ParticipantThe funny one does not have any kids in it. 🙂

ParticipantThis being fark, I’d lean towards funny.
And boobies or beer if you can fit them in.July 16, 2008 at 7:01 pm #17154justkat
ParticipantI tried to fly a kite with a stapler on it so it would look like the stapler was hang gliding.
EPIC FAIL.
It makes me want to move somewhere so sparsely populated I can try this crap without drawing a gaggle of people close enough to stare but still out of “could you hold this while I …” range.D’oh! Prolly too later for a paper mache stapler… ‘sides that would be tough to make well. 😉
Just had a vision of you attaching wings to a stapler and flinging it into the air and madly snapping away…. 🙂

ParticipantI was out shooting a while back, and thought I had discovered a new species around here….I was going to call it the PterodactyHawk…When I viewed them on my monitor, it was just a really, really big Turkey Vulture. My camera wasn’t set properly to shoot against the bright sky, so they didn’t turn out well…I would have been furious !

Participantwould shots taken from airplanes while in flight, that don’t necessarily show any subject airborne (i.e., out the window), be acceptable for this?

ParticipantWow, that’s a hard question to get a good read on, soosh…. My guess would be that if you were showing the wing in the shot it could be OK, but I’m not the Controlling Authority(tm) here…. 🙂

Participanthere’s one I’m thinking of

KeymasterThat really doesn’t fit my reading of the theme description, soosh. Nothing in the photo has wings. jpatten can jump in if my understanding is off base, though…

Participantnothing in the photo does, but the shot couldn’t be obtained without wings/being airborne.
July 17, 2008 at 12:10 am #17161Elsinore
KeymasterYeah, but the difficulty specifically says the subject must have wings.

ParticipantI almost submitted this one:
…but the wings aren’t visible. That white line that disappears behind the trees is a departure from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
And I’m betting the passengers weren’t all that happy about the wind under their wings. Or their butts.

Participantso pictures from airplanes showing the wing are ok?
July 17, 2008 at 12:21 am #17164Elsinore
KeymasterI would think that would be fair game, soosh.
