Default Photo of the Month Night Shots?

as I finally took great looking pictures in the night (imo ), I'm asking you guys (especially TT), if it's possible to make atleast one contest with night shots only I think it's not so hard take some night shots anytime, just get out at 7pm and look around your "secret car places"

what you CarSighters think about it?

cheers

sounds alright, but how does it work? Does the photo have to be taken during that particular month or do we submit any night shot?

7pm????? More like 8:30-9pm around here.

^^^ you brought my idea to the PERFECT :good:

yes, that would be great - every month different contest, no matter, if your picture was taken 3 months ago because of limited rules...

let's wait for TT's thoughts

I am for Ladas then as Phobo suggests

Great idea, night shots are excelent and you MIHALS are getting better and better. I mean night carsights ofcourse

Enzo or F40 night shot would rock just only cause it will be almost impossible to do

Uhm, the idea isn't bad in fact, BUT we have to consider the fact not everybody has good cameras to take night pics.. not everybody has a tripod, not everybody can hunt for a particular kind of picture and so on...
Also, to be honest, I like the concept of taking one picture between the ones submitted during the previous month because this way ppl won't end up submitting more pics of the same car in the same place, from the same event and so on.. I would myself use like 15 Miura pics from the last meeting if I was allowed to pick any picture from my collection

Anyway, I'll think about it some more

its not a bad idea... but sometimes night shots dont look like it; i've found out... depending on lighting of the area.

i'll be uploading such pictures soon.

also; i'm with TT there. i the night shot looks great, and is entered in POTM; then it might win...

if a lot of people suddenly go rouge on tt, and tell him to use a cirtain night shot... well, i think that is more the way to do it... an official unofficial meathod... so others still get thier opertunity

sounds like a great idea, but maybe we should leave POTM by it self and have something seperate.. although it would be nice to see your own pic on the front page.

We should all post/submit our pics here and then open up a new topic where we can vote..

Now these night shots have to include cars right? I have a bunch from South Beach over the weekend..


Here's a little sample of my pics, and what I would submit for this "contest"

Be careful, we don't want any members in jail over the POTM.
