ZHPMafia Photo Contest Sponsored by CobyWheel - Fall Themed

[danewilson77]

Theme is............................... Fall (the season)

~Prize will be awarded by CobyWheel and will include an Alcantara wrapped wheel and boot package. Core and shipping cost to return the core is the only cost the member will be responsible for.


What is that? Like $20? That's ridiculous for a package of this magnitude ($250-$300 value).

~Car is Required (Must be a BMW flavor).

~The photo must be YOUR work, created with YOUR car.

~Winner will be decided by Me, Mike of CobyWheel, the moderators (Keith, John) and the forum founder, Mark Handy of www.peerlessfineart.com.

~Only one entry per person.

~No "Comped" shots. Stitched shots are be fine as long as the car and scenery were at the same place at the same time.

~Best Coast.....get creative. Show us what you're made of.

~Beast Coast.....you've got it made, so I'm expecting perfection.

~Once the photo is submitted, the post cannot be edited. The photo needs to be your own creation, and needs to be created during the submission period (i.e. not a previous work, but a new creation)

~The only people that cannot enter are the judging members (above).

~The last day to enter will be December 1st @ 2400 PST.

Ready, set, shoot!!!!!!

Wish I still owned a ZHP, and wish I lived in an area where Fall existed... Good luck to the rest of you!

Side note, Mike, are you able/willing to do an alcantara wheel for an X5///M?

ZHP not required. ...though I'm sure you wished you still had one.

[JupiterBMW]

Oh no ZHP needed, that's good... Unfortunately I don't get home until the 20th anyway. And I still don't get Fall season. Maybe I can put something together.

Carry on, let's see some pics.

[NoVAphotog]

Now I'll bite.

Why?
I love the depth of field and color, I do not like the placement if the subject. Looks like they were overdoing the rule of thirds...

Question: can the photo be taken at night, if the fall theme is still present? :mwah

[Washburn]

If the winner has no interest in alcantara st wheel/boot, etc, and prefer to keep leather wheel :), what's the process? Is there an option to receive the prize in terms of $$ ?

[UdubBadger]

Probably just have to sell the voucher for the prizes I'd think, no?

[theothersawyer]

That would be my guess as well!

Oook please forgive my ignorance but, what is a "comped" shot? Filters and post editing?

[Oli77]

I guess that means no photoshoping your car into a scene.

[johnrando]

Not much fall color in SoCal. A few hours drive but I probably missed that showing. So, enjoy that you can have foliage that could make winning pix.

Yes correct. You can stitch multiple shots together of the same scene with different exposures but can't shoot your car in your garage and then bring in a photo of a barn and make it look like it was shot in the barn.

So much different down here in Tennessee. I have a few trees that are still green, then some with completely dead leaves and others with Autumn colors. Must say, the Fall season is much prettier up north.

I'm trying to think of locations to shoot. Any Walking Dead fans on here? They film it all within a 10 mile radius of my house. Thinking some of their filming locations may work as a good background for a shoot! Just need nice fall colors in the trees as well!

[Avetiso]

I wish I had more time to shoot something, although I doubt I could make a work as good as Seth or John, I'd love to try.

Here's to more time!

[az3579]

I went out on Saturday to take some pics. I had a really cool idea that I don't think anyone here is going to utilize for my photo, but I need a friend for that and our leaves are quickly falling, so because he didn't have time and we just lost an hour of daylight, I'm stuck with what I actually took.

Touched it up a bit; I'll post it when I get a chance to make final touches.

[Oli77]

^ It would be fun if we all had the same idea. I needed a friend too, or some wind ;).

[UdubBadger]

Yeah had that idea too.

Two hints.

Multiple exposures & 10 sec self timers

[az3579]

I don't even know why I'm bothering with all the photographic skill here. :facepalm

[UdubBadger]

Eh you never know. It's fun to participate anyway. I don't think anything is a lock in this group.

Main reason to participate, is because it's fun! It gives you an excuse to get out and shoot with a topic at hand!

Photographic skill doesn't necessarily guarantee being in the right place at the right time :) IMO, unless you have all the professional tools needed to compose a professional shot with you all the time, basic camera skill, an encouraging environment, a good eye, and some luck is all you need to surprise yourself and sometimes others!

You sound pretty confused Badger. I think you need a drink.

[theothersawyer]

I went out scouting locations and found nothing. No good scenery and no good color in the trees! The most color tree I found is the on in my front yard! haha I did end up taking pictures and didn't like any of them. I also had some technical difficulties with my camera! The shutter button decided not to work and then was working only sometimes! I was debating on upgrading my camera body anyways, so I guess now might be the time to do it!

Thanks, it was not even that clean. Could be this color, it hides dirt and imperfections very well.

