Title: FORUM CALENDAR 2015 - SHORTLISTED PHOTOS [NOW SELECTED]....
Post by: RedRobin on November 22, 2014, 03:30:10 pm
These are the shortlisted photos, some of which and not necessarily all, which we are planning to use in the forum's 2015 calendar.

The square thumbnails in the collage below are only for your image reference. A HIGH RESOLUTION copy should be uploaded to my Dropbox emailed to me if you aren't on Dropbox - I will PM each of you info. Which photo appears where in the calendar has not been finalised by Neil and myself yet.

Please note that any text such as the photographer's logo must be removed before uploading. Each photographer if requested will be credited in the same style as in previous forum calendars.

@scopes (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1567)

It will help greatly if you could upload hi-res versions which have not been cropped from their original image so that we can fit them better for both A4 wall calendar and CD-case desk calendar.

Thanks 
Robin :happy2:

EDIT:

Final selected image thumbnails (subject to any repro quality issues) with month allocation....

Unfortunately it appears that Dropbox doesn't allow you to upload a file to me unless you are also a Dropbox member :(

So I have now PM'd you all my email address. That's all except @M9xxr (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10512) who "can't receive PM's" ????

The 2015 A4 wall calendar cover....

I didn't realise until after creating it that a photo from @valle (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3099) also graced the 2014 cover but this image choice was a no-brainer and instant by Neil @scopes (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1567) and myself.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FRED_INK%2FPrinted_Projects%2FDRAFT_Cover_OutsideFront_2015.jpg&hash=6d55322975a6f87326ca2cb3f135f1d2d3d4668b)

@valle (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3099) - Photo credit name needed, please.

@rich83 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=709) - I have used the transparent version forum logo on the cover. Great that it's what you sent me  :happy2:

Hope y'all likey and tough sh*t if you don't  :P :grin: LOL

Damn missed out this year :(

....Not necessarily!

Post here in this thread which image or images (no more than 3 please) which you would like us to consider. The repro quality of your images are usually good.

I will then ask you to urgently email me one of them if we think one is potentially usable.

@Grande_GTi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4552) - Do it today, please.

I just looked at your ride thread and like this but there are several choices....

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3903/15213665530_90e3480439_b.jpg)

I like this one too....

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fee297%2Fgrande_gti%2F00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000E9_zpsblupwmxa.jpg&hash=657b73b9da54ece450b49dbf7c7f88a9e91673c4)

I have looked through your ride thread, so please send me both these two images above in hi-res (I'll PM you my email address). We'll potentially use one of them.

And exclude the Cat Bear Photography logo - I'll credit them in our usual calendar style.

Unfortunately I don't have the original (as I remove them once edited) so would need to be cropped out if that's the photo he wants to use.

....IF that first shot is the the one chosen, then I would credit 'FAT BEAR PHOTOGRAPHY' in the usual way and off the image area. I would not crop it to lose that logo but would Photoshop it out.

My first choice would be the other shot with the cars line up anyway.

That's fine, I'm not bothered if you photo shopped it out. I'm not that fussed lol.

No-one likes the photos to be taken on proper cameras anyway.

@M9xxr (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10512) - URGENT CALL FOR THIS PIC, PLEASE!!

^ This pic is very low resolution and if it is to be included we need a high resolution original very urgently or regretfully we can't use it - That would be a pity.

Does anyone know him? Can you tell him to respond to my emails and this post, please.

Thanks

Yes, Neil and I both like this pic and it adds variety to the cars in the forum calendar.

Maxx will be happy about it as he emailed me yesterday to say that the photographer is in Jamaica on honeymoon and has the original, hence the delay. I'll let @M9xxr (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10512) know.

@Grande_GTi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4552)

You haven't responded to my request dated 27th November to send the hi-res photo without the logos etc on the image  :surprised:

Unfortunately, we have had to finalise both the month allocations and artworks for the A4 calendar without your photo. The A4 calendar artworks are 99.9% complete, just needing a photo credit name.

However, I am today finalising the CDcase calendar, so if you can email it as requested today I may be able to include it only on that version.

It's a fine picture which we would have wanted to include but we can only do so much.

A4 calendar artworks are otherwise complete and ready to send to Neil @scopes (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1567) today for print production.

I am hoping to complete artworks for the CDcase version late tomorrow or at the weekend.

Thanks  :smiley:
