MPC #159 Stopped Action 2/3-3/27

[skialpy]

Edited to extend deadline.

With a dry January and some storms stacking up on the west coast seems like a good time to take some action photos. Sports action, kids in play, wildlife in motion, whatever your inspiration; up the shutter speed and stop the action.



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 (or 6) photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.
8. And have fun.

Since there was a pretty poor showing last contest, what about pushing this one until the end of March? That should open up more possibilities with both skiing and biking (and some warm-weather stuff in the southwest and southeast, too).

Haven't heard any resistance to the idea so pushing the deadline out to March 27th
