The next photo contest: The Beach. Anyone interested?

Former Member · Mar 7, 2019

Now that the Winter Wonderland Photo Contest is in the history books, Im just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested in entering a contest called "The Beach?" It hasnt been a cold winter here, but what would warm me up is to see some tropical pictures from anywhere in the world.

Photos will need to show some sand and water, plus sunshine, sunrise or sunset, or even at night. Prizes will be similar to the previous contests, need to line up some sponsors aside from myself.

If youre interested in entering, or voting please take part in the poll. It will be open for a week following this post.

Please dont post photos here, just let me know if youre interested. If theres enough interest, a new thread will be created inviting your photos.

Best regards,

Rob (currently nursing a damaged left hand)

Heck yeah, I'm in! Maybe because I just recently took my Mavic to Hawaii for the first time!

Depends on when you have the contest...it being about 10 degrees outside right now indicates it may be a while before I see white sands that aren't snow!

Maybe it's time for you to take a vacation. I could use one too!

It snowed on top of blooming wildflowers in the desert here right after the winter contest ended, so I’m game for this one!

Once we get temps above freezing, the ice and snow is gone, then maybe.

Great. We have 9 members so far who will submit an entry. As soon as we get to 20 possible entires, the contest will begin on another thread.

Thank you for your participation!

Love to enter but it will probably be 4 months before the snow melts enough for any beaches to be visible

Cheers

I voted to join in. I was already planing on heading to the beach tomorrow for a sunrise flight.

Is it just one per member?

Tofino · Mar 8, 2019

Yes i would love to be entered in this contest but with winter still very strong here I will have to use this pic as my entry. I will not be getting out to the west coast until June and July.

...Not my pic..... but from the web cam at Long Beach Lodge in Tofino BC.

This one is Ours, but it almost feels like Cheating.

Once we figured out how to get Millie airborne last Fall, it was only a matter of heading straight up a couple hundred feet, doing a 180, dropping the Gimbal, and pulling the Trigger.

(23 yrs ago we got Dumb Lucky, stealing our Property at a Stoopid Low Price, in the midst of a horrific depression that almost buried Folks in our area.)

So, here's one of the first shots 'Milliie' the Mavic Air ever took. To this day (9 mos. later) we continue receiving Kudos, Millie keeps cranking out Pix like it day after day, and we're having a Ball.
