Post by: Barry Drive on November 15, 2016, 11:08:02 AM
* Nominations closed - voting underway *

In summary: Voting closes 1 December.

Last photo of the month for this year!

The rules:

The winning photo will be loaded to the actbus.net website and posted to ACT Bus on Facebook. The winner and runner(s)-up will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote. By submitting a photo, you are giving permission for it to be loaded onto the ACT Bus Gallery and Facebook page.

  • photo must be "owned" by the person submitting it (if not, you must have the permission of the photographer to submit the photo - and identify the photographer)
  • two* photographs may be submitted by any one person, provided they have not been submitted before

  • submitted photographs must prominently feature:
    • bus infrastructure (such as bus stop, bus station, bus depot) within the ACT / Queanbeyan region (location must be specified)
    and/or
    • a bus from the ACT or Queanbeyan (taken within the region or a former ACT/Queanbeyan bus) where -
      • the bus is in focus
      • the fleet or registration number of the bus is identifiable (or supplied by photographer if not visible in photograph)
  • photos narrower than 640 pixels will not be accepted

If possible, please supply date or month of photo.

Refer here (http://actbus.net/gallery-submissions/) for full ACT Bus photo submission conditions.

Photos can be submitted four ways: (1) by posting to this forum topic (2) by posting on ACT Bus facebook page (and mentioning POTM) (3) by tweeting to @actbus or @actbusspotter (4) by contacting ACT Bus (submit a "contact us" form, send a message to our Facebook page or send me a Private Message) - and we'll send you an email address.

Unhosted photos may be uploaded into the ACT Bus Gallery which will apply a watermark. Requests to remove the watermark will not be considered.

*This month we are seeking photos of multiple buses in the photo. If you submit a photo (or two) matching this criterion, you may post up to three photos but you may only submit a maximum of 2 photos in this "bonus" category.

To ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height if 640 if a "portrait" aspect) - photos wider than 640 are required to use the option width=640 or height=640 in the image tag. For example: [img width=640] instead of [img].

Submissions close midnight 27 November, Australian Eastern Daylight savings Time.

Voting will commence on 28 November. Voting will close on 1 December.

Thought I'd experiment a little with some multi-shot action, mostly for this, but also to practice.

1. (615 + 603 passing through Russel) Now even though it doesn't look like it, and although I was advised against doing this, this shot was actually taken from the front seat of 615 through 2 windows. (taken: 7/11/16)

2. (615 + 975 passing through Narrabundah) Experimenting a little on shots from inside buses, this one could've been better imo. (taken 7/11/16)

3. (302 + 593 on Cohen Street) This one was just for fun! (taken 15/11/16)

I haven't found the time to sort through the thousands of photos and submit for a couple of months, so glad to be back.

It's a close vote (sort of) - but we need more votes to help decide the runner up. If there isn't a decisive result, voting will be extended a further 24 hours.

We have a tied result.

In accordance with clause 4.7.ii of the Photo of the Month by-laws, should there be a tied vote there will be a 24 hour run-off vote to decide the winner. So new vote is now open.

Should the result still be tied tomorrow, there will be a random coin toss. Or I'll just pick one.

After examining the entrails of a chicken* (refer clause 4.8.vii), the photo of 546 has been declared the winner.

(* no chickens were harmed)

A POTM photo category for next year will involve "bus oddities" - that is something about the bus body which is non-standard. Examples include the all-green front on 478 and 351; the front fleet numbers on 317; the large ACTION logo on 956 or the lack of logo on several buses including 614.
