Thought I sent a few of my photos? Ah I'll send em again plus some new ones i took today

[Jonnyboy89]

quite frankly isnt there only a few members submitting pics, therefore obviously if we try and squeeze in 2 cars per month, then 24 members, or group shots available in there aswell! just so we dont get the pages of abuse, or discrimination e..t.c. blah blah, but anyway thanks again to flick and luke cant wait to see em

[*flick*]

^ that would cost alot more.. more colour, more ink, more design time needed.. Im footing the setup fee out of my pocket, dont mind at all, cos im excited about doing this, but the more set up time/design time needed, the larger the fee.. Modifying the main page photo to fit 2 photos would also warp the photos a little.

Basic is better and more effective anyway, 1 main page photo and 3 or 4 smaller ones on the date page below it. Trust me, seen it done by the 31 club and it looks good and organized and very effective.

I know what you mean though jonny.

Im trying to be fair.. The photos for the main pages will be the ones that are best quality and look good at a decent size. Im saving everyones photos to a file marked with their names on it, so I will try and include every car submitted, even if its just in a smaller photo. People are just gonna have to be understanding and not get angry if they arent a main photo.. I cant please everyone, but im gonna do what I can. The small photos wont be TOOOO small, they will still be decent pics of the cars!

Some people havent submitted photos but have given me permission to use ones of theirs I already have aswell.

[Jonnyboy89]

yea i see where your coming from flic, but i can see as someone else said that people will get angry at not beina main pic or no pic in it! but thats life! hope the set up and design fee isnt to much flick otherwise just add $2 or so onto the calender cost! so just as an idea, thursday is picture end date, then prob a week for you to desgin/finalise, so prob 3 weeks or so and we can hopefully be ready to recieve em, just trying to get a guideline, let this not start another hoody thread fight! hehe

[SLED]

lol, if anyone gets sukey & gives flick a hard time for not being included............expect flamage

[Carbon 34]

peeps lots of photos in my profile but thousands more on drives. feel free to use them if you see anything you like.?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ga...-user47405.html

if you see anything you like in it i can email the larger ones to use. tonight my wireless is too slow , weather issues. and tomorrow I'll whip up some photoshop files to ponder as well. so check again tomorrow later on.

would be cool to get together a photoshoot sometime charmaine , get a cruise together when the rain stops...lol anyone have connections to airport hangers or warehouse to shoot in? or maybe the docks in the port ? someplace to shoot without cops hassling us..lol

some night shots and day shots maybe?

flick what size shots do u need?, DPI and pixels wide,tall? do you know the print device id so i can colour match the profile output? are you using adobe indesign or ?

sorry didnt want to dig thru the whole post to see if you said the info..lol

[*flick*]

^Troy, Ill have a browse through the link tonite after work.

As for size, well i dont know exactly, but obviously the bigger the better, so full res if possible, thats all I know.

I dont know what the print device is, or what programme they use, I wont know until friday. I just have to take the photos to them, sit down with them and design the calender with them.

[Import S13]

Kye, that would be Jack Buster

And photos have to be in by thursday night

haha woops! cut me some slack i was on my 11th or 12th beer by then!

might just bust out my skills on the camera and see what happens

[SLY R33]

sent a couple more off to you flick, took them yesterday hehe

[CRoNic...]

Flick, I sent through around 70 photo's lol. Even though they're camera phone photo's, if you resize them to a decent size (I sent them in 2000xsomething) they come up very decent quality (it's a 5mp camera).

[Carbon 34]

just a bit of info for submitters, most phone cameras wont be able to produce good photos for printing?, they only look ok on screen and not A3 or A4 print sizes? big difference in photo DPI, 72dpi versus, 300-600dpi or more for gallery quality? they dont have enough to work with when blown up and printed. look fuzzy and grainy, if you have a real camera use it even a cheap one takes better shots then a phone? just my two cents before huge setbacks and time wasted on photoshop.

and the printer will reject the shots because the hi end printer wont print shots in the wrong formats or colours. even newspapers use higher res photos then a phone produces?

hint, make sure your shots aren't JPG with max compression (poor quality for print) or tif with lzw compression it crashes the printers and corrupts files.

wish i would have picked up this thread earlier so i could help more, maybe next time?

still no takers for photos?, I'm free tue afternoon,wed all day so far and maybe thursday am

[*flick*]

troy, thanks for that Info. The printers didnt say much to me.. but im sure i wrote somewhere no photos taken from a phone, purely for that reason. They may be ok for small photos but not the main page.

All good. Still ahve till thursday night to get me photos, plenty of time!!

Never done anything like this, and still new to photography, im still learning. Like ive said before, ill use the best photos im given as the main ones..

All the ones ive been given so far are JPG, so thats a good start

people, take troy up on his offer for photos if you can, would make perfect shots for the main pages!!

[craig R33]

flick, i know charmaine had some pretty decent photo's

of my car and sent them off to you,

please dont put it as a main photo.

i dont want people getting there knickers in a not.

cheers

[Carbon 34]

even something out of this world is possible, this took about 15 min to whip up ...lol

give anyone ideas yet?..lol

this is at 600dpi saved highly compressed jpg from the original file size of 27mb

but ive recieved photos from the following people

SLED

SLYR33

VU - got your second email with new photos.

Also - which Vinny sent me photos of a black 32 GTR? Just so I know what file im saving it under

Talked to the printer again this arvo just briefly, the calender will be an A3 Size..

[Inline 6]

a3 thats pretty big, does that mean its just a single sheet? as in you dont flip over for each month.

[heslo]

What about mine flick? Im going tomorrow night most likely to get the updated shots, still keen?

[Inline 6]

with the difficult choices and arguments soon to follow its a good thing absolutely everyone agrees my car is the best in the club and therefore should be in the star position in every spot no room for opinions on this beast. my car fires up in the morning and pisses excellance out the exhaust

just sent you through some pics of this great stunning machine flick so you may drool and admire and maybe even perspire(i dont know it kinda rhymed)

and another email is to follow with the flooding of the inbox, couldnt decide on what pics. AIR 1s are nice though and gorge rd.

feel free to use mine, if not i wont be losing any sleep. dont need others to tell me my cars special
