I like to enter every competition, but I am going to struggle with this one... How far above ground is aerial? For instance, could it be from atop a building, or are we talking several feet up, such as towers etc?

Don't worry, on another thread it seems to have been watered down from Aerial shots to shots taken from above, including from overbridges.

Hmm, this could be interesting. I think I've already decided on my entry, although I may wait until tomorrow to make up my mind, then choose after I update my RailMiles account.

The class 180 winner from a couple of weeks ago being a classic example!
Plenty more where that came from.
Can I please conform with Mojo that photos from overbridges / road bridges are OK?

Yeah but these photos are moderated so if they don't fit into category, they will not be entered!

Didn't seem to matter when the subject was photos taken 'from with a depot'!! lol

Jordy's usual response is if you don't think it fits the theme then don't vote for it.

I do seem to remember that in the English Electric POTW in spring he allowed a photo of a plane through, and said what you said!

I remember that as well, look at it and thought WTF!
Anyway, submitted my picture and I think I stand a chance, all depends on what I am up against

Looks about as aerial as most of my choices for this round, I'm more spoilt for choice after yesterday's bash too!

Yes Matt, that will be fine.
Today I decided to go and take some pictures for the first time ever while the Class 150s are still active in my town. I cycled to the railway line and took some shots using the camera attachment I have for my PSP. The picture quality isn't good as it's only 1MP but I am still pleased with my efforts. I shall put a picture in the competition but I doubt it'll win as the quality is so poor compared to others. It was hard enough getting the shot in the first place as the sun was shining onto the screen, obscuring my eyesight and preventing me from seeing what was in the frame - half of the pictures I took I've deleted as the picture was so bad. If anyone wants to see these shots I've just put them up on my profile (there's only three of them though).

Why not use your phone if the PSP gave such poor results? As I have said, try not to mention what you have taken and where it is - it can make your entry obvious, and this is meant to be an anonymous competition!

Too skint to get to it, let alone go on the thing!
Best get on with finding an entry for this really!
EDIT: Found an older photo than I was going to use, but I'm well chuffed with how this one came out so implusively going with it. About to enter it now.
