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

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.

Special Note: all photos must have a diecast model of a MINI and/or Mini in them.

 

I've been thinking of a picture like this for awhile, great timing to make this the topic, now if only I had a good camera.

 

ohhh, sweet, I have 5 mini diecast, 2 classics, and 3 MINIs. this could be fun

 

Some of my best were done with a disposable.

 

Can you expand diecast to include R/C cars?

 

Why not take a shoebox and make a pinhole camera!

J/C

 

You first Juan, we all need a competitive advantage from you if you can enter this month. (remembering a certain very cool contest entry with CR die-cast Minis in a chili pepper pot )

Thanks for posting the topic early Dave! I've got some good ideas I need to try and rig up. I hope this topic will result in more entries this month since cruddy weather isn't necessarly a factor.

Rerun, but very helpful for this month's contest:
super simple $10 or less DIY photo studio. Works for ALL cameras, no excuses anyone.

 

Anybody got a LensBaby they wanna lend me?

 

You know I wanted to do the same thing (almost) but then my idea was thrown out the window by that annoying special note.:impatient

So I'm not able to intrepret it as much as usual.

Back to the drawing board for ideas.

 

D'oh! The "special note" ain't so special, now that I've read it.

I guess I'll have to dig up the diecast MINI that I buried upside-down in the backyard for motoring luck.

 

...and plastic model kits?

Do you want to open that can of worms? This is a diorama.

Lucky again, hoping to swing getting a new camera, anything. Mmmm... I should shoot a roll of film through the old 35mm, get scanned during developing. Mmmmm.....




Naw.

 

Kurt, great image!
Hmm...diecast...I might submit my 1st entry for this one.

 

I think i may be back from my hiatus for this one... Missed this site, I am just constantly on the local boards....

 

Took some pics tonight, see how things turn out!

 

One of many different angles taken tonight.

Just entered the "good enough" shot.

 

Great, thanks ALOT dude, I finally "enter" a pic and now you've pretty much confirmed that I won't even get MY vote

 

Aw comeon! Nobody ever votes for mine, now especially Swifty is an "old school" MINI. But thanks for the vote of confidence.

How many entries so far Dave?

 

Sweet, Kurt's back with a new camera! Great photo BTW.

I hope to still give you a run for the money this month, but we'll just have to see. Wife's in overtime for baby delivery, but at least is comfortable and happy. I just hope the ND filters arrived so I can take the contest photo this weekend. FWIW, my die-cast Mini is a "Swifty" clone (will it help or hinder? ).

 

I'm hoping to get my 1st ever vote in this month's contest.
With the new camera, no less!

 

Thanks! And I had to budget for $200, so I'm happy with the results.

Wanna trade?

 

I'm in; just went for "simplicity" this month.

 

Here's one that I almost used but decided to try something else.

 

How did you get the "smoke" off the tires and the appearance of the front L wheel spinning? Very slick

I still can't decide which picture of mine to submit .

I'm very excited to see the various submissions this month!

 

The photo program (not Adobe's program) has an airbrush feature, and blur similar to a brush. I think this topic begs for photo manipulation. How much is allowed is a guess.

 

Kurt, you're awesome!
