Photo of the Month - January 2017 - Entries

Post by Voyager One »

New year, new contest!

Theme:
"BLUR"
... set by the last month's winner oftcrash.

"It could be motion, it could be a bokeh effect, it could be long exposure, it could be a mistake. Anything goes, so long as at least part of the image is blurry."


As always, rules can be found HERE.

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:
Let's 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: 0117POTM_Dave.jpg / 0117POTM_orudge.jpg / 0117POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0117POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

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 for 7 days (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.
(* If the winner doesn't choose a theme within 7 days, the next month's theme will be an "Open" theme).

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.

Cheers people!
Leon

Not sure if this counts as "blur" or not however I'd say it does. Picture is of the old railway bridge in Kesh, County Fermanagh. It was a beautiful summer's day so I went fishing to my usual spot which involves going over the bridge so it's a good job it wasn't demolished!

They look a lot like the SNCF BB8100 series and the various derived configurations.

I hope this one is blurry enough, but at least it is transport related (not like last month)...

Bit of an oldie, but I've entered a lot of long exposure 'light blur' type stuff before. So going to try and do something slightly different :)

Well, my late entry :

Going over one of the many bridges (or viaducts ?) on the curvy line between Jakarta and Bandung.

No, it is the Aftermath Dislocation Principle, when it was on its UK tour.

World tour starts in VIENNA
