2006 photo contest

Its that time of the year again.

Guess what I was out doing tonight.???
No, its not mowing grass[:(]
I hope your thinking about the contest. I’d love to see more and more modern mainline folks.
Come ON, get those big diesels out there and get some photos.[^]

When is the deadline for submissions?

Hey Marty, I want to extend to you an invite to my forum. We need at least one garden railroader other than me.

The deadline is August 10. Plenty of time to submit!

Thanks for the invite.
For those of you who say,
“why try, I’ll never win”
can be provine wrong.
I use contest as a personal challenge to move one step forward.
And don’t make this too hard, play with your cameras , test out different settings and lightings.
Also, the judges can’t enter,heheheheh so we don’t have to worry about them
[;)][:o)][:o)]

Marty is right. Give it a try. If you don’t win the contest, there are other places to get your photo published (End of the line, web site, etc) that we use from photo contest submissions.

And also, it’s not only the judges that can’t enter, it’s anyone from Kalmbach. [:D][:D]

Thats a good point Rene, Last year I entered my first city wide contest and placed in all three photos, i was shocked.
I mainly wanted folks so see what outdoor modelrailroading was all about.

well gimme another geep 30 and some more cars and i could make a pic!

wonder if O gauge is welcome?

August 10th is the deadline huh? I should be able to get a good pic or two by then!

Bring this back up.
I have about 6 shots, I’m tring to have me wify help pick the 3 best. Or reshot.
Nows the time if you like flowers…

I have 3 great (in my opinion) shots from an open house that a member from my Garden RR club had. There are a lot more, but I narrowed it down to those 3.

I’ll be ready!

Perhaps a Japanese scene or two would be unusual…

Ah, so Mr. Foster, You are very perceptive!

[:-^] [bow]

Maybe I will try(?)

Ralph, nobody will believe there are prototypes for your locos!

Nice shots, good looking RR.
I don’t really think you will get junk mail from entering the contest.
I’ve enter the last many years and can’t think of any junk that came from them using my address

Marty,

Thanks. I will ask them to night.
