2008 celicasupra.com Calendar - Photo Submission Thread!

[Malloy]

:iocrunks2:
Ok gang, its time for the 2008 Calendar :) Please submit whatever kickass shots you may have. There is no theme and all photos (that fit the tech specs) will be considered.

I've seen some great pics this year, so post them up! The pics get better every year...and I would love for the 2008 calendar to really shine!

Minimum Photo Size/Resolution: 2272 x 1920

Submission Deadline: This thread will be closed on 11/10/07 That gives you a month to get me some pics!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. 2272 x 1920 or larger images are way too big to insert into your post. PLEASE!...JUST POST A LINK TO THE IMAGE.
(host your images at imageshack.us - photobucket.com - or email it to me first, I'll host it, then I'll provide you with a link so you can post it) Please PM me for my email.

2. No photo-chopped images (unless it is a minor touch-up)

3. No images with date/time stamps or watermarks.

4. No images that were blown up to meet the minimum size requirement.

5. No basic driveway or parking lot shots. (meaning: my car is parked in front of my house...with a Taurus in front and a Trans Am in back...lets take a pic for the calendar) Please focus on composure. We had some great ones last year!

NOTE: To allow for trimming, PLEASE be sure that your vehicle is centered in the photo!!!

PM me if you have questions.

[SilverMk2]

I like this pic, but it has cars in the far background;

You can look around here to as well and see if any are good enough

[xjongreggx]

Does the car HAVE to be in the dead center?
I have some pretty cool pics of my car a little off center.

[Malloy]

xj: it has to be close. Post them up!

[Tanya]

I think this is what Mike has in mind in terms of centering...

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t187/celicasupragirl/Black85/IMG_0975.jpg

Having done calendars myself, I do know how important it is for the car to be centered, and not fill up the pic too much as it may get cropped out upon printing.

[Malibyte]

OK, here you go:

Click Me (http://www.malibyte.net/Supra/images/Drive_05May06-0008mod.jpeg)

Not centered, but one of the better pics of my cars.

[SupraLee]

[jefe_not]

Birddog - too much glare from the tail light - but hey, that's just an opinion...

[Malloy]

Hey guys,

We have found that the best 'calendar pics' are created when you actually take the pic with the intention of it going into a calendar.

It seems like composition/quality/lighting etc are given more attention when taking a shot with an intended destination.

Here is a nice tutorial:
http://www.photographyreview.com/carphotoguidecrx.aspx

[Malloy]

Also, the pics don't have to be as 'centered' as tanya is showing.

Here are a few examples from least year that worked out nicely:

Here's my favorite pic from this past summer :) I need to get my new camera figured out I guess ..

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m270/Yotaholic/highwaypic1.jpg

[Malchick]

Here are a couple submissions for now. I will for sure have more for it is fall in Colorado.

These are lower resolution because photobucket won't allow more than 1meg file size. I'll be able to email the full sizes.

Picture 1 (http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r149/supra_malchick/Calendar/calendarsubmission01.jpg) (not quite centered)

Picture 2 (http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r149/supra_malchick/Calendar/calendarsubmission02.jpg) (a bit more centered)

[supra83mkii]

I wish my car was pretty enough to be even considered as a calender car. :'(
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s303/supra83mkii/My%20Supra%20Pictures/Picture026.jpg
I like this picture here
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s303/supra83mkii/My%20Supra%20Pictures/Picture027.jpg

Maybe when I give it a new paint job, it'll be pretty enough :)

Hey Mark... good to see youre still in the game. I remember you from the yahoo list, and I secretly lusted after your Lt Blue car when you first got it. Please post up some current pix of it in our photos thread when you get a chance.

[Greg G]

I honestly cannot make up my mind between these... somebody please help me pick one:

Hey Greg, thanks for the welcome. I posted some recent engine bay pics of the 82 as well as a pic of one completed wheel restoration. I also posted one exterior pic, although it is a few years old. I'll get out the camera this week and shoot some good shots of the exterior and a few of the interior for you. Trying to play catch up with time (as far as the car aging and what not) is a slow and costly process which I'm sure you can testify to also.

[SilverMk2]

Greg's photos make me realize just how crappy a photographer I am...

