October will be the 46th NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

The winner of the October Photo Contest will be featured in the next issue of NAM Alliance Magazine

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 25th of this month.

The photo contest is held to encourage people to take new photos with the topic in mind. As a result, please do not submit any photos taken before the contest topic was announced (see contest rules regarding EXIF data). Photos posted to this thread do not count. You must upload photos to the monthly photo contest gallery in order to be entered.


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'll go with the second definition in my dictionary:
The state of illumination of the atmosphere during this interval, especially after a sunset.
Guess sending my camera off for a sensor cleaning will have to wait.

 

Or expedite it. (assuming you didn't use up the $$ to pay off Dave for an incognito sunset theme)

 

Actually I came up with this one. And no $$ or black pugs were involved.

 

Or, this definition of twilight- "The time of the day when the sun is just below the horizon, especially the period between sunset and dark." (the italics and bold print were my doing, just for emphasis)

Phew! This means I don't have to stake out anymore places for a good night shot!

 

So where are you hiding the It-It's?

 

I had always understood TWILIGHT to be just before dawn. And the low light after sunset to be DUSK. Being a chronic night owl this posed a problem.

But I found this....works for me

"The diffused light from the sky during the early evening or early morning when the sun is below the horizon and its light is refracted by the earth's atmosphere."

 

In my belly!

 

You can interpret the theme as you will. You don't have to go look up the definition. haha
I just think of strange, sort of creepy lighting. Thats what I am going for.

 

Strange, creepy, dark, October......HALLOWEEN!

 

EXACTLY!!!

 

We went out to shoot my entry today. I got a good one, I just submitted it. I also got this one, which looks really good.



That's the moon up top and the reflection of the twilight sky on the door.

 

One of the good ones i got today, gonna go out a few more times I want more twilight less sunset. Its really annoying, but rewarding trying to get that twilight scene, you only have a short period of time to get the work done

 

is that photoshopped or does the sky actually look that shade of purple?

very cool

 

Thats how it was.

 

Well I've got one from the beginning of the month but I'm not too happy with it. I was going to go out a couple more times but now I have a nice dent on the front of my car, right next to the emblem. So I guess that one will have to do.

 

This is way harder than it looks!!!

 

I haven't taken anything, so everyone has a chance.

 

So I proposed the topic "Turkeys" for November. Dave says that's a dumb idea.. I think it's freaking amazing. I mean it's not that hard to get a turkey to pose in front of your MINI now is it? You could also get the turkey to pose inside of your MINI..

 

I've been called a "Turkey" many times; does parking my butt in the drivers seat qualify?

 

ok its oct 24th ... where is the poll?!? getting anxious over here to see the new pics to choose from.

*edit* oops.. one more day haha

 

In with an HDR.

 

^aaww cheater haha
