Just an Idea for the 2010 calander

[dubcruiser]

It's the photoshop rule that needs to be changed or removed! I good picture shouldn't need tweaking at all should it??!!

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

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

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.

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 

[smitty12]

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)

Think ive tried my best to reach a compromise for all there

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

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.

[smitty12]

linz nothing wrong with your pink car, mines bright yellow

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

But ye im well up for it

[johnson6672]

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.
