Greetings Flagship Bannerites:
The August/September 2016 forum flagship theme will be "Ferries with sceneic backgrounds that have summer beauty," or something like that.
Specifically, it is photos of ferries (or from ferries with a good portion of the ferry you're on showing) PLUS some obvious good-weather scenery from any of these FOUR specific routes:
1) BC Ferries Inside Passage (the route 10 summer routing)
2) WSF Anacortes / San Juans route (including Sidney)
3) BC Ferries Route 7 (Earls Cove - Salterty Bay)
4) AMHS South-East Mainline, including route down to Bellingham.
These are routes where the summer sees lots of tourist traffic and the sceneic background is an iconic summer image.
Of course there are other routes that evoke images of summer, but for this particular theme we are staying with the 4 routes listed above.
Photos can be of the ships at the terminals or en-route. But they have to be in the service area of the routes noted above.
If you're shooting from the ship, you need a good portion of the ship in the shot. Think of a forward looking shot with side of the ship in the photo. The theme is ferries in summer route scenes, NOT summer route scenes with a bit of ferry.
Photos don't necessarily have to have been shot between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox (June 20 to Sept 20), but they should represent good scenic summer weather. So sorry no gloomy rainy days even if they were in July. Make it look like a sunny summer day or a warm summer sunset evening, etc. Make it look like lovely summer. If you can take a March or November shot and fool someone to make it look like a summer scene, then go for it. But you'd better be good at the illusion...
------------------------
Nominations will close in late July (time day to be posted later) blah blah blah.
3 nominations limit.
Usual size restrictions apply. For further information, please see our Forum Flagship rules, located here.
