I know this is long, but please read everything before submitting photos.

I have 3 basic requirements for the images themselves:

-They must be LARGE high resolution images. 2300x1800. No other size. Not larger, not smaller. It's not my job to crop your oversized picture. Crop it if it's too large or shaped differently.
(If the picture was taken at a smaller size, DO NOT RESIZE IT TO BE LARGER!)
-They must be 200dpi
-They must be in JPG format

If you do not know how to determine if your photos are correct, I suggest you find someone to help you. If you do not know how to crop your photo to fit the size requirements (if it is too large), find help. I will not do it for you. Please don't waste my time.

This is very important. If the image isn't high-res, then it will appear grainy. It will look TERRIBLE on the calendar. Therefore, it will be a waste of my time, and a waste of your fellow members' money. If you have a great picture of your car that doesn't meet the requirements... sorry... can't help you.

All submissions must be sent to me at deevergote@comcast.net.
All submissions must be in a single ZIP file (even if you are only sending a single photo). Name the ZIP file in this manner:

username - real first name - city, state, country

So:
deevergote - Mike - Woodbury, NJ, USA.zip would be the file name.

This way, I don't have to track you down to get this information if your image is selected. This information WILL be printed on the calendar.

Please don't send me every file on your hard drive. Send no more than THREE pictures to me. If you send more than three, I won't even bother looking at any of them. Straight to the trash they will go.

All these things are absolutely necessary for your submission to be considered.

ONE MORE TIME...
because history shows people clearly don't get it...

Name
Screen name
Location (city, state, country)

-Send no more than THREE pictures IN A SINGE ZIP FILE. Emails with individual pictures will be instantly deleted.
-The zip file must be named with your name, screen name, and location. Emails without this will be instantly deleted.
-Please send only ONE zip file. I don't want a million zip files from you.


Keep in mind that all submissions become property of CB7tuner, for use on the 2012 Calendar. This calendar WILL be for sale, with the profits generated going to support this website. No members will be compensated monetarily for their contributions.




Continue reading the posts below to get a better idea of the types of pictures I will be selecting.


Now, for the pictures themselves...

-If your car shows damage in a picture, it will be rejected.
-If parts of your car are unpainted, or mismatched, it will be rejected.
-If the image is blurry, it will be rejected.
-If the image is modified noticeably, it will be rejected (no creative photoshopping... though touching up and minor enhancements done by EXPERIENCED photoshoppers are ok)
-It should go without saying that the car in the picture must be YOUR car.

Please take the background into consideration. If the picture of your car is nice, but you're parked in front of a unappealing background... the image won't be pleasing to look at. No parking lot pics, with your car next to some beat up SUV being loaded full of groceries by an old lady.
Be mindful of the background, that it doesn't "bleed" into the foreground. If it looks like there is a pole or tree "growing" out of your car's roof... no dice.
Please try to submit pictures that don't show your windows rolled down... that just looks awful.

No people in the shot, if you can help it. If there are people, be sure they're a distant part of the background.
Please don't send pictures of yourself posing in front of your car (even if you're a pretty girl.) Likewise, no pictures of your friends, girlfriends, moms, grandmoms, dogs, etc... CARS ONLY.

COVER IMAGE
One other thing to address is the cover image. In years past, the cover image had been selected long before the inside pages. However, this year, I have no image picked out yet.

So, we need something good!

The size and resolution requirements remain the same, but that's it.
The cover image is not limited to a clean, clear photo of a nice CB.
The cover image can be an artistic shot that doesn't feature all of the car, such as CustomLowz's shot that graced the 2008 cover.
The cover can be an image that has been heavily manipulated, or even fully computer generated (like Lynx's 3D model that was on the 2010 calendar.)
It could even be hand-drawn... though I have yet to see anyone's work that would qualify (and anything that good would surely have been shared!)

The cover SHOULD be a bit more creative and less "yup, that's a car" than the rest of the pages.


And of course, this does not count as part of the three image limit for the regular submissions. Still, don't send me more than 3 cover ideas, either!

[evil_demon_01]

Please note - For now this is just an "Interest only thread"

If enough genuine interest is shown, We may go through with the idea.
Until then (which obviously requires at LEAST 12 cars) it is just that - An Idea.

-If you send me a picture of a car that is not a CB7... take a guess.

This obviously doesn't apply.

I might have a pic or two already and a couple of my buddies should have some recent shots. I'll see what I can come up with.

Seriously, I literally copied Mikes posts (hence they show as being posted by him)



We are still along way off 12, (Even if I include myself)
Of which I hop to get some pictures soon.

And PLEASE remember this is only a trial at this time, I make no promises at this stage.







I think once we see an interest of 20/30 (or more) rides, I'll make a new thread which will require several pictures only for a rough idea of the rides/quality.

[N9netwoAccord]

I copied my MRT from CD5tuner as I keep up with that one more often.

The C10 in my signature isn't really calendar material

[deevergote]

Once I get it fixed from my recent accident, I may. Perhaps I'll have Ralphie help me with the photos!



If we can get enough interest, and enough quality pictures, I'll make sure this happens.

[MikeW]

Would it be possible to have the Other automotive as the main shot and then maybe have said member's CB7 in a corner of the shot? To sort of do a before/after sort of thing.

Just thinking out loud. Of course, I don't know that I have any high res shots of my old CB, lol.
