Post your calander pics here

if these pics will be used for judging i'll drive to the park and snap some better ones that arent on the side of the road

 

Okay heres another

 

Forgot the technical stuff owner is Mike Harrison car is 72 Maverick and its name is 38 Special.

It is the 38th Maverick-Comet that has been in my driveway

 

You NEED a Comrick in this calender- 1976 Mercury Comet- er i mean Comrick (The Choc Rock). Don't ask.

 

In my opinion I see 12 pics that are good. 1 is in a signature tho. Just my opinion... all are special but not all look like they are proud pics.
This is a special occurance, you should show your best angles and not your neighbors house and vehicles... maybe some standards could be had...?
Put it this way, if you want my vote, take a pic of just your car with a thought out back ground. When the board has chosen your car, the pics you submit will be displayed for all to see. Let's make a great calender! Let's set the bar for next year.
John has made the best so far and I don't think a first timer can do the same, but your pic CAN make a difference.

 

I'm shooting some new ones this weekend with the help of a friend.... we'll see what happens

 

Also...we have to resize (reduce) our pics to upload to this board so any pics selected will have to be emailed in their full resolution to the person that will be sending them to the calendar maker.

 

i'll shoot new ones in a week or so

 

Yeah, same here. I needed motivation to do this anyway, 'cause I'm not crazy about the pics I have. They looked better in person, but it's like the camera adds an extra ten pounds of ghetto to that carwash parking lot.

 

Yeah, I agree - the background can make all the difference in the world. It doesn't have to be outrageous though. Lakes, parks, etc make for great backgrounds.

 

Here is some nice tips

Hey, my signiture pics are good and there action pics ,im going keep them as my entry and if there not good enough when voting comes up ,oh well. To do a perfect Calendar you would need a 10 or 12 megapixel with 5 x zoom lence and a good photagraphy. I only started this now cuz its time ,if there done now we will have calendars by Dec 1st ,last year people started talking calendars in Nov.

 

Did you ever notice that John Ford's calendars had a 13th month?

Photo quality
8 x 10 - 4 Megapixel
11 x 14 - 6 Megapixel

 

maverick1970, i agree ,i said in a earlier post that a 5 megapixel is perfect ,the calendar photo has to be about 8 x11,unless you go to a jumbo calendar for more money.
