July Photo Contest Topic

This topic is being posted a few days early. Do not submit photos until July 1. Any photos submitted prior to July 1 will be deleted.

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

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).


July topic :: Under the stars
note to a certain someone on 89A... while it is a star, when the Sun is dipping below the horizon, it seems hard to justify that as being "under the stars"

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.

Thanks for getting the topic posted early Dave! Also thanks for getting rid of the "auto image resize" for this month's contest.

KISS DIY cheap long exposure mode refresher in case you missed it previously (kudos to Dave B. for this tip)

I think any 4th of July fireworks above your MINI/Mini would be a shoe-in.

Does this qualify?


Paul Bunyan was a star at one time, and the stars he is holding are over the car.
Hello?

Hello?
I think you used an image editor to add the stars, RULE INFRACTION! Kurt is to serve a 1 year suspension, check him for steroids while we're at it!.

I've been digging through your trash, all those charges to 'Balco' seemed a little suspicious.

That's 'BrakeCo' for the carbon neutral brake disk kit and greeny brake pads.

I've entered the photo, but I guess it won't show up until all the photo's are posted.
Always a lot of talent to compete against.
