OLLIE 26 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Hey Everyone, once again we are going to put a bimmersport calendar together, we want photos of members cars whether they are individual shots or shots with more than 1 car. We are keen to see some more 'group' photos this year. We need to pick 13 fantastic photographs and would like you to submit your pieces of art, photographers will be recognized on the calendar and will receive a complimentary calendar. Owners of the cars photographed will be recognised also if appropriate. Specs for photos are: 6MPX or larger (approx 3600 pixels wide) email lo res copies of your photos to [email protected] Final Deadline: 20th of October Calendars will go on sale again in November for $25 each incl postage. Just a few tips about taking good photos. Take them in as high qaulity as possible. Print standards dictate atleast 300dpi and between 8 - 6 mpx. Include sexy girls in the photo where possible. Dont worry about mucking around with colours in photoshop, leave that to us as it going to require the correct balance for print. Also do not crop the photo, leave that to us because we need bleed etc. When you take / submit the photos make sure they are not under or over exposed. Think about framing the shot properly. look at the things in your shot and make sure you dont have too much of white or black (unless your going for that look) Taking photos on grass is quite tricky, the colour green doesnt go with much and just ends up reflecting onto paint and spoiling colour balance of the photo. Taking photos under trees with poor light also can be very hard to get right. Would be great if the cars are clean when you photo them here is last years calendar ad - showing all the photos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Do you think my last Port Hills photographs were up to scratch mate?yeah they were good, tbh though you'd be pushing to get the same car in it 2 years in a row. If you went for something different like a group shot, moving shot or something creative it'd have more chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) how about some of the e30 race series boys weld/bolt on some nice sparky metal plates that will rub on the ground when racing to make cool ass sparks... Like the old f1 cars when they had to run them for min height... I know you can get mag. knee sliders for the bikers maybe get a couple of those and strap them under the car....

bekker 7 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Anyone in Wellington keen to do a group shot? I'm thinking firstly E28's then if that's a no-go a shot of all generations of 5's together and then if that doesn't come off, I dunno, something else cool? I'd be keen to spend some time getting my E28 looking good (although one side is better that the other) so if anybody's keen let me know. Also the highest res camera I have is 4 mp so If some one had something better... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyarab 6 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Do you think my last Port Hills photographs were up to scratch mate? Just get a V8 trio... a nice snap of you Sammy and Jason will easily get a place imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 My vote is an E30 vs E36 group shot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 More action shots tbh. Static shots are boring!! Unless there is a smoking hot chick in the shot. Shame we don't have a real high quality pic of Paul's E30 stunt driving down in Taupo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