I got ZHP mafia decals on both sides. I just drive on the right side of the road and stopped there. Shot several pics and that one came out of the point and shoot just like that.

I did miss the best lighting and should have probably turned the car around.

Thanks fellows.

i agree and have a love/hate relationship with my 135M's. they look 'right' on the car - almost better than any other wheel - but they are heavy heavy heavy! i am leaning towards some lightweight 17's in the spring. snows go on today...

I was thinking that if I can't find a nice spot to take pictures, then I will just take a picture of me tripping and FALLing in front of my car!

[johnrando]

LOL Seth!

In SoCal, it's when the temps change from 72 to 68. :) Of course, we can drive to the local mountains to visit fall, but it's a short lived season. In others words, not much chance at all for a fall photo contest without quite an effort. A little different for the northerners, with more mountain options and a bit longer season.

BTW, Julian has great fall colors, it's about 2 1/2 hours from me.

[UdubBadger]

Time for a road trip Rando ;)

[danewilson77]

I guess my point was, doesn't every state have all 4 seasons, but just different?

If you get creative with it, then it shouldn't matter if there is great fall foliage or not! That being said, I have still yet to get creative! School is consuming my life! :(

[bshovers]

I waited too long. No more leaves just snow lol.

Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing who can be creative.

Dane, we really don't have Fall in SoCal unless you drive to the hills/mountains which for many of us, are too far away just to take pictures. You'd really want to combine it with a trip for something else.

[OtterEffect]

I've got my entry. It's creative alright ;) but I am going to wait as long as possible before posting.

You should still be able to find some stuff. Besides, Fall in wisconsin and chicago is more snow than not snow lately lol.

[UdubBadger]

Lol I just meant I was getting egged on to not wait. Maybe D deleted it.

[danewilson77]

I see zero mention of leaves falling or of fall colors below. Just bringing that to everyone's attention.

Every state has a Fall, Winter, Spring, and summer.

In North America, Autumn (Fall) is usually considered to start with the September equinox[5] and end with the winter solstice (21 or 22 December).[6] In traditional East Asian solar term, autumn starts on or around 8 August and ends on or about 7 November. In Ireland, the Autumn (Fall) months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are September, October and November.[7] However, according to the Irish Calendar, which is based on ancient Gaelic traditions, Autumn ĺFall) lasts throughout the months of August, September and October, or possibly a few days later, depending on tradition. In Australia and New Zealand, Autumn (Fall) officially begins on 1 March and ends on 31 May.[8]

September 5th through December 21st/22nd in North America = the Fall season where you are located no matter what the climate/weather it is considered Fall. Right :dunno

[johnrando]

Gotcha Dane.

That wheel/tire combo looks meaty as hell!

[johnrando]

That's your car? Wow. Love the beefy tire/wheel combo and the overall aggressive look.

Yeah, that's a cool machine. Unfortunately the cars for the contest have to be yours. Love the idea of a LB fall though! :)

Didn't work however you did it. I'd export the photo as a jpg and just attach it directly

Click the share button (curved arrow) and then get the BBCode for medium or large and copy it into the reply.

Good luck matt , can't seem to find shit

Mmmm, like I do! Hdr?

[Johnmadd]

The white line distracts me though.

[JupiterBMW]

Wow, incredible pics everyone. I'd love to find some time to clean up the X and get a few shots. I'd have to be really creative to get "Fall colors" in Florida, but perhaps I will see what I can do...

[UdubBadger]

Great sunset shot

[stephenkirsh]

The white line distracts me though.

I think the car would be lost without the lines.

[Fenrir]

Hmm... I need to get a pic in but "fall" is hard to find here in the desert. Gonna head into the mountains this weekend and see if I can find a nice shot.

[OtterEffect]

Very nice submissions! Keep 'em coming!

[ELCID86]

Here's mine from the Skyline Drive drive.

[JupiterBMW]

Going to a CCA Cars n Coffee in the morning, the first event for the X. I will take some sort of pics either before, there, or after!! Submission coming soon!

[theothersawyer]

I believe I have found the location of my shoot, but I didn't have my camera with me, so now I need to go back with the my camera!

[rguti153]

I would post soon not the greatest spot . But will contribute as I know some shots in here are stunning

[SoDelBMW]

How many submissions are there I lost count?

[UdubBadger]

13-14 I think. All posted on zhpmafiadotcom IG account

[fredo]

I don't have an ID in IG. Can I still look at the pics posted by zhpmafiadotcom ?

[danewilson77]

14 total.

[SoDelBMW]

And out of 2200 members only 14! Thats crazy.

[danewilson77]

Yeah....most of those aren't regulars but I'd be surprised if there were fewer than 25 entries. Seems crazy that one wouldn't want a shot at a CobyWheel.
