how about the people who's photos won for last year submit theres again, as this is an open forum the public changes and thus a new majority can result, last years pictures were great and I hope there up again to be voted on but keep in mind what won last year may not win this year. just the way it is. (my opinion)

<== will wait on final aproval before sending anything in but glad someone stepped up to get this going.

Please don't flame me for return to resolution issue again... however I don't agree with opinion "high resolution is only 3072x2304 because I have 10Mpx camera". IMHO calendar is not about "only high-tech-top-ultra-best camera owners can send pics". Many people here can make beautiful pics with "normal" camera at "normal" resolution. I have good camera however I usually make pics like 1280x960 (95%), sometimes 1600x1200 (4%) and only special occasions 2288x1712 (1%). Higher is for nothing because I don't want to make posters...

so... can we give reasonable minimum picture resolution for all 6GC members?


The bigger the image the better the quality when converted to 2-300 dpi for printing. I'd like it to look professional if i'm buying it.

so we need to know how big that image we want after printing... here are some numbers (about):

200dpi 15x10 cm (6x4.5inch) print = 1200x900 image
300dpi 15x10 cm (6x4.5inch) print = 1800x1350 image
200dpi 20x15 cm (8x6inch) print = 1600x1200 image
300dpi 20x15 cm (8x6inch) print = 2400x1800 image
200dpi 25x20 cm (10x7.5inch) print = 2000x1500 image
300dpi 25x20 cm (10x7.5inch) print = 3000x2250 image
etc...


No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________

agreed. the winning pics last year were great. but the bar has been raised cuz i have seen some awesome pics this year too. so i say last year's pics should automatically be entered in the final decision poll, and if they win again then great.

and i can do 15-25 bucks. i'll even add a couple bucks to help chip in for the site like the last calendar.

To me it wouldn't matter that last years pics would be entered again since I haven't bought any of the previouse calenders, but I know that if I did, I wouldn't necessarily want to see the same pics as before, you know?

If it were the same car and a different (better) shot, then mabey, but not the same one. (progression)

Coming from a professional standpoint (I'm a graphic designer now for 13 years) the images must be 300 dpi for print to look polished and professional. For an 8.5 x 11 print size with a full bleed, 3300x2550 is going to have the best results. Remember, the image has to be able to reach 1/8" past the edge of the document area for the bleed.

This doesn't exclude smaller images, mind you. Not all of the images need to be a full bleed - they can always be placed "widescreen" style, with a black matte top and bottom, etc. Also, if the TOTAL calendar size is 8.5 x 11, then is the art just going on the top half of the page? That means the images will be 8.5 x 5 (ish), allowing for the binding. That opens it up even more!

The calenders will be binded with the picture on the upper page
calendar on the lower page.
(pictures will be the back side of the actual calender page if that makes sense)

look like this

as an example picture is top page

Calendars will be 11x17 saddle stitched.

As far as auto-selecting last years photos for 6 months - I think its a poor idea. People will be left out to begin with so those should just be entered in the running to begin with and if they make the second cut - they are in. Entirely up to the owner whether he/she wants to re-enter last years photos vs. entering new photos.

3300x2550 is a very large picture not many people have access to cameras that can take it. I think my Rebel takes about that size max and it was a $1,000 so this should not be the limit on pictures. I think Coomer should give his 2 cents since he was in charge of photos every other time.

The listed sizes are not specifically required.
I only ask for the LARGEST SIZE that YOU can produce.
so PLEASE send in anything you have that you want submitted.
i have already received a good handful, thank you to those who have submitted thus far!

NOBODY is automatically selected...if you want someone from last year, then it needs to be submitted with everyone elses photographs.

thank you

Sounds like I'll have to go take some more pictures of the celica.

Is there a limit on how many we can submit to you? Can we play with the pictures in photoshop at all or is that prohibited?

Why are people submitting more than one?

If someones 5 pictures are going to make it to voting there is literally going to be 100 pictures to choose from...

Should only be allowed to submit one picture.

I dont think its a good idea to re-vote on pics that already won for the 2007 calendar. Kinda strange lol Just start over new for 2008.

Hey if someone has the winning pics from last year would u email them to me? amysmojo@gmail.com I wouldnt mind putting it together myself & getting at least 1 printed... I know the year is almost over but I like to keep them. (I still have 2005 & 2006) so I was really hoping to add the 2007 to that collection...biggrin.gif

So if anyone has the winning pics let me know!! thanks smile.gif

ill submit this

i should have the original high-res file somewhere...
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Yeah Amy thatd be great if you would put together the winners from 2007. It doesnt have to be anything special. it could still be a 2007 calendar for all I care so then I could have 2005, 2006 and then 2007 of my car. Which would be really special since the car is now out of my hands.

correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there requirements before on being allowed to submit for the calender? I seem to remember a 5 blue square post minimum? (did that really happen?) Just curious...

And is there any requirements now for one? (other than the quality/size of the pic)


Cuz if there isn't any forum requirements, I guess I'm gonna have to get crackin on some high quality shots..

HAAAAAAA, not funny. I did read the first post all the way up to your's.

People make mistakes and I didn't know if any other requirements were left out. I was pretty positive that post count was a requirement before and didn't know if it was going to be thrown in this time 'round.
