Since you asked

>

Lil-Joe101 few days ago rang the bell when messaged me so I looked after many weeks here again (yea shame on me). In terms of calendar I found guys above asking about is. So here it is:

- I have no issues take control in this as previous years but only under the same rules (as before) = >>decent picture/pictures at minimum resolution 3508x2480 pixles>>
- Price assumption? I do not know... Not checked prices at all. Last year we got $16 shipped worldwide. The worst guess is +10% to last year price ($16-19 total?). Will make clear when we decide to go. >>Checked an confirmed: the same as last year $16 shipped worldwide>>
- Common issues we faced:

a) get 12+1 pictures (decent pictures... and talking about resolution!)
b) get enough interested people to buy it (estimated price is always based on some printed volume - when printed less price is going up)
c) get everything in time... you want it at home before end of the year? we must start immediately!

So what do you think? Calendar 2016 - to be or not to be?

folks we need to start collecting pictures! I will prepare calculation (exchange rate, postage fee, etc) and estimate timing... Give me one day.

note: it seems I can reach the same printing company as last year (just had call with them) but we need to have READY pictures for printing in 2 weeks max . Can we handle this timing?

This post has been edited by malpaso: Oct 22, 2015 - 8:23 AM

Question? Does it have to be a pic of the car? Or can it be the engine bay? Like someone swappin... Just to change it a bit lol.... Or someone autocrossing it. Or one running throught the mud. Not just any picture lol, but something different

Hopefully one of these can help you out

brilliant JFXtreme007! I wish I had similar set from everyone . With material like this I can make a lot of things .


I have checked we can stay on the same price as last year! Costs raised BUT exchange rate (USD/CZK) changed so it is still $16 delivered worldwide


Also I just let go first idea that came in my mind in terms of design:



not saying this is it... just sharing ideas .


And this is my addition:

Also I remember last year I dumped HectortheRican so now I'd glad to fix it (good cover picture IMO):

I think we did that with czwalga once.
Yeah I think itd be a good addition.
I have always wanted to take some nice shots of me working on the car but always end up working more than picture taking haha



I like that month design martin. just needs a more sleek typefont

I like that cover image as well. Just to help out I will try to throw out some cover image designs using that picture.

Will there be a photo Submission thread with voting, as there usually is? Wouldn't mind getting some photos in.

Tigawoods indeed . No focus in terms of font or any graphic details. Just let go idea to the paper as fast as I could with first picture . Will tweak it for sure.

jordisonjr... to be honest I would like to get 12 pictures. I do not care about process. You have 10days starting now . I hate this part because there always someone will be disappointed. My target is clear:

- 12 pictures
- minimum resolution 3508x2480 pixles
- well made (please no blurry mess)

And that's it. In case you will make me choose I have own opinion and rules (you saw them last year) what might not be sexy for everyone... please do selection instead of me this year.

>>So once again. 12 pictures... 10 days (better one week) to give chance to the people to see what they buying.>>

>>I have two weeks to collect payments>> (and meet deadline 8th November given by printing company= day when I need to know how many calendars will be printed and to pay for them)

So far I see 3 submitted cars. Please go on!

Here's a few shots of mine. The first one is actually a cell phone shot but it's higher res than my camera shots lol

>

but they must be 3508x2480 pixles or higher (with all respect. hotgt4's one do not seems to me it will be...)

owners of shots please share with me with them

I don't mind the design

And feel free to use those photos for whatever


>

Only problem with my monthly winner shot is the resolution isnt very good, so you could have me as August but choose the photo you had for the demo calendar shot instead

I'll also be down for 2 calendars (my dad wants one haha)

A few more suggestions.


Mine, but nothing special.






enderswift:




4-eyed-freek:

*snip*

malecrod:

*snip*

richee3 nice pictures (I like "the wall" one ).

I have feeling you do not understand people situation. Printing company will DENY to print pictures below 3508x2480 pixles. So yes it is nice having 12 candidates already (COTM winners) but if just single one has not picture in proper resolution we are lost and need replacement. That is why I say for years: "do you want COTM people = calendar people? make rules also related to quality of the source...". So yes. It is nice someone made nice accidental shot with his cellphone. It is COTM worthy... congratulations. But it doesn't mean it is also calendar worthy.

So lets start take this serous:

1. Tigawoods
2. kloudkicka
3. JaQb_CK
4. Chromed
5. hotgt4
6. Red123
7. blockustomz
8. DarkDeath
9. >>4-eyed-freek>>
10. >>JFXtreme>>
11. Bakuu0
12. RoadRage

if anyone of those will not deliver 3508x2480 pixles plus image in time (by the end of this month) will be replaced with anyone who will deliver proper picture to me. Listed so far:

- >>PegGTS>>
- >>richee3>>
- enderswift
- malecrod
- Hug0
- >>malpaso>>
- >>Rusty>>

In this moment I have in fact 5 sets in proper resolution. My one, PegGTS, richee3, Rusty (as decent replacements ready to go ) and JFXtreme with 4-eyed-freek (only two who will be on calendar for sure in this moment)

Please all interested people here confirm/check if you are listed in FS topic http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=96186

I understand the issue with the resolution. I also understand the time crunch so I'm just making suggestions and since we had used the COTM as a template in the past, I was just gathering all the photos in one place. My shots aren't anything special. I have the full resolution pictures saved on my computer and you know how Photobucket kills the quality. I wish I had more shots of more cars (and from different angles) but those are the best of the pictures I have that will meet the resolution criteria. I also realized earlier today that I need to ask permission of the owners before submitting pictures of their cars as candidates for the calendar so for now, I'm pulling my pictures down until the owners decide if they'd like their cars in the calendar.
