2010 GVR4 Calendar *Pics Added* **Calendars Shipped**

Cool. So I'd replicate that shot with the new bumper & sorry to hear about the scratches.
 

Please submit the pictures to my email in my original post. I'd like to keep the pictures viewer fresh until I release them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I also prefer pics when the sun is high in the sky, almost shining straight down. Keeps from getting photographer's shadow and brings out the depth of the paint. I think that's more a summertime thing though, since the sun is at quite the angle during the winter, at least around here.

I'm far from a professional photog, especially for cars, but I paid attention to what the guy that shot my car for Modified was doing and learned a few things. Backdrop is a big thing and I think when some people take pics of their cars in front of buildings that are cool looking, they try to put too much of the building in the photo, which ends up overshadowing the car.

Quoting Garfield Wright:
Don't be shy, clean up your car(s) & go get some great shots. You can send me your HI-RES pictures to [email protected]. Give me your real name, board name, badge # & country as I plan on incorporating it into the picture. I will organize the pictures by season & post them here for the board to vote on them. I'm working on figuring out how much they're going to cost but it should be comparable to previous calendars.

If you guys like the layout from last year 2009 gvr4 calendar thread I can do it again. Otherwise I'm going to look into a different layout.

DEADLINE for submitting pictures is November 10th, 2009. Minimum size 1200x652 pixels

When you email me your pictures, please include the following info:
Name:
Board Name:
Badge #:
Country:

A few tips to keep in mind to get a shot that will be calendar worthy;
1) Do not position your car in such a way that the back half of the Oddyssey is in the shot (no v-tech)
2) Make sure the light is directly over or behind you & not in front of you (ahh di glare)
3) Scenery makes a big difference (doesn't have to be pretty, the car itself isn't)
4) Quality action shots are always a +
5) Check out the above link from last years' winners to get some ideas
6) To make it fair to all gvr4 owners, I would like to incorporate @ least one JSB (JackStandBalling) picture this time around but it must be tasteful & good quality.
