2007 Calendar Entry Information! *Now Closed* Options

[Coomer]

Calendar uploading is now complete and closed. Stay tuned for calendar voting in the next few days.

Regards,
Christian Coomer

It's that time of year again! The last couple years the calendar has been a success, and this year it should be better than ever!

How to Enter
1. Go to http://www.6gc.net/cal2007.php.

2. Upload your photos.


That's all there is to it. Files are automatically linked to your user details and are automatically resized so that you can see a preview. If you see the preview image, you can be sure that your photo was uploaded successfully. If you upload an image and it gives you an error message, follow the instructions in that error message, or post here if you're unsure what it means. If you upload an image and it says it's successful but the preview image doesn't show up or is black, post here so I can help you.

Rules:
Don't post photos in this thread. It's for calendar discussion only.
Don't email me your photos...they won't make it into the pool of entries.
Photos must be scenic...no people in the photos please.

Please have your entries uploaded by November 15th. Photos will be narrowed down somewhat by me, and then the remaining entries will be voted on, this year with a better voting system when the time comes.

Thanks guys! This year's calendar is going to be great! So get out and start shooting and uploading!

Yeah, you can't submit more than fifteen.

[celiracer]

Hey Coomer, we don't have to worry how big it is. when you upload them to you they resize to that size?

[jgreening]

Can I enter since I owned my car for over half the year?

[Coomer]

Hey Coomer, we don't have to worry how big it is. when you upload them to you they resize to that size?

Files must be under 8mb. But no, nothing is resized, except for the small preview image.

[celiracer]

So how big of a picture does it have to be? i'm sorry i know how to take great pics but the whole size stuff i don't understand.

[x_itchy_b_x]

i hope a .jpg is under 8mb lol id hate to see a 8mb .jpg file

[Celiracer18]

whats the smallest size we can upload and stil have it be big enough for the calendar?

[Coomer]

whats the smallest size we can upload and stil have it be big enough for the calendar?

1024x768 is the minimum allowed, but most likely that'd be too small.

[6strngs]

hmm hopefully I'll have my car's exterior work done before nov 15th...

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

This means I have to go re-shoot some shots with a better camera. Looks like I'm going to hire my brother since he's a professional photographer, hes got much better gear than me.

[tufy]

i just post 2 photos. one from my profile. but other one is new for you . i cant wait 15 th of november.

[celicume]

Did you see the preview image of your uploaded photos? If so, they arrived ok, just like it says above.

[spolski07]

i sent in 2 pics!!!
yay

[spolski07]

i sent in 2 pics!!!
yay

[AUM_CELICA]

I already sent pics !

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Uploaded two of my favorites.

[Consynx]

uploading mine soon

[celiracer]

How can you make your picture big enough? mine are to small?

[Coomer]

How can you make your picture big enough? mine are to small?

You don't. Enlarging a picture to make it large enough will reduce the quality too much.

You need to shoot with a camera capable of shooting in high resolution (pretty much any decent digital camera) and be sure it's set to shoot in full resolution.

[Valo666]

are we aloud to submit pictures of 2 or more members?? Aka, a picture of me and Nader's car?

[Coomer]

are we aloud to submit pictures of 2 or more members?? Aka, a picture of me and Nader's car?

I suppose so, sure. But if there are only a couple submissions with multiple cars, then they'd probably be ignored in favor of photos of single cars, in order to keep things consistent throughout the months. So I'd submit photos of multiple cars, and of just your car.

And I'm happy to inform you all that we already have 88 entries...this year's calendar is going to be awesome!

[j0e_p3t]

88?! man, my chances of getting in are pretty slim.

[Coomer]

88?! man, my chances of getting in are pretty slim.

Keep in mind that almost everyone has multiple submissions...the number of users who have actually entered photos is far less, and no-one will be in the calendar twice, so your chances aren't as bad as they may seem...everyone has a chance.

[DriveCelicaST]

Look at Coomers signature. Everyone should go to the nicest place in their area and snap one high resolution picture and send that in. It would be easier to shrink the pictures to the right size than to enlarge it.


And another thought I had that might help with your project might be to have the users just upload the pics to another picture sharing site, and have whoever is doing the project look through the links. Saves space for this site. Coomer can just PM whoever wins and get them to send the good picture. Just a thought though.

No-one needs to shrink pictures, or enlarge them.

And space doesn't concern me...these photos will all be removed when the calendar stuff is done...it's much easier for me to get all of the photos in high-res right now on my own server.

[trdproven]

Can photos tweaked by photoshop be entered. Just a silly question but just to make things clear I guess for everyone.

Maybe...if they're just slightly color corrected or something that's fine...but I'd prefer to have them unaltered so that I can correct color and curves and such myself.

[IGloo]

Hope it´s not too late if I post the pictures by tomorrow...

