May 2008 Photography Contest Submission Thread: On The Horizon

[major error]

The photography contest is back, under new/temporary management! Every month, there will be a new "Theme" to capture. The picture can be of anything pertaining to that theme. A voting thread will follow, in which we can each vote for our favorite entry. Take a look at the previous voting thread here.

No prizes this time around...
This contest is free for all to enter! PM me or nate0123 with any, ideas, comments, or concerns.


May's Theme: On The Horizon
Show us grand vistas! (No foreground subject!)

Submissions for this contest must be posted by Saturday, May 24th @ 9pm EST.
A new voting thread will be created shortly after, and run for 1 week.


Photography Contest Rules:

1. Your photo submission must be a NEW PHOTO, taken BY YOU, between NOW and the deadline date specified in this post.*
2. Please submit only 1 picture. If you want to share other work, there are plenty of other threads in which to do so. Here's one!
3. Once you submit you pic, please don't go back and change it. Once you submit, make sure its exactly the way you want it.
4. The photo can be photoshopped and can be altered in any way, shape or form.
5. Images over 800 pixels wide will be resized for the voting thread.
6. Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification.

* I may, at my discretion, use exif data to check the "taken on" date of your photo. Make sure the date is set correctly on your camera prior to taking your photo entry. If exif data is not available on your submission due to editing, I may ask for the raw photo for verification. Keep a copy, just in case!

well, if I hadn't picked up the ball, I'm sure someone else would've--seems like there was too much interest for the contest to die off...

...probably bad form to use Ansel Adams as an example, but a pic where the subject is at a great distance...

Cityscapes, sun/moon rise/set, bad weather rolling in... stuff like that
