hey guys.. idea from a member (forget who, sorry!) but how about a caption for each photo? if the person who submitted each of the photos could also submit a caption for the photo (quick description of where it was, maybe who it was with permission and if you want, your name for photo credit) it could be cool to have that there as well.. send those in soon and we can get this bad boy ready in a week or so

[nfpgasmask]

Awesome! I know that a couple are ones I submitted, so I will add captions.

Thanks - Bart

I agree, it was a nice shot, I was pouting when I saw it fall off the top 13. I just checked the results and it dropped down to the 15th spot. Biju also holds the 14th spot with another rearend shot headed up a hill. They both lost 12 and 13 spots by one vote of 5 stars or higher. IF... etl is able to get a 14th picture for the back cover, I don't see why the picture can't make it on the calendar...

What does the rest of the community think? See this thread as well! (http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?threadid=12345)

I think THIS is why biju is leaving us! Get him in the calendar - make him stay!

[nfpgasmask]

I think I agree whole-heartedly, especially with Biju leaving us. However, CafePress does not allow more than 13 images (a cover, and one for each month), so it is technically not possible.

stay tuned..

Deviantart does calendars with a back cover to make 14 [example] (http://www.deviantart.com/print/188187/). I don't know if these photo's are "legal" to print though. I'll do some research.


Calendars are printed on quality cardstock using high-resolution HP Indigo digital offset printers for full-bleed full colour printing. Each calendar is spiral bound and includes a full colour front cover. -- deviantART

[etlsport]

this cover incorporates photos 14 and 15 as well as one of the top 13 then the remaining 12 would be on months in the calendar.. i figure this is a good compromise since there are two very similar group shots in the top 13 anyway

whats everyone think?

This one is mine. The caption is "My Proton on a rainy day in Iowa Gulch near Leadville, Colorado. I tried to get it all nice and muddy, but the rain just kept washing it all off." The backdrop is ASARCO's Black Cloud Mine, plus assorted other gold and silver mines that pepper the hillsides near Leadville.

I have released the photo under a CC license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/). That is, have at it, so long as the photo is attributed to me. A note including "timestreamtech.com" would be sufficient. Maybe my name! :)

Thank you for your votes! I'm going to be a published photographer, now! :p

How fitting it is, the pics of biju are of him driving away. :waab:
Looks good to me etl, thanks again for all your efforts!

[nfpgasmask]

Eric, you have out done yourself. Looks awesome.

Bart

[Dumke]

Looks awesome works for me.

[VXD959]

Etlsport,

Awesome! But instead of the #14 pick (proton going uphill at upper right), I rather use pick#16 (black vx with radioactive sticker - that an incredible pic!). This will make the ultimate calendar!

Thanks for your efforts!

Just sent you hi-res version of picture I submitted with the description. You are free to organize caption/description in common manner or add something ;)

[JoFotoz]

I would agree with VXD959 though....

IMO...two such similar "rear" shots on the cover is overkill....

...maybe a 'head on' would balance it out.


Thanks for all your time /effort on this.

damn guys. i'm just speechless - you're going to make me stay if this keeps up. know the feeling is indeed mutual. you guys are just great...

thank you.

[Chopper]

I think I agree. A face shot on the cover, in place of the upper, rear shot would seem more balanced.

[tomdietrying]

I agree Biju's VX picture throwing up the dirt, IMO, should've made the calendar, but it didn't. I think that why we had the voting, right? I don't know.

I really like the group shots of the VXs. I think they should be left alone. I think adding Biju's VX to the picture is over-kill. If I'm not mistaken, Biju's VX will be in the calendar three times already in the group picture #2 and #4 (I think he is the sixth car). He's also in picture #10.

People may disagree with me and that's o.k. I think the world of Bill, and I don't think he would NOT be upset with me saying my peace.

Peace.
Tom

[biju]

not at all mang! great points, tom...
