New Round: TRANSPORTATION
It is nice to see that a couple of new names joined the Friendlymoose Photo Contest. I don't know if it has to do with the change of the name, that it is hosted in the Photography community or that the prize money is in Hive now, but it is cool to see a lot of activity! Thank you all for that.
I always say; "The more, the merrier". So if you know other photographers that might want to join, feel free to tag them in the comments!
And now for the theme of this round. With 168 rounds of this photo contest I do need to recycle some subjects, but we did this one already quite a while ago. But if you already joined back then, please don't recycle (pun intended) your photos. You can use a shot from your archive, but it is more fun to work out your idea and go out to shoot 'fresh' material.
TRANSPORTATION is a very wide subject. You can choose your own transportation, like my road bike I shared below. But you can also share your car or any other form of transportation. It doesn't necessarily need to be yours. You can also photograph a train, boat or a plane.
As every week; Have fun! Share your shots! And interact with the other contestants (you can check the #FPC tag to see all entries).
You can also join the Hive Photographers Discord Server to talk about the contest or other photography related subjects.

Rules in short!
- Create a blog post featuring a photo that fits this week’s theme
- Be sure to add the following tag to your post: #FPC
- Leave a comment on at least one other entry!
- While archived photos are allowed, I recommend sharing a recent shot.
- Add details about your photo: What do we see? Where was it taken? What inspired you to capture it? Which techniques or equipment did you use?
- You may include additional photos in your post, but only the first image will be considered for the contest.
- Optional: Add a link to your post and the photo itself in a comment on this announcement post.
About the Friendlymoose Photocontest
The Friendlymoose Photocontest (#FPC) is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.
This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!
Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!
Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #FPC so I can find your entry!
You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.
Winners will receive Hive tokens and Ecency points.
| Place | Hive tokens | Ecency points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 100 |
| 2 | 2 | 50 |
| 3 | 1 | 25 |
