Gday all,

Being the first of June, submissions for the 2010 forum calendar are now open!

"Entries close August 16th!".

Any updates to this thread that affect submissions or information regarding the calendar will be updated by MODs to this post for easy tracking.



Submission requirements

• Image Quality - Please ONLY submit images that have a high image quality. Images from mobile phones and low quality cameras can't be accepted as they will not print well.
  
• Image Size - Please again ONLY submit images which have an original file size of at least 3000x2000 pixels (thats a 6mega pixel camera) and are in landscape (horizontal) format.
  
• No. of Images - To keep things tidy, can each owner only submit a maximum of 4 images of each car.
  
• Posting Images - When posting your images, please resize them to roughly 800x533 pixels so the thread can remain viewable for low bandwidth users. Images must be unedited within reason
• Important Information - Any image submitted MUST be authorised for use in a comercial environment. Images taken by third parties must be approved before they can be used. All rights must be waivered for use in the calendar.
• Images submitted must be of an individual car, group shots can't be used.
• Submissions are open to Australian registered cars only.

Note: Once submissions close, a RAW (un-modified) version of the images submitted must be sent or emailed for inclusion in the final selection process. Images may be edited once submitted as seen fit for use in the calendar.

Cheers, Andrew

 

To start the ball rolling, here are four images I'd like to submit.


For those interested and don't already know, I offer an automotive photography service, So if anyone is interested in getting some great photos for the calendar or simply for personal use please let me know!










Now who's next?

 

Mine are on

Their way to you Andrew, you should receive them today.

 

Is this open to all aus300zx members or only those physically located in Australia?

 

I'm in !!!

Cheers,

Peter

 

ill be sure to take some no night shots? I might have one with fully sick neons

 

im going blind.. where did he say "no night shots"?

 

What if your Z is shit and you'd rather submit photos of other members cars?

Nothing wrong with night shots, as long as you can get good exposure.

 

This one would be too dark to print well.

 

It's meant to be dark.
Really? Oh well, no biggy.

 

Good question.....

Does it matter if the zed is known to be shit, but you can turn out a good photo?

How about Photochops to cover stone chips?

 

Yeah, I know but dark colours come up differently on screen and printed, remember that a screen actually produces light on anything less that 100% pure black (and sometimes even then).

The side of the car would all be basically pure black if you printed it unless your printing process had weak blacks in the first place.

Go into photoshop, bring up the 'info' display and hover the mouse over the darker areas of an image. Look at the RGB values, anything around 30, 30, 30 or below will print black or very close to it in most printing processes.

Hope that helps

 

Thanks for that.


Rough idea on a dead line? Going to consider repraying my car so I can submit it. Just need another car, a place to spray (Looks to Nasty Girl) and a week off work haha.

As you can see, she don't look real flash . Going for brighter colours this time around.

 

i suggest you re - read the first post mate.
and obviously lol it wouldnt. vic zedders vote for their favourite pics, so if its good you will be in

images look great of your car andrew.
not going to bother to submit mine, no real good shots and i dont think i have a good enough camera to get some.

all the best though.

kindest regards.
rod.

 

Andrew do you want me to resubmit mine?

 

I guess half a zed don't count ... image size

I guess half a zed don't count... given some don't consider a V8 powered zed a zed any more

what about a Montague image to get to the required image size

 

forgot this one

 

Here are some photos of Peter's (Godfather) Zed for submission









What an outstanding car! Very unique!
