May will be the 53rd NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

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.

May Photo Topic :: Weekend Morning

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.

There are mornings at the weekend?

You're going to make me get up early for this one aren't you.

...so are you going to check the exif to make sure it was taken on a Saturday or Sunday?

I guess this will narrow down the competition to those who can drag themselves out of bed on a Saturday morning. Time to start brainstorming...

I wouldn't say it has to be taken on a weekend, but the composition has to convince the judges that its a weekend morning. I have ideas, but they involve taking photos at about 5:30am.

When I wake up at 5:30am, its usually a problem, that's called insomnia.

If I can get my MINI into my friends funeral I would have the topic covered. His surname is Sunday and I'm sure there will be plenty of people "morning" his loss.

I like being surprised by the interpretations of these less predictable topics!

As I was suffering a bout of insomnia this morning, we got up and took the photo. I submitted it, so I don't have to worry about getting up again. (Yawn.)

And I'd like to say a big thank you to my wife Cathy, who's willing to be disturbed at 5:45am to do the stunt driving. ***

I have one candidate but there is another one I'd like to stage...its just hard to make myself get up and do it when I'm only 18, and wake up 4 days a week for 8am summer classes.

Maybe thats better for the rest of you

I was all set to enter this month - clubMINI had a Run on Saturday and I was going to take a photo and enter it just in time. Then I was sick and couldn't go. I'll enjoy seeing what everyone comes up with.
