why cant we use photo's that we have on file? sometimes one takes a really great photo that no matter how hard you try you will never be able to better that photo...
I believe its because then some of us would be able to never actually leave our PC's and just go through the 1000's of images we have saved over the years. This at least forces us all to get up, get out, and use our camera's for a spur of the moment shoot and gives you something to think about while driving/walking/crawling around during the week

ok thats fine then, and are there any prizes? maybe a resident camera sales person could sponsor something like a memory card or something, only then make the contest monthly or the poor guy will go bankrupt...

This is not about prizes or anything of that nature..

Never has been and never will be...

Its purpose is to get us taking photos outside of our "normal" themes and subjects...

Does this count.. or is is it overboard for MYBB (If it is... I'm sure a mod will trash it, or let me know and I will delete it myself)

Yes it is my car, Yes I have permission from the model (its my wife) and Yes this image posted was taken today... with a catch of course. If its not OK, The "model" has said we can organise to do another shoot before Wednesday that might qualify, as I think those of you that know... would count this one out :rolleyes:

You have a brave wife I must say!

I personally dont have a problem with it, and I dont think it brakes the rules (although Im not too sure of them) since there is no real "nudity" if you wanna put it that way. The only reason I would say you might wanna do a reshoot is cause the lighting on that shot isnt the best and its not particularly sharp. But hey, lets see what the big guy, Bwana has to say

You're 100% correct on the lighting... This image was completely my wifes idea for this weeks entry, which is why I might have to disqualify myself as well... But also want to see what the pixel peepers find wrong with it before I admit why its so wrong :D

No worries Kalvaer... I reckon thats a passable attempt.... more than acceptable

Really wish we had an autocross event this weekend then I could have gotten a photo like the one below (NOT for judging as its about 6 months old)

Shhh about his wife :D..... Distracts from what Kalvaer tries to pass off as a "car" :p

The "car" does need a wash though.

She also happens to be a nuclear physicist, so maybe you should reconsider Fords... Then again I always said she may be the smartest person I know, But she doesn't have any comman sense or taste (she did marry me after all)

Lol.... I wouldn't let her see that post if I were you...

But yes, I do remember you mentioning she happening to be a Nuclear physicist..... smart... but not clever (the Ford thing is just telling if you ask me) :p.....

I'm just ragging you and your ride Kalvaer... you have a smart and gorgeous wife, and an acceptable vehicle.. life can't be THAT bad can it...
