Default Bi-monthly Photo Contest "Flags"



The theme for this contest will be
"Flags"

Challenge yourself to get a shot with some flags. That should be easy!
The age of the photo is not an issue with this contest (Winter rules apply) but editing, other than cropping, IS NOT allowed.
Your Monte MUST be included somewhere in your photo.

Ready, Set, GO!!!

Submissions will be accepted through next Saturday, January 21, 2017. This will give everyone a chance to find or take a picture!!

That's a better pic Greg. And eligible, since there no editing. Great color in the sky (is that a UFO there?!?), but looks like you could have used a little wind there! Thanx for sharing!


Taken a Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina back in 2011, the day after the All-Star Race:

It was early day and too bright, hard shadows, the lighting was terrible. But I had to get the shot when I could as the area was often busy and closed that week. It is one of my all-time favorite backdrops in a photo I've taken, so I had to work the shot into one of these contests.

You didn't really think I'd be postin' a Canadian flag, did you?

Smile Flags the Stars and Stripes see the reflection in the hood

Here is one I took a few months ago, this is just by the local Chevy dealer who owns all the Flags set up here and then if you look out to the Highway, this is Hwy 81, they have the Avenue of Flags that was set up to Honor the American Veterans, so on the light poles on both sides of the Highway there is a flag flying also.
I believe there are 14 Stars and Stripes Flying in this shot. If you count the one reflecting on my hood.

Man Brent, enough already, what the heck, ultra flag day or something, jheesh, flag central, nicely played...

That is a UFO, Space was looking down on us...


Dean, I had to count the flags like 5 times to get to 14, man what a mind trick, with all of them being there but not there until you count over and over . Very nice photo, sweet you managed to capture the flags reflection centered on the hood like you did...

This past summer I took this one at Domino's Farms, home of Domino's Pizza World Headquarters, in Ann Arbor. They have these flags that line the boulevard up to the building's main entrance which is directly behind me in the picture. A few fun facts on the building - it's the World's longest linear office structure (almost a full kilometer) and has the World's largest copper-covered roof.

There are 9 in the immediate back drop, 4 on the Poles on the road, and then 1 in the center of the Hood, there are also 2 more reflected on the hood that I didn't count, that jumps to 16....