[83restomod]

damn Greg. we need to get together for a shoot. my car would knock ppl on their arse with your skills. :hail:

[kmfdmk]

[Chrisfrom1986]

I like the side profile the best!

Im so tired of seeing side profiles.

[robidunno]

Greg, I'm partial to the rear 3/4 shot personally.

[Malibyte]

Yeah, either the rear 3/4 shot or the one below it. All of them are sweet pics, and the car is drop-dead gorgeous.

The Ultimate Pic is This one. That is just a true work of art! I wish my superwhite looked that good! I'm close, but I am trying to fight rust. I am in New York, do you know of a good body guy to reccommend? And, are those 15" or 14" rims?

[Malloy]

01 or 03 :)


I honestly cannot make up my mind between these... somebody please help me pick one:

[Greg G]

yeah I like 01 also... you just gotta promise not to crop out the ceiling detail. Looks too cool to remove.

Lets see what P-Diddy thinks, but I also like 04 because you rarely see the lights up with the fogs in our calendar.

[Malloy]

Oh, thats why I love #1. I'm all about industrial shots...and you got it right with that shot :) HDR stylez.

Greg,

I actually like the first picture - the front/side. Shows off the paint, beautiful wheels and it's a nice angle too.

Malloy just posted a picture of DanMac's 85, at the bottom of page 1.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/MkIIMike/07%20calendar/mac.jpg

<--- Not submitting pictures for the next calendar, since I've had both of my cars in the 2003 calendar already. Now if I can get a updated picture of both of my cars in the same shot....... Unless Mike specifically wants individual car pics only....

[83restomod]

mk2 with a mk3 front bumper?!!!!! WTF thats sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Chrisfrom1986]

Greg, 04 is awesome with the lights on, the only complaint I have is the stickers on the front windshield.

[SupraWes]

I like #1 Greg

[Junkie]

Mike, not this year, obviously, but, have you ever considered ...

Rat rides --- give some love to "old reliable"

Track shot's --- Pictures that come to mind --- Dave's white beast launching, Agatha launching, Wes' car, the drift guys, etc. Not neccesarily those cars, but those type of pics.

The normal calenders you do, show cars that many of us aspire to own similar examples of, but Reality is, most of us never will.

[RedP85]

Greg, #3 for me too, but I'm not choosing, just my opinion.

[Greg G]

OK that was no help LOL... I will choose one in the morning and be done with it.

[scorpmatt]

Greg... in this pic, I swear the car has the attitude of... oh, not again! (imagine a wealthy woman stating this whilst slightly turning up her nose)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/greg84mk2/Forums/CelicaSupra/PG%20ONE/PG01.jpg

[Greg G]

you got issues matt hahahaha

[CJSREDPRA]

Shawn,


Track shot's --- Pictures that come to mind --- Dave's white beast launching, Agatha launching, Wes' car, the drift guys, etc. Not neccesarily those cars, but those type of pics.

Has been done at least 1x that I know of. Either the very 1st calendar (that Dr. Dupler did) or the 2nd calendar (that was Mike's 1st calendar) has a action picture of Don Lew's AutoXmobile out @ Bremerton Raceway going around a cone. Very same calendar I believe also had Chris Clement's 85 out on a Road Course.

I for one, would like to see a picture of rwhite's race car out on the track. If he has any good pictures.

[Phil G.]

OK that was no help LOL... I will choose one in the morning and be done with it.

We got five votes for shot 1, one vote for shot 2, six votes for shot 3 and two votes for shot 4.

Re: Pic 1: unfortunately those stickers in the windshield are mandatory - inspection and registration.

+1 w/CE and Shawn; I'd love to see an action shot as well.

[Donn29]

Is photo-chopping a bit of rust ok? not sure if I can do a good enough job anyways, but the black hides all the scratches and stuff.

[sidwayz240]

Quick Question
What about license plates
i took some great shots this year but they have the plates on them
i can leave them on there or fill the letters with white
idk how else to do it

[Sean Chung]

Here's an action shot of mine, although it looks like I'm not moving.

<--- Not submitting pictures for the next calendar, since I've had both of my cars in the 2003 calendar already

I've had my car in two, that's enough for me.

[Dan McBoost]

Come on McBoost!! Post some pics of you own car!! No cheating and using mine!

