September Photo Contest Topic

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

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).


September topic :: Water
sunsets can be reflected in water

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.

Hasn't this been a subject before? Yea, I entered a rainbow shot. Fortunately, we have had some rain, so there's a chance.
Warning: on Flickr, the sunset reflecting off water shots get much more attention than other shots.

Some inspiration:

This ain't gonna be so easy.

I was not around then.. so it's a "new" topic to me.

Besides, I think davey won that month so it doesn't count.. (edit: Nevermind.. I did a search and it was someone else that won)

Oh and since I help with the topics.. let me just tell you that it was between "Water" and "Chocolate-covered MINI." The latter topic would not have been easy to do.

Since the Forest Service has a controlled burn going that makes it look like LA, and our creeks are dry and lakes are low, I attempted something different (for me) by washing Swifty. Had to be carefull where I aimed the hose!

How about something that's a bit easier to come by this season and an antonym of water.
October topic :: Dirt
... has a very nice ring to it.
Anything but "Fall Colors" please.

Speednut, I will take your suggestion into consideration.

(That will probably be the topic that we end up using cuz neither one of us had time to think of a topic for next month.. )
