Photo Of The Month - August 2013 Entries

Post by Geo Ghost »

Hey all.

Sorry for the wait. I had a longer than usual week last week place a birthday weekend. Focus has been elsewhere :P


The theme for this month is Leisure and activities
Set by last months winner, Vear




Encase you're new, or need a refresh...
Rules can be found Here.
Please read and familiarise yourselves with them if you haven't before.
Previous winners can also be found on that page.

How to enter:
Easy - simply upload your image to this topic to enter or link it from a trusted site such as flickr, photobucket, DeviantArt, your personal website etc.
Uploading is preferred as it keeps things together. If you're linking from a URL, having a small 'preview' image and a link to a high-res image would be helpful.
If uploading direct to the wiki:
I like to keep entries in a certain named format for organisation reasons as well as keeping record of them in the entries topic and here. If you prefer to upload to the wiki, please keep it in the same naming format as other entries and inform me they are already on the wiki. Name format is - month|year|POTM_user name.
For example: 0813POTM_DaveW.jpg / 0813POTM_orudge.jpg / 0813POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0813POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

If you upload to the wiki with a different format, I will have to re-upload the image again with the right name. Sorry to be picky, but I want to keep all the entries organised and in the same manner.

At the end of the month, this topic will close and a voting topic will be started with all the entries in for people to choose their top one.
All entries will be uploaded to the tt-forums wiki and stored there for voting and also for archive.
Entries close on the last day of the month, voting will be available till the 7th of each month (approximately).
The winner will need to contact me about what they want the next theme to be and then that will be posted in the entry topic for the next month. Then we repeat from there. Simple. :D

If you wish to change your entry, you may so long as the entries are still open. Simply upload a new one to the topic and remove your old one.
Otherwise, it may get confusing as to which one you are entering. If there are two entries submitted and you have not informed me which one you wish to be used, I will use the first one posted.

Best of luck everyone!

When you say Leisure and Activities, can that mean open days and such?

If I'm the one to answer, I initially thought the theme to be more open than recent ones. That would include anything that links transportation with some form of having fun: tourist services, open days, or even perhaps a couple of buddies playing cards in a compartment. Anything counts if you can only find a proper justification ;)

Would this be ok?

NOTE: This is NOT the finished image. This is just a reduced el-cheapo version. The one that will be used is currently being uploaded to flickr, but is a whopping 44MB!

Edit - This is it.

Some boats and yachts in Boston harbor.

Note: I cropped a little area on the lower right, because some moron sticked his face there. :x

I was hoping for a better picture to come along, but I never found one. So here's my entry, taken a couple weeks ago.

Well, before I forget about my entry again...

Taken in Saint Tropez about a week and a half ago.
Only thing I think I have that will fit in with the Leisure theme :P

Late entry from me too!

46115 Scots Guardsman opens the taps whilst shunting to the north end of platform 7, filling the station hall and covering the abundant enthusiasts out to see her! 46115 worked a railtour north from Preston over Shap Summit, taking over from 86259 'Les Ross'. Clicky-linky for full size. Not a great photo but fits the theme quite well and there was much merriment on the footplate and the platform.
