Weekend Modeling Photo Challenge "Loading/Unloading" *SPECIAL EDITION* Ends Tuesday, June 1st. Railroading is not just about trains running from one place to another. It's about the freight/passengers they carry. This week lets take a look at those items while they are loaded or unloaded from our trains. -Holiday Extension- Due to the upcoming holiday this challenge will be extended one day. ** Please read all rules as they ARE different from previous weeks!** If you notice a typo, error, or confusing statement, please notify user Mark Watson immediately for correction and clarification. For this special edition of the Weekend Modeling Photo Challenge each member is tasked to create up to 4 images that together tell a story of railroading. The story can be as simple or complex as necessary and you may include a single sentence or a few paragraphs to explain the story, but each story will be judged by the images and the way they link together. Please post all content in a SINGLE post. Don't hesitate to ask any questions, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Modeling Photo Challenge Topic: "Loading/Unloading" 1. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!! 2. The entry deadline is Midnight (UTC -11), Tuesday, June 1st. Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread. 3. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between Friday May 28th and Tuesday, June 1st. Please use the challenge as a motive to take a new photographs! 4. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will not be included in the poll and may be moved to the cutting room floor thread. - Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct. - 5. **Up to 4 images per participant so please choose the images carefully. 6. Though realism is popular among voters, it is not required. Any image or snap shot related to the topic is acceptable! 7. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged. 8. Please use the Cutting Room Floor thread for related but ineligible images. 9. A clever and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters. (And makes it easier for me when posting the poll.) 10. Photo editing and enhancing is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged, however the subject and focal point must remain that of a physical model. On June 2nd, all entries will be put up for a public vote, in which all members of TrainBoard may vote for their favorite entry(s), regardless of whether you submitted an entry or not. Voting will last 4 days. You may vote for multiple entries. To do this, you must select all entries for which you wish to vote at once, and then click the submit button.
I think this is the first time we've had someone win by default. We didn't even need to put up a poll. Congratulations DJ!!
I think you would have given a stiff field a good run, DJ, so don't feel badly about this default. I am busy and can't participate as I have been, especially with the requirement to produce at least two decent shots for a 'story'. Spring is a demanding time for anyone with property to keep up.
I just want to clarify that entering multiple photographs is NOT a requirement, only a supplemental option. Single images are very welcome.
