This is the 21st installment of the monthly photo contest
Sponsored by VacuCam

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

NOTE: 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).



The prize for this month will be a VacuCam Tow Hook camera mount. Although it's still being manufactured, it will be sent to the winner when its finished. (Minus the Camera and Red Tow Hook). Better pictures coming later, but it's compatible with any small video/still camera.


If that doesn't appeal to the winner, they can opt to receive a detailing DVD.

In either case, the Tow Hook mount is there to increase your shooting options or the DVD is there to help you maximize the shine on your MINI for the next photo shoot!

Thanks OctaneGuy!


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.

 

Great Topic

 

Thanks Dave for the quick posting of this month's topic before we take off for the holiday weekend.

Of course I have to wonder now that the reservoirs are at some of their lowest levels and things here are pretty dry nowadays... I like a challenge! And yes, I'll interpret the theme to my way of thinking. Ideas Kurt?

 

I'm thirsty.

 

Thought this appropriate

Water and this video

 

Bikini car wash.
You had to ask ME?

 

Speedo car wash.

 

I have been thinking about an artistic picture involving my wife, a white tank top, water and the MINI... and I wonder If this would be allowed.

This is an wonderful topic....so many possibilities..I can't wait to see what ppl submit.

 

Thanks, now that's a scary thought. Me in a speedo. Good grief, I think my car's paint is cracking.

 

Oops, never mind, was not Mini related. My bad

 

:( if only i had a mini! lots and lots of water coming from the sky lately!

wonder if i can come up with something...

 

One of the rejects:


I'm lousy at playing poker. My good shots have the flash highlighting raindrops. No luck including lightning.

 

I am not sure if my picture uploaded.... I got the message: "You do not have permission to view the images in this category. "

 

We can't view until Dave releases all of them at once.

 

Like this:

 

So, are they using the special grating at the bottom of that bucket to keep those wash mitts nice and clean? ...yeh, right!

 

I thought the rain/dew on the waxed hood was interesting.

I attempted a Juan shot, but it's lame. I better stick to portraits.

 

Whatcha talking about Kurt? I like the image.

The texture of the rocks on the ground and the water droplets along with the angles that of the water running off the car combined with the alignment of the car in the frame. It all works very well together.

 

I like it too, nice contrasts and the red is nice and vivid. Here's a couple I took at a friends car show couple of weeks ago. Too bad there weren't any Mini's there. Hopefully this weekend I can get some shots at the Brit show up here in the G.W.N. (great white north).

I like it Kurt, Good use of light.

I was just going to post that this thread has been very quiet....everyone must be out trying to get that wet shot.

 

Thanks everyone.
I've said it before.. I'm my worst critic. Beauty is in the eye's cupholder (or sumpin like that).

 

Well done Kurt. IMHO, Juan's shots tend to be tightly cropped fully eliminating all distractions. Always pleasing to the eye. You're getting very close...

Water, did someone say water???





Yes, you are correct to notice I'm milking my vacation photos for all they are worth.

 

Is that Paris and Nicole

 

Finally, they have jobs!

 

Now that is the best picture I have ever seen!
