I think it looks pretty cool. It's not too flashy and it shows support for BMW's racing teams. Besides, with everyone having the M logos that show up with all the M sport packages, this is a unique and tasteful way of separating from the crowd. I'd do it with the 330i, but it wouldn't work on a silver car (don't need it on the M3, it gets enough attention).

I say +1 for that.

This is just a thought on the extra points that have been posted in the past months. It was not in the original rules, but there have been changes to the game since day one to improve the game.

PAMidge was soooo close but no extra point given, as in a barn was part of the original challenge.

My Question is should we let the extra points continue, or not, as some extra points that have been proposed are rather OFF the charts so to speak. Should we let the extra point(s) be a part of the game going forward?

My thought is an extra point is fine if it is REAL difficult to get, but we never had an adjustment to the points given that I have seen at this time.

Thoughts going forward?

i dont think anyone has been adding additional points, but im not sure. i think its just fun putting it in there, but i dont think there should be extra points awarded ie.1000000000 points for red e92 lol

Very true, as there has been none completed at this time with extra points. Just doing some troubleshooting in advance to avoid a post with something like two or three extra points if........

I did a night shoot with no photography skills at the top of a parking ramp tonight, and all I got was a glare of the angel eyes. The city pics. looked fine without my angel eyes in the pic. A few walking dead/drunk/crackheads tonight at my shoot found it amusing though...

A dump in Upstate NY - not the City. The West Hamptons which I joke about...

Let us see what the other players input is on the point system, as most should be sleeping now except Panicos. I guess it is about 10:30am his time so he may be just be getting up or not............

I'm not one for extra points to be actually calculated into the final scores, but supportive for 'extra credit/attention' amongst us players. Then again, it's a decent idea. I'll just wait and see what others have in mind.

I know someone will do the AE shot before I get to it. =]

regarding the extra points i dont think we should have them, nobody counts them anyway.. its just extra respect for completing a challenge good. btw i'm going for the industrial pic in a couple of hours when the sun starts to go down to have good light..







btw it wasnt my idea, based on the lumma e90

sooo.. i was thinking of something industrial to shoot.. first i went to the "larnaca industria area" to find a cool looking factor. i've searched and i've searched but nothing.. on the distance though i could see those beautiful wind powered electricity generators (dont know their official name ) and decided to drive there.. it was a nightmare, 19" rims and pirelli pzero should not go offroading!! it was a bumpy dirt road trying to go up the mountain to get a good shot of those things.. anw i felt sorry for the car and didnt go all the way in fear of not hitting anything underneath, so i found a spot and took some shots..

i have no idea on how to edit a B&W shot as pams requested so here is what i got without any editing.

also i dont know if they are considered industrial but here is the pic anw since i got into trouble in getting it

Darn you Panicos! I was just getting my pics ready and you beat me to it!

Here they are anyways since I went to the trouble of getting them. My AE's are on, but they are not that bright. This is a steel mill in the area, a very industrial area.......I took a bunch of pics, here are a couple.

panicos's shot is pretty, but I think bajan's captures the challenge more accurately.

Panicos, although he has enough points, is the winner.

Although the 2nd pic is a little bit more industrial, you really can't see the angel eyes lit up.

Panicos FTW

Nice new challenge. I'll see if I want to leave the house.

May want to specify Analog, otherwise we'll get a picture at some bank's outdoor digital clock
