Vote NOW! June 2011 Picture of the Month (POTM)

mfanatic325 · 06-02-2011, 08:56 AM

I'm 13 hours ahead here in China, so I totally thought it was over. Then when I opened Zpost the next morning, I was up by 2. Said to myself, "wtf? How in the hell?"
But I'm not complaining about the outcome

Honestly, I think we need more people to participate. Both entries and voters. And is it possible to make it so that results aren't posted until the end? Or can we please enforce IP addresses etc.? Or limit votes from random forum members?

^damn it mfan u always win!

the photo comp over on z4-forum is pretty neat too. they have closed polls where no one is able to see the results until the poll expires. march was a stellar month of submissions - http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26286.

I know. I still feel kinda crappy though...

But ya'll know I deeply

all of the frequent Zposters, and then some

sounds like a good reason to go back to the track WITH A CAMERA...IDK maybe...corkscrew...is there anyway to have one of your friends get a shot of that? that would make a good cover! lol

You mean like my May entry/submission? I'd hafta get my photog friends out there with me to the track though lol. And they're more of like still-life shooters as opposed to action shooters, so iono if it'd even turn out well

Bimmerpost doesn't give me much flexibility. The only thing I can do is the opposite which shows everybody's votes, as in displays who voted for who.

oh wow...don't know how i didn't remember that. you and charles (cmark) both had pics!

Finnegan · 06-07-2011, 04:28 PM

We need to get Rick F. to submit a shot too! His HDR photos are pretty amazing.

I feel that there are A TON of nicer photos out there that people just aren't submitting. We need more participation, most definitely

mfanatic325 · 06-07-2011, 07:29 PM

haha just bad luck. Keep trying!!
Dubbed was the one that got me to even submit my very first photo. I was more than reluctant prior to his convincing

r4gs · 06-07-2011, 07:38 PM

i agree that there are a fair number of amazing photos posted on the board that aren't submitted for poll every month, which isn't a big deal really since all of us still get to enjoy them regardless. like i'd mentioned before, it gets me out and about in my car taking photos of it when i otherwise wouldn't bother.

007MCoupe · 06-08-2011, 08:58 AM

Yeah! I think if Rick F submitted one of his photos from his most recent trip, he'd win for sure.

SN: Do I get anything for not having a single vote?

mfanatic325 · 06-08-2011, 09:19 AM

you get a

from me

Jbs · 06-08-2011, 12:48 PM

I would enter too, but I always miss the initial threads

mfanatic325 · 06-08-2011, 07:20 PM

^ Yeah John has some e-mazing pix
