hey do the winners get a FREE CALANDER :-)

free is good

You guys should get a quick So. Cal meet together and get a group shot for the cover.

That was 12 hard choices that I just had to make. I wish I could vote for a red coupe with lambo’s >> Were my pics even nice enough to be nominated if I had a better camera?

-BlackCelicaGT94+Dec 8, 2004 - 6:47 PM

NO

As is I'll be paying for the test print out of my own pocket; if we don't sell enough I'll never get that money back. I would love to give all 12 winners (who might "win" the vote- but still not be in the calendar) a free cal- but I don't have $227.88 to spare- nor am I that nice >>

Everyone who made the minimum resolution and "printability" has a picture nominated- even if it looks like crap and there's no way in hell- even if it got 150 votes, would it be in the cal.

hehe. well, maybe if it got that many votes...

Just thought I would say, I VOTED!!!

Great pictures. Took awhile to decide which ones to vote for. Can't wait for the calender! >>

Ahh... my pic looks like crap in that thumbnail... if you want the same high-res pic look in my profile. I dont know why but It looks way too bright and washed out in the voting booth.

I voted.. and I cant believe the black celi GT (with the celica plates) isnt getting more votes. I think that car is hot!

Tell me what you think of the pic in my profile, I hardly have any comments in there... so feel free to spam me away in there..

Voted. I really like pic #28, the one in the snow. Hopefully it gets more votes because I wanna see it in the calendar.

-MK153+Dec 8, 2004 - 7:06 PM

I had to brighten it up or the car disappeared totally. Ontop of that, I don't know if I can print that image.

-shid+Dec 8, 2004 - 7:09 PM


Why not?

Just looked in my profile... when did the comments thing get taken away??

Some realllllly good pictures in there.

-MK153+Dec 8, 2004 - 7:10 PM

because it's way to dark on a CYMK printer prepped monitor?

I think this picture is amazing:



I dont know how he does it but his car always has this blue aura color reflecting off the paint

Huh... i didnt think it was that dark. It looks great on my NEC LCD... maybe the new one doesnt look so washed out on other monitors...

Still wondering on the comment thing...

LCD screens are pretty notorious for not giving accurate color or brightness, you don't want to print prep on them.

-MK153+Dec 8, 2004 - 11:53 AM

Comments were all removed after the site got updated. Not sure why though...

it was taken away cuz people were bashing eachother in them!

i think it was a good thing too, my comments were just...strange

nice pics... im supprised, however, that there werent more night shots, or multiple cars in 1 photo >> but what is in there is high quality >>

Is it just me or did the first picture on the left change???? >> Did I miss something here? Lol

I posted some night shots...but my castle shot ended up making it in there. Not my favorite either, but it looks a lot better once blown up. >>

Hey, it did change! Hmm...maybe we should have everyone get their high-res photo that they want in there and then reset the voting? Because changing a photo mid-voting isn't really fair, because the previous votes were for the other pic. >>

i'm stupid and just submitted mine. damn it.

i think my pic would get more votes if people could see the high rez version. its kind of hard to see the car in the thumb nail.

-Coomer+Dec 8, 2004 - 9:38 PM

Oh hush, with 27 votes its not exactly high up there >> (and I thought it was early enough in the voting to change it, being 7 AM the morning after >> (changed back btw)

007 also changed, eric asked me to change it to his favorite pict of the car.. which to me looked almost the exact same. Except this one has a house in the background?

I'll say it again tho, in case anyone didn't hear me.

the winners of the voting- the 12 highest, probably won't be exactly like that in the calendar. (IE, someone will probably get screwed and someone might get lucky? I explained this before the voting started. We're trying to get a feel what you guys like, not set this in stone)

Why? for instance, lagos shot does look better hi res; and Consynx looks better color corrected- and coomer's looks great when it's at 300 DPI and takes up your 21 inch monitor (and mine just suck)

Say you vote in Doggy's picture (3rd to last)- there's a good chance that might change before production if he's good enough to get me a better picture. I still wish Tufy would have submitted more than one picture, because I don't find that pict of his to be the best; but it's the one he wanted in there.

or the red celica by the highway with the yellow plate on the back- it has a shadow of the photographer on the highway- removed it'd probably look good. But I wasn't going to spend half an hour removing that shadow.

As for linking high res- you're currently sitting probably 2 feet away from the monitor. Depending on your screen size, the image is larger or smaller. This is basically how the image is going to look when you see it from 8-10 feet away.

if it doesn't look good with 300 pixels wide; than chances are it'll look crummy when you're 9 feet away squinting at the calendar you hung up across the room.

the point I'm trying to make is we didn't have to have public voting like this, most forums that make car calendars don't- but we want to know what you guys like.

So, what I'm saying is that don't expect the final cal to look like this- and don't be sad, disappointed, or b*tchy >>
