August Photo Contest Topic

This is the eighth installment of the monthly photo contest on NAM. We're trying to encourage members to go out and shoot *new* photos for the contest.


Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission instructions Only photos submitted to the contest gallery will be entered into the contest. Do not post your photos to this thread.


August's topic :: Shadows


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.

The winning photo will be run on the front page of NAM during the month of September.

Dang! This one's really going to be challenging!
It's gonna be tough to get away from the ubiquitous MINI profiles.
How one uses the profile should provide for some creative entries.

Here's a test shot of another idea for the "Wheels" contest (obviously incorporating a shadow), but couldn't get it to work. I was planning on using a couple of white holeys, with tires mounted, but it would've required a cherry picker to get the proper angle.


Looking back, I probably could've shot the shadow against a wall.

Busted

I can't promise Saturday, but definitely by Sunday morning I'll get the poll up. We have 31 days this month right?

Danget! Didn't have a chance to play enough to get a shot that I was satisfied with. I'm going to be poised and ready for September :D
