This is the 24th installment of the monthly photo contest

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is the 24th of this month (Christmas Eve).

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).



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 almost asked for a topic, just so I'd have an excuse to go out and take photos. This should be a tough one with a black MINI, time to start thinking out of the box. hmmmmm

 

Royal Grey is kinda green right?

I only do black and white, guess I am gonna have to think about this one hard and heavy

 

Chili Red and... hmmm. At least I'm halfway there!

 

Now that I finally have time off from work this month I may be able to try for it. I actually have a few ideas already and think this topic is kind of easy... Now I just gotta pull off a really good pic before I put the MINI away for the winter.

Severely lacking ideas this month....

 

I'm in...Good Luck to everyone & Happy Holidays!

 

Does it include the Northern lights? Was up in WI earlier this week, had I been able to stop I'd have had an awsome photo, but still near zilch on ideas other wise.

 

Nah...I missed that...D'oh!

 

I got one!!! but i'll have to shoot it tonight... hope i wont be late

 

No, still 5-6 days left. I know you got red, wonder what the green is

 

Is It just me... when I try to upload the optionin the box is Member Gallery Travel stories or... October Photo Contest. Hmmm.

 

Fixed. It should read December Photo Contest :: Red and Green now.

 

This is all I can come up with.

 

ok,, i did it!!! im in the running this month whoohooo

 

I entered just to boost the number of entries.

And it's not the above photo.

 

Any last minute ideas? I'm headin out in a bit, if I'm going to get a shot this moth I'd better hurry up.

 

Well I'm in. this was more a submission of principle than a decent photo though:impatient

Dave, this question may need its own thread but for the past few months I've been wondering if it would be possible to get the topic sometime during the voting process, I tend to lack "themes" to shoot for a week and it would give us a little closer to a full month to get the shots. I know you've mentioned before you don't like to release the topic until the day after the winner is announced as to to steal the spolight, just though this might be another way of going about it.

Or you could send me some of the topic suggestions that didn't make the cut so I know where to poin the camera

It's just a humble subission to the idea box.

I did this as well, can't wait to see the other entries. I admit mine was rather "cheezy".

Happy Holidays everyone !

 

This wouldn't have anyhting to do wiht the Cheese store I passed up in WI last night?

I don't recall any red or green from you previous cheese thread, this shold be interesting.

Mine was a little forced but would probably sit better in a spy movie I'd have loed to get some of the auroras though oh well.

 

Did you pass the "cheese castle" near Kenosha?

No cheese was injured in the making of my picture...Darn...could have used that chunk of green cheese I found in the fridge the other day.

Still havent seen any auroras here in the SW corner of Wisc. Think I'm too close to the city lights anyway.

 

oh I need directions now found a cheese hall of fame type thing over in Lake Geneva though. (My excuse for the motoring was I knew I wouldn't be driving Pearl til tues and wanted to avoid engine cheeseI was seeing them a few weeks ago I got a faint glimpse here in IL, iffy all the way up past Elkhorn and saw some vivid (Brighter than the moon and just dazziling best I'd ever seen) ones just south of Madison, but no photo . I've seen recent posts on other forums from people in IA, but it seemed like a one night occurance. Just PSed some into a shot from Kenosha last night. I found a few sweet spots I need to get out to during the day.

 

From Chi-Town, straight up 94 towards Milw. The Cheese Castle is on your left. I think it's made of cheese like the moon mmmmmm cheese...

I'll post up a new topic earlier for January, not sure when though because first I need to come up with it.
