    Maggot Photo Contest 3 "Airborne": Aug 4- Aug 18

    Thanks for all the votes guys and girls. I'm glad that there are people out there who like my picture.

    Airborne: Pretty simple, lets unlock the magic of flight.

    Rules:

    1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.

    2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.

    3. The contest moderator will choose 5 of the photos to put in a poll for the mags to vote on and decide the winner.

    4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way not an option)

    5. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.

    I really like "Air Zippy".

    Here is one from today at the Hergiswil Lakeside Festival, in Switzerland.



    The landing wasn't pretty

    And another

    Airborne

    I am very new to this whole photography thing but I figured that these friendly contests would be a great way to improve. Needless to say that any feedback or tips are welcome.

    Point of the mountain.


    Dragonfly down by Utah lake.


    Superman

    Ok so the "airborne" connection is weak on the last one but since doing superman always gave me a feeling of flying as a kid I thought it worked.
    All pictures taken last week by me.

    My guess would be that she just let go of a rope...

    Well, if airborne includes birds, I'm in.



    Edit: It doesn't count, I took it in late July. O well, I guess I just suck that way.
