January's topic ::Dusk
Interpret that how you will, keeping in mind that the photos must be MINI related and that only one photo per member per month may be submitted.

I looked up "dusk" in the dictionary: n. The darker stage of twilight, especially in the evening. So would this be rejected because it was taken in the morning? Plus, it's too light.
Plus I hate the clutter.

Thanks, Kurt. It sounds like dusk is that time of the evening I was talking about elsewhere--when the deep dark blue of the sky makes my heart weep...
aw, shucks.
January kicks off our third year of monthly photo contests on NAM.

I'd say go Darker! (I've got a few locals and ideas brewing that makes me think INEED to get the photo made tonight)

1.the state or period of partial darkness between day and night; the dark part of twilight.
2.partial darkness; shade; gloom: She was barely visible in the dusk of the room.
I have another question.
Does the car have to be full scale?

Am i still allowed since i don't own it anymore, so it's an older pic? :(

Dusk or civil dusk is the time at which the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time objects are distinguishable but there is no longer enough light to perform any outdoor activities. Nautical dusk is 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time, objects are no longer distinguishable, and the horizon is no longer visible to the naked eye. Astronomical dusk is the time at which the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time the sun no longer illuminates the sky.
Dusk should not be confused with sunset, which is the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun itself sinks below the horizon.
Just so you know dusk is after the sun has dropped below the horizon. Looks like most meet that criteria that were posted here except that morning one.
So this is my first entry for the PotM....when I submitted my file, my only confirmation that it worked was a "You don't have permission to view this topic" (or something to that effect) message. Does that sound right? maybe a little guidance for the newbie? Thanks in advance everyone!
BTW, a couple people have submitted photos in broad daylight. Let's just say that while broad, my interpretation of "dusk" does not include a bright sunlit day with the sun directly overhead.
