The Photo Contest for May--the Theme is Motion

Motion can mean anything that can or does move: vehicles, air, cars or other conveyances, wherever your mind leads you!
Any photo that you yourself took is eligible! A new photo, or an old one, scanned or not. No limits.

Timeline:

Submissions: May 11, Saturday

Preliminary Polls: May 18, Saturday

Final Poll: May 22, Wednesday

Winners announced: May 25, Saturday

I'll include the legal stuff in Submission Post.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I may actually have to shoot a new one this time. 😆 Grumpy Old Guy May 2024 #11

If I wanted to submit a photo, is there a dedicated post where contestants submit their photo as a reply - I assume there is a 1 photo limit - and also should there be a caption?

I never did this before but am considering putting my hat in the ring this time around.

Best Regards,

Pete

LOL, there's one in every crowd..............

I'm a practitioner of ICM, intentional camera movement, rendering the type of photograph you might expect. I guess the question would be, is camera movement acceptable?

Thank you!
