October 2010 Contest

[JCagle]

Typically the October contest is themed around the fall colors, but we are going to hold off on that one for a while so everyone can get a chance to shoot them this year. (hint hint)

This month the theme for the contest is "black and white", and we aren't talking about the paint scheme of the power. Show off your favorite black and white photos in this month's contest.


Entries can be submitted immediately, and will be accepted until the 26th of September (I'm trying to standardize the date to the last Sunday of the month whenever possible). Following the close of entry the poll will be up for 5 days.

Each participant is allowed two entries this month.

Good luck to all! Contact me with any questions you may have.

I was in Kentucky for Spring Break visiting relatives and got the opportunity to railfan my old stomping grounds; the NS Central Division. On this cool, dreary morning, NS 376 comes off the Louisville Dst via the North Wye while NS 375 slows to a stop at Faulkner Rd, north of Danville, KY. March 15, 2010.

Mr Cagle:

I have made the necessary adjustment to my entry and went with something from "Spring Break" 2010.
Also added another from my NS Archives.

I didn't notice it was his first entry. When I saw that shot hit the board I knew it would be tough to beat. Definitely some great work
