Now the last photoshoot we did in wales was a great success and a fun day out even though it was drizzling!!
I was thinking abotu arranging another shoot and what better excuse that for the 2010 calander, I was thinking this way it gives everyone a fair chance to try and get included and at least then you guys can get soem nice photos regardless and we could actually get a Mk4 ellite group shot?
what do you guys think :smiley:
-
Sounds good - I need to meet some of you guys anyway!
Just depends on where and when it is :undecided:
-
yeah well once we see what interest there is we can set somehtign up , even if it isnt for the calender ;) just be good to do another shoot and mini meet
-
Personally I think there should be 11 spaces in the calendar, with December being a group shot of all of them :)
-
Yeah a MK4 group should would be cool.
I know in the rules it was a big no no, but hey, its our calender right? Although it then limits my chances of getting in with there only being 11 spaces....
Personally I think Stink should be disqualified as he technically doesn't have a GTI?!!
:evil:
-
It does limit the spaces to 11, but it could also be seen to open it up to many in one shot for December as lots of cars would be included. I think it's goot idea!! :cool:
-
Oh and I would be up for another photo shoot Joe!! :wink:
-
I just see it as an opportunity for eveyone. Lets face it, who's going to buy a calendar that their car DIDN'T get to be in? I wouldn't.
-
I would come just for the fun, car wont get into the calendar lets face it.
-
If my car gets in or not im still buying the calender regardless :smiley:
How about a group shot for the front cover? so we then have the 12 spaces and were not limiting spaces :smiley:
And ye i think the photo shoot sounds a great idea but im from newcastle so if possible could we arange it somewhere in the middle of the country for the few of us up north?
sorry to be a pain :rolleyes:
-
no point me taking part most of you dont like mine :D

I don't know you, do I want to know you?

Not being funny but all the shots you take of all the cars that manage to get to Wales will then get in the calendar (as your photos are v. good) shoot so it makes the whole thing unfair IMO
just my 2p

I'll be honest, I thought it, but didn't want t be the first to say it.
-
Can't you remove the rule that says other can take the picture of your car? Then it has to be your car, and your own photo? :tongue:
-
but then its unfair on people who haven't got £300+ camera and cant work photoshop
Id be up for another photo shoot, but doesnt the entries close in like 2 weeks :undecided:
-
Entries close on Tuesday.
I think another session somewhere for some photographs is a nice idea though, regardless of when it happens. Any excuse to meet up for a bit of banter is great, taking some good photos is a nice extra :smiley:

It's the photoshop rule that needs to be changed or removed! I good picture shouldn't need tweaking at all should it??!!
-
does it really, is there enough cars to do a vote :rolleyes:
am up for a meet along as its not to far up north
-

no it shouldn't but then most professional photographers would be out off a job :lipsrsealed:

Yeah I know what your saying, but photoshop is relied on too much!

Oh I don't know. My car isn't in the Lucy Pinder calendar and that's a pretty good one to buy.
-
god this has back fired, I always try to get as much right in camera as i cant be arsed with sitting in front of my lap top for hours , the fact of the matter is that its a great tool to help with tweaking levels, saturation sharpening up things that you simply cant do in camera there is onyl so much you can
but not going to get into a debate on the pros and cons of PS its a tool of digital photography
Well im happy just to have a mini meet / shoot meet up as we really don't do it that much!! now it doesn't have to be wales last time that was the best place for location and where people were based in the south where I am I know Nick was going to arrange another one but has obviously been busy with other things at the moment
all im trying to do is something for you guys 'The Mkiv Ellite' and the forum, so if you are interested then yes please stick your name down if not not to worry
-
I'm not knocking what you're trying to do mate, I just think taking pics for people for the calendar wasn't a good idea as you'll be coming up with ideas etc
-
I did try to say this before about a group shot. Would be a good idea for sure.
We should do it somewhere near Worcester so I dont have to travel this time :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
OK ive had another idea lol
Same as befor, have the meet and have the group photo but have it as a front cover for the calender but if people are to take photos up there they need to use there own camera, there own photoshops and there own car (like everyone else).
That way we get a great group photo, a picturesque scean for people who dont have the time to find one and no un fair advantages.
The votes will come from people who want the calenders and they will put there votes into the best photos of there own choise. people dont automaticaly have to vote for cars at the meet (personaly i wouldnt want a calender full of different cars same scene) :smiley:
Think ive tried my best to reach a compromise for all there :laugh:
-
im happy to attend a meet in my pink b!tch :) wud be a laugh an id get to meet some of you :) my car is having a photo shoot done at some point 2
we also have to remember with our lovely britich weather are cars are likely to be dirty by the time we get to point of the photoshoot :rolleyes:
-
Linz you car would be fine just in black and white lol, only joking!
What about somewhere around salisbury plain, theres loads of great sceanerey around here and also lots of areas of hard standing with good back drops, also i know people who have had shots done by stone henge (bloody pile of rocks) just a thought.
Aslo would definately be up for a photo shoot at some point soon.
-
linz nothing wrong with your pink car, mines bright yellow :grin:
errmm no idea where stone henge or the other place is but il get a deeks on google earth, the lake district has some unbelievable sceans which would be great for a group photo but again its pretty far up north for some of you?
Im happy to travel two hundred mile but not much further than that with petrol being bloody £1.07 a fcuking litre :angry:
But ye im well up for it :smiley:
-
Stone henge might be a bit too far south for you then.
Nothing wrong with pink, each to their own, i have seen it in the flesh and it doesn't look as bright.

they joys of speed detailier :wink:
