Yes, however if it straight up dark, no.@stb222 @Johnny Utah @rick81721 Are the pics taken around sunrise / sunset times with no sight of the sun counting as bonus points?
I gotta agree, that's a really good picture.One of your best sunrise pictures.
Yes, however if it straight up dark, no.
If the bonus competition comes down to a couple point difference and the no sun / sun rise / sun set point bonus contributed to the difference, that would be a valid dispute especially since the rules / criteria continue to shift during the bonus period.
wow - ok - thanks
I missed a bonus point yesterday at sunset then based on this. i was debating taking a citibike over to the hudson river to snap a sunset time pic and since it was so cloudy, i didn’t as it wouldn’t count.

couple things, it is on you that you decided not to take the picture from a citibike. If the rules were in question you could have taken and see what happened. If you were paying attention, @Soundguy has received the bonus when taking the picture without the sun, so that was an indication the sun didn’t need to be seen. In my quote above, I addressed that the horizon/sky needs to be in the picture.We have abandoned such requirement as it has proven to be too confusing. If it doesn’t look like the hour around sunrise/set, it will not be counted. It also needs to be of the horizon/sky.
Without the horizon/sky how else are we supposed to be able to judge the time of day? As previously pointed out the time of sunrise/sunset varies with your geographical location (this revolation blew the BIYF team away) so we cannot go off time.I was paying attention which is what prompted the clarification inquiry.
ok - so now there is another stipulation added “horizon / sky”
BONUS ALERT: 1-13 through 1-19 enjoy the sunrise/sunset bonus. Take a picture of either you in your riding gear or your bike on your qualifying ride during either sunset or sunrise with the aforementioned in the picture (including the sunset/sunrise) and enjoy a 1 point bonus. One point per day limit.
Quoted above is @Johnny Utah original, unedited bonus alert. It clearly says including the sunset/sunrise, which would requires the horizon/sky:I was paying attention which is what prompted the clarification inquiry.
