September's Photo Contest is sponsored by VacuCam


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!

Yeah a couple of these photos realllllllly caught my eye, and I just have to laugh at the MINI in a cup, so cute!

24 really Wowed me, as did a couple of others. But I just had to pick 24 simply because I feel so at ease and relaxed when I see it, its almost beyond just a normal photo for me.

24 is a sunrise over Lake Michigan. It's not mine, but it looks like it was shot near where I live.

Wow, great month. My classes this semester are really beating me up, so I haven't picked up my camera once!

Favs so far:

9 is a great reflection at a fresh angle
14 is a good composition and a nice panorama size
17 is really clear and clever
18 sweet, I've never seen what they look like when they wash! good shot!
21 is just hilarious. It looks happy about it, too.
26 is a really nice mechanical shot. Nice lighting.

I'm going to wait to vote and see how things are going.

Good luck, everybody.
-Steve

I haven't done one of these in a three months, and the quality has certainly risen! I could hardly pick a favorite. In the end, I had to go for v-spoke/xlite/r-84 love. 19 for me, although I think 5 is the best all around picture.

18 every time I see it I have to look again. Always reminds me of something out of Star Wars. Something off of R2-D2. Great job everyone.

I should have cropped #26 a bit more so it could be shown larger. You can't get the full effect at that size. O well...

Lots of nice ones... Gunna be a hard choice. I must decide between 3, 5, 12, 14, 19, 22. All are exceptional.

Is it just me, or does #24 remind me of those old VW Beetle ads where they showed how it could float. (can't find the old ad photo I'm thinking of)

#11 - Who knew the leprechauns hid their pot of gold inside CR MCS? Would have thought it'd been inside a BRG Mini at least.

#12 looks straight out of the Italian Job movie set.

#21 made me laugh out loud. Wish it had a beach or grassy park or something else in the back ground to convey a hot summer day.

A lot of very nice photos here, well done everyone! Now I just have to pick only one.
