Good entries so far!!! More snow in the forecast this weekend.... Excellent time to be plotting out a photo shoot.
since this month's theme filled up so quickly I am going to open it up to 15 entries... keep the photos coming... for those that have entered already you can enter more than just 1 photo.
Might as well make it Ben's Picture of the Month, this guy can read and take pictures! Little late, but here's my entries. It's hard to find nice spots to play during the day and take nice pictures...
Not trying to be rude, but I don't see how Ben's pics differ from some of the other, other than in quality. But not all of us are photographers. Is there something I'm missing in the rules? If so please fill me in.
Gotchya. Thanks. I guess I'm not exactly sure on how to do that. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. How can you tell the difference?
Sorry for the confusion, that rule is in there for viewing and posting ease. The others are the ones that we want to definitely adhere to for the contest to make it even and more streamlined. In regards to the other thing brought up... A high end camera can help, however, that is not all that is needed in taking a great shot. A little time editing or extra thought into angles go a LONG way. I see a lot of great shots and more thought this month! Keep them coming We have 10 entries so far, and this month was opened up to 15. 5 more to go with snow in the forecast!
At least there is more participation for COTM on here than on one of the other car forums that I frequent LOL! http://www.gmforum.com/your-ride-gm-pictures-videos-89/january-2013-cotm-voting-304523/
I hope i wasn't coming across as if i was saying or implying that. I appreciate the reading and following of rules and the car porn good sir!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.... Only a few more spots open and we already have some tough competition this month!!! Update in the original post for themes on upcoming months for those that haven't entered and are waiting on a certain theme later in the year!
That's 15.... Entries are closed!! Poll will be up later tonight! This will be a tough one this month.
We are working on being able to have more than 10 selections for the Poll. Right now the system is limited to 10 and we have 15 entries. The Poll will be up soon.
