Automotive Forums Calendar

[Polygon]

This thread is to discuss making an AF calendar.

Like I said, I would be more than happy to donate my time and any advice as I've gathered a lot while making the TM calendar.

1. Do you guys want an aspect ratio of 3:4 or 16:9?
2. What year, start at 2009?
3. How do we decide who gets in? Submissions, and then vote?

Discuss.....

Submissions then vote

Start at '09 (need to wait for all this shit winter weather to clear for me to get my car all shiny and the wheels on)

No clue on aspect ratio

[Polygon]

Yeah, I'd agree we should submit and then post. I'd also like to wait for 2009. That means I could get the new stuff on the cars and take some good pictures. I'd vote for 16:9. It would cost a few dollars more but the difference is worth the price to me.

16:9 Better format and in the long run will allow you to feature the car more. 2009 is great and we should do submissions and have the picture put before a panel consisting of a few people. I'd like to be on it! =) But people more like Damien from the photo threads in off-topic. He would be a good person to have on it. Think about it. Hundreds of submission, lots of voting. It would take forever. Just a few key people to make the process simple and easy as possible. I would definently submit some pics. But would never be able to get in. I've seen some of the pictures floating around here and there is just no room for my Maxima. But I'm still going to try!

I'll be putting up a picture of my Speed3 here for it. Though I doubt it would make it in, lol. Exterior wise, I'm thinking a set of FD wheels, and maybe one or two minor accent pieces. [/hijack]

We need to lay some ground rules out for the pictures, though. We need to figure out what can and can't fly, quality (no camera phones), shit like that. All though I do vote that we should allow people in the pictures. My car is going to look pretty plain, so I need to get a few of my more attractive lady friends in bikinis to post up with it to set it apart, lol.

I just don't like people in the pics. If I want ladies I'll get a Hooters calendar.

However, like I said in the other thread, the minimum should be a 5mp camera and it's highest resolution. If anyone needs tips just ask.

I could try putting in a few pics of my 3000GT assuming I still have it. I just got a 8.1MP EXILIM for Christmas and I know a buddy of mine who is a photographer so maybe I can work something out.

[Chiquae07]

i got a friend with one of those super expensive cannon cameras who can take the pic for me. hopefully i have a diff car by then.

We could a midyear calander from june 2008-december 2009.

Also I think it would be cool to have group pics in there too, like if people live near eachother they could get theri cars together and take a group shot.

[AMGalltheway]

If my car looks like sh*t can i get in for creative pictures?

[Polygon]

Well, it looks as though this place is just dead lately or nobody really wants one.

[BeZerK2112]

I want one!

[AMGalltheway]

yeah me too!

[RaeRae1]

I think an AF calendar would be great. I agree with Gotian - a few group shots would be great if some of the poeple in areas close to each other wanted to get together. Not sure if my Nissan would make it but still, it would be nice to have a calendar of some of the really nice rides on AF, if people are up to the task that is. Could take some hours to get it judged and together.

[Gotian]

Psh im still in, but im out one car as of right now, lol. (Not like I'd want to put it in anyways) I have a few pics standing by, I call either March or December hehe!
