Group Panoramic Photo Details
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A PHOTO TO BE IN THE PICTURE!!
If you THINK you might be attending the Photo shoot this year please go to the EVENT PLANNER and register your name. This does not obligate you to attend, but it will help the photographer to guage how many MINIs / Minis are going to be there and set up the parameters for the picture ahead of time.
Date: Saturday May 5th 2007
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Base of Fontana Dam
Cost: Click here for the order form
George S. Pearl of Atlanta Panorama / ALPS Labs is returning to take our group photo again.
Like last year there will be two pictures taken: one with just the MINIs and one with the MINIs and their proud owners!
In order to speed up the process George has provided us with PDF order form. You can print it out, have it filled out and just drop off when you are done and not have to wait in line like last year!!
The most important thing is that the form be TOTALLY FILLED OUT and that a PHONE NUMBER IS PROVIDED so George can reach you if needed.
Click here for pricing and an order form
George has also come up with three easy ways to pay this year:
Volunteer list
1. William / Wagnbat
2. Matt / PassatDoTd
3. Mike / Mishka
4. Jene /Catterfly
5. Tim / iflymini
6. John / iflymini
7. John / Obsessive
8. Celia / Obsessive
Keep in mind the actuall picture is 5 feet long and show much better than this reduce picture!!
For those that haven't seen one of these done, it's pretty cool. The cars are line up in a half cirlce, the photograhper is in a cherry picker with a hi-tech camera that move about 180 degrees, so when the picture is done it appears that the cars where in a straigh line
.

Even if you don't plan on buying a picture I would like to invite / encourage anyone that can to attend!!
A. It's a pretty cool process to see how it's made.
B. I think last year we were in and out in just about a hour, and it gave us a great chance to smooze and mingle and oggle at the other MINIs while the shot was being set up!!
C. It will help make for a better picture for your fellow MINIacs that are buying one!!

That was the S2000 group, and that happened in 2005 after the first motd panoramic I believe.
We left some minor ruts last year just because the ground was so soggy... But I talked to TVA afterwards, and they were understanding that the ruts were not caused by abuse... We just need to be mindful to keep damage to a minimum.
Or 8 feet. I have an 8 footer from last year, and it's quite impressive framed. And yes, it's getting shipped to Guam.

There will likely be stragglers after the pic hanging about... Are the TT's planning on meeting in the grass, or at the parking lot at the end of the dam? If at the end, there should be plenty of room down there. If on the grass (you guys have TVA permission, ya?) there should be plenty of that to go around too. You can see from the pic up top that with ~ 150 cars, we only take up about 30% of the grass.
As for volunteers, I will be there around 9am. George will likely be there already marking the field. Hopefully by 9:30, we'll already be lining up cars when the masses start arriving at 10am. That should give us a half hour or so to practice lining up the early birds, so that we can get everyone lined up quickly and efficiently.
You don't have to buy a picture to be in the picture. Please register here to ensure your Mini is accounted for when marking spaces. The photographer will take the number of Mini's into account when marking so that the picture is as full as possible. Last years pic was a bit empty at the top due to accounting for way more Minis than showed up, likely caused to poor communication about when/where the pic was taking place.