[CelicaB]

Submitted 2...

[trdproven]

Ok, so November 15 might be enough time for me cus I'm trying to paint my car by next week. Its worth a shot.

[IGloo]

Submitted about 20 or so...
New photosession will be done tomorrow night, so I´ll upload some more by monday...

I am really looking forward to seeing this calendar!

[spolski07]

[celiracer]

I got 2 submitted. But will have a lot more submitted when i get my car back from the bodyshop.

[DSRT-FX]

hey coomer,
uploaded a few shots. hopefully they are good. i'll try and get some scenery shots. although one question, can the photos be either portrait or landscape? pm sent also... keep up the great work! -R

[WALKER]

...although one question, can the photos be either portrait or landscape?...

I am also curious about this question, should they be landscape or will you accept portrait as well?

[Coomer]

They need to be landscape.

[WALKER]

They need to be landscape.

Sorry that I uploaded some pictures in portrait style, please delete them. Thanks.

[Griff]

ah! in a week i will have my newly finished look, ill have to wax it and go take some pics.

[Fastbird]

Coomer, will you be editing the photo's at all, to clean up backgrounds or not?? I've submitted a few pics but unfortunately time and location doesn't afford me a bunch of opportunities to get the most scenic and object free backgrounds. If not, oh well, but I thought I'd ask.

[Nibbe]

I also added one pic.

[DSRT-FX]

yo coomer!
uploaded 2 landscape images. sorry for wasting your time with the other portrait ones.

can't wait for the calendar to be finalised! come on guys.. send more pics -R

[C3L1CA]

I uploaded a couple too. So many nice cars are uploading pic, can't wait to see the pics coomer pics

[easternpiro1]

can there be more than one celica in a pic? we're having an nc meet on november 11th

[celiracer]

Hey eastern i beleive he said you could but less chance of winning. But anyways Anyone know how you know if there landscape or portrait? cause i have nowhere that tells me that and i've sent in a couple.

[WH95TE]

I'll get on this in a few days, gotta take some good pics.

[trdproven]

Too bad, I guess I won't be able to make mine, I got a bunch of stuff right now together with a new paint job and others but I am going to Cali on the 8th and won't be able to put my parts back on.

[IGloo]

So, are there any news regarding the subject?

[j0e_p3t]

i think i'm finally getting my car done tomorrow. it should be done in a few days and i should be able to take some good pics by the 15th. timing's gonna be pretty close so hopefully nothing goes wrong.

[j0e_p3t]

hey coomer, would it be okay to extend the due date by one day? the body shop said my car will be done by wednesday, but i dunno if i'll be able to take pics cuz i have class till 5 that day and by then it'll be too dark. i know i screwed myself by waiting till the very last minute but school owns me. if this is too much of an inconvenience for you then i can just work with what i've got. thanks.

Yeah, that should be fine.

[j0e_p3t]

sweet. thanks a lot. now i just hope everything turns out okay.

[celiracer]

i'm just hoping that my car is done before the date. So the date is the 16th? I should have my car done tuesday or wednesday. I'm hoping.

Does that mean that the due date is the 16th? Let me know.

[Rayme]

I hope its the 15th at midnight cause I got some I want to upload and don't have them with me right now.

[Coomer]

Tomorrow at some point I'll take them off of the server and start working with them, and at that point no more entries will be accepted.

[j0e_p3t]

^^hey coomer, what time tomorrow? hopefully sometime at night. the body shop said my car would be done today, but it won't be done till tomorrow ($&%@&^%$@#!!!!). tomorrow i'll pick it up, take some pics, and submit them as soon as i get home. if i don't get anything by 5 pm tomorrow then you can just continue without me. so can it wait till the evening for you to stop accepting photos? please...? if not then i understand.

This post has been edited by j0e_p3t: Nov 15, 2006 - 9:46 PM

[Rayme]

For the winners, do you have someone to work on the pictures?

I'm voluntering for the photo modifications. (proper contrast and color, removal of power lines etc., photo resize at correct dpi, etc...). I'm a graphic designer with years of experience in pre-press, not some schmo who downloaded photoshop by the way

If you have somebody to do that its fine, but I want to do some changes on mine myself...if I do it in the final ones...

[amysmojo]

^^^ I think Coomer usually does it but im sure he wouldnt mind some help

[elvasoshexai]

*sigh*... wish i could've gotten some better pics in...
we've had such crap weather ever since beginning of oct =/
practically raining 4-5days a week =/
then when it is nice weather, i don't get off work until it's dark

[celiracer]

Just uploaded the rest of my pics for the calendar. can't wait to see who is going to get chosen for the calendar.

No worries Coomer. I can give you a hand if you need it,
although I know nothing about putting together a calendar,
especially for a year that hasn't even started yet.

[Rayme]
