POTM - January 2017

[sevenfourate]

Afternoon everyone......

We are pleased to announce the start of the first of this years 'Photo of the Month' competitions !

The theme for this month is simply: REFLECTIONS

Hopefully once again: this leaves a wide scope for your own creativity; whether that includes water, windows, buildings, something else ubber-shiny, seeing you car in another light etc....and all these with huge array of interesting or unique back-drops out there. Or of course an idea of your very own !

nius02 was last month's worthy winner - who can steal that well-earned crown from him ?

Entries are welcomed up until 6pm on Sunday 29th January when the voting will be opened.

The Winner will be announced on the evening of Tuesday the 31st of January.

Please post your entries into this thread, or alternatively PM it to either @sevenfourate or @Jimmy , and one of us will then post it for you if you are unable to yourself for any reason.

Good luck to all and happy snapping !

Good luck all

This is were I stand aside unless I can use an old pic

 

[Jimmy]

I suppose in the spirit of competition, a fresh pic is preferable, however there's nothing in the 'rules' that say you can't use an old photo...

White Jimmy is not the best colour

 

[sevenfourate]

Not entirely my choice (And not strictly in the rules either: as Jimmy says) - but i'd personally prefer "fresh" pictures.

The whole topic is designed to show of your skills with a camera for sure, but also for us all to see new pictures, fresh ideas and to promote us all getting off our butts and driving these fabulous cars to new spots !

Couldn't have put it better myself! While we wouldn't exclude old photos from the comp (mainly cos we can't prove when they were taken ) the idea is that we get out there and capture the moment using the theme that we've been given that month!

Plenty of scope though Kev - the photo could be a reflection of your car in say a large window, puddle, other car etc

Spot on !

Infact: get "Detailing Dale" aka @Dystant to drive to yours Kev and you can "bounce" a picture of yours off his shiny panels and call it a joint entry !

It's just needs painting

"Detailing Dale"

So very, very tempted to use and change his avatar to say this

 

[Micah]

Gives me an excuse to clean the car this month I suppose!

That's actually cheating.

That's actually cheating.

Nothing in the rules saying Pirates can't enter...

This would actually be hilarious

Well seeing as you asked nicely...

Nick - did you say you were an ex 'Pro' Photographer or similar ?
I remember you mentioning a brand new Camera too.
Your car's going to be re-painted and buffed within an inch of his life.....
And your coming out with "fighting talk" !


No pressure for an amazing shot then

Brilliant !!!

Maybe Dale could have his own section and be the resident "Agony Aunt" where we all write in with our problems.........

Just as long as we make clear that it's detailing problems that he's going to solve, otherwise his inbox could get very 'Embarrassing Bodies'.....
