Title: 2012 MK6 Golf Calendars - General details and photo submission
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 07 August 2011, 19:51
It's that time of year again! Although this time, I am getting voting and design sorted prior to December as I wish to not be running around like a headless chicken near Christmas.  :grin: So here goes, many of you know what these calendars are about, great quality, featuring 12 members cars decided by the voting process, which is voted for by you!

First off, I need photos from members on the forum to compile a poll. Anyone can enter, using any photo of a car they have owned that is relevant to this MK section. This thread is purely for people to post photos for submission. As always, proceeds will be made to the forum charity of this year, which is Everyman Male Cancer Campaign (if you would like to see how we are doing as a forum so far please follow the link: http://www.justgiving.com/golfgtiforum-is-9).

The rules:

- Closing date is Friday 7th October.
- The picture submitted must be of you car that you own or have owned.
- Retain the original file, if you submit a photo that is to be used in the final calendar, and you can not send me the original full resolution photo then you will be disqualified.
- Use a high resolution camera, at least 6MP or more. The higher resolution the better as it will avoid pixelation in the 'blowing up' process.
- Photo enhancements can be used to make the photo look better, however no changes such as lowering your car or changing wheels are permitted.
- A poll will be held after the closing date and the top 12 voted for photos will be used in the calendar.

NOTE if you have submitted already please don't enter again, unless you wish to change your photo choice.

That's about it, I hope this is all clear to everyone.

Good luck. :afro:



Here is the design I'm going with this year. May be a few tweaks by the time they are printed but you get the idea.

Here's a picture of Wolfgang bathed in god light taken with a 5 MP camera. My 12 MP camera would not catch the god light!

Kenny, you posted the photo session months ago, they must all be on the forum somewhere.

Just a thought, I'm not posting my Mk6 here for obvious reasons, but my Mk2 is in the errrr Mk2 section, but I quite like some of the pictures from all the sections. As well as doing a calandar for each mark, could you do the top 2 from each section and make combined Mk1-6 calandar?
Title: Re: 2012 MK6 Golf Calendars - General details and photo submission
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 10 September 2011, 00:57
That's the plan fella :)
Title: Re: 2012 MK6 Golf Calendars - General details and photo submission
Post by: dubber36 on 10 September 2011, 08:42
So it's not one calander for each mark like before then?
Title: Re: 2012 MK6 Golf Calendars - General details and photo submission
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 10 September 2011, 14:50
Yeah, it will still be that. Just like last year though I chose the cars I wanted in a calendar and had some 'limited edition' ones made too. I'll do something similar this year.

Looks like there won't be a MK5/6 calendar this year as there are not enough entries to even make 12 months.  :rolleyes:

Title: Re: 2012 MK6 Golf Calendars - General details and photo submission
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 10 October 2011, 10:09
Yup, as there wasn't enough entries so all latecomers are welcome.
