Ok coasterbruh's resurrection of the photo contest thread gave me the idea to re-try this idea.

Ok a few rules:

1. The photos MUST be of Carowinds, or taken in Carowinds, everything else will be disregarded. If this contest is successful I will probably have a non-Carowinds contest after this one.

2. The photo MUST be taken and submitted by YOU in this thread. Post *one* link to each photo you are submitting. If you need a host, I'll be happy to do it, just shoot me an e-mail to jammer@triad.rr.com with the attached pictures.


4. Currently I have no limit to the amount of pictures that one person can submit, but I get a bunch of submissions then I will have to limit it to an appropriate amount.

5. In about 3 weeks I will close this thread and start some polls and let *everyone* vote on the best pictures, in sort of a 'playoff style'. No BCS here :ph34r: .

6. I don't have any ideas for any prizes at the moment but if ya'll think of anything good just let me know .

Also thought about having separate categories for film and digital, aerial and ground, night and day, coaster and non-coaster, and the like. Are these ideas good?

Should be it for now, I will post my submissions later.

Not sure if everyone has seen my pics, but here's a few oldies but goodies. The older ones my Mom took, but I scanned

Ricochet - Notice the mysterious floating shoe...



Top Gun - Running into trees and a real plane in the shot to boot...



Future Spongebob Squarepants Coaster???



Fros!



This one might cause riots...



Let me know if everyones seen all these I won't post anymore... Watch out next year, I've got a new 5.0 mp Sony digital

Nice pictures Jarvis. So far though I think SwampFox43's wallpaper of Vortex is the best shot I've seen.

Wish we could have gotten this going back last year when we first talked about it.

[carowindsfreak13]

That shot of the cyclone makes it look it was painted yellow.

[RollerBee]

Why does the Goldrusher photo have ring around it?

[Jay]

Why does the Goldrusher photo have ring around it?

Peephole? Fish-eye lens?




Love all the pics so far guys, all these are excellent pics! Should be a tough competition.

[MarkD]

I was trying to isolate Goldrusher without anything else being in the pic.

[RollerBee]

I get it now.

[bgwfreak]

I didn't even know Mickey left DisneyWorld!
