July will be the 43rd NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 25th of this month.

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.

 

Leaves me out, unless stripes on the pavement count.

 

Stripe:

(Just giving some ideas...)

 

"Be creative!"

 

Think Bill Murray or zebras.

 

I would love to see a real photo (aka non-photoshopped) of a MINI and a herd of zebras. Bonus points if the MINI is in the middle of the herd.

 

Better yet, why not a zebra among a herd of MINIs.

That was my second idea.

 

Like this one, I'm not going to use this, because my first idea is better.

 

Here's one from a while back~

 

I know we have plentiful vacant backroads in the SF Bay Area, but seeing this just makes me cringe! The motorcycles come in the opposite direction pretty fast!

 

Not to mention those Pickups SUVs campers, construction trucks and Semis that lurk behind the switchbacks

BTW- Already watched clean up of one bike going down on twisty road runs, and a few other VERY near misses.


Actually have a plan for this month, hoping I'll be able to execute it soon!

 

That sport was carefully chosen so you could see if something was coming, he's only straddling the line for artistic effect. There was also a spotter (me with the camera) who could see and hear even further. The driver was carefully instructed only to do that if they were absolutely sure it was safe.

 

Just to share ......

This was from a while ago.

 

I am going to HAVE to take some new photos ...
But here is a teaser ...

 

Ahhhh! My eyes... they're burning!

Too


Much


Saturation!

 

Love it!
Yellow car, yellow stripes, etc.... Great picture.

I think I may participate in this months contest.

 

Ok, I'm in this month. (Least as long as Dave can see it but thats usually issue free)

Just a reminder so nobody is stuck missing the deadline I like did last month.

 

I tried some of my other ideas this afternoon. I got a really good one, but these didn't work so well. They probably require some explanation, and I've got 2 better ones I can't decide between, so I'm not going to use these.

This one's actually an Oxford college scarf:



Or this might need to explain the Dr Who reference:

 

A penguin that went to Oxford College vacationing in Australia?

 

Bump! Deadline's at noon Pacific time.

 

well i think i missed the deadline but wanted everyone to see my picture anyway . This is straight from the camera... no photo editing

 

Still have an hour and 7min to submit it!

 

well i tried but got the "You do not have permission to view the images in this category." message. i guess it submitted.