Careful there BA: http://forum.mcboost.com/style_emoticons/default/scooter.gif

All calendar photos are taking by the people that own the car/boat/building/landscape in the photo...

haha, JK.

...Anyway, I did NOT post a pic with your new dubs nukka! Get that fucking camera out and start shooting your own!

[scorpmatt]

you got issues matt hahahaha

Yes I do, and it's a good album to boot. ;)

[Supra Mario Brother]

I'm off tommorow, and I'll snap some shots. Any Requests, needs...what is there typically a shortage of?

[deaf_rattle]

i will send the photographer an email about the pics. i was certain the pics were taken on a wicked camera at the time, so they should be all good.

as for new pics, you will need to wait till the car is back on the road (in pieces at the moment)

[deaf_rattle]

whats your email malloy? those pics are 4.1mp but hes going to supply some other ones which should be suitable

[Greg G]

Its done... no hate mail plz!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/greg84mk2/Forums/CelicaSupra/PG&#37;20ONE/GGPG1.jpg

Crop as you see fit Mike. I gave you the original size... I think some shld come off the left side to balance/center the car. At least thats what I did to the resized version I posted here. Theres a little more noise than I'd like... but its a dark image. Maybe I sharpened it previously... I dont recall. Let me know if its unmanageable.

PS - I removed the windshield stickers and truck sign for Chris909

[Phil G.]

Okie dokie.

Since it is your car you can go with any pic you want really....:zzzzz:

Bob - just goofing on Greg as previous poster complimented Greg on having a beautiful car. How's a newbie to know it's not his anyway....I have a firechicken as my avatar and the white MK2 is still linked in his signature.

I will sell it back to Greg one day for one.....million.....dollars!!!!!!!!

I had a gx71(mark II) parts car at one stage (was looking at a 1ggte conversion for my ma61) that was the badge that was on the back. I thought it was pretty cool so i put it on the grill.

If you could just work on your composition I think you would have some killer shots.

See below.


smb: whatever u want. Just keep people, other cars, hoses trees, direct sunlight, excessive glare, out of the pics (unless you know exactly why you are adding them in the pic) Cant wait to see them!

The trees might be okay, but I think Mike is going to have a issue w/ the glare coming off the right rear.

Welcome anyway!! Do you have any other pictures??

[VsQ]

Yes, I have few more, but I need to adjust them a bit. And btw, that's not direct sunlight, and I don't see any glare there, sun light just bounces from car. But I'm aware with that.

EDIT: Here they are.

Wow, there should be a calendar thread more often> Soooo many great pictures. Keep them coming!

[SupraFiend]

I think this is what Mike has in mind in terms of centering...

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t187/celicasupragirl/Black85/IMG_0975.jpg

Having done calendars myself, I do know how important it is for the car to be centered, and not fill up the pic too much as it may get cropped out upon printing.

Centering is ok but that pic needs major cropping for the calendar. Not picking on you Tanya, this is just a good example of some of the pics that have made it into the calendar in recent years that wasted so much page real estate on pavement. I can think of a couple where literally half the page was wasted on asphalt, usually because the photographer couldn`t hold the camera still enough to make it not blur with the light conditions they were working with so they put the cam on the ground to take the pic. USE A TRIPOD! Or at the very least, go big on resolution so you can crop out the crap and still meet or exceed the minumum size requirements (which are very important, we`ve had some blurry pics in the past too).

End Rant :) I will have to look through my stuff and see if anything is worthy for this year.

[Tanya]

I actually have a similar pic to that that is not so spacey around the edges, but wasn't intending on either to be a calendar submittal. Was just trying to help *shrug*

[Malloy]

Go take new pics!!

[RedP85]

Nic, not with a man-hole, and with sun on the car, no shades
10 feet further back or straight over the man-hole, at another time of the day would be great ( I think )
and trees now have more colors...!

I kinda regret not taking Henry's gorgeous car to a more scenic spot when I was down in 'Lauderdale.

[SupraFiend]

Go take new pics!!

A: I am taking new pics, lotsa great shots from my Japan trip. It wouldn`t be the first time I`ve gotten in a pic of someone else car that I took ;)

B: Its October. Prime picture taking time is over in Vancouver for this year, its rain and gloom till spring.

C: All of my nice cars are off the road for one reason or other.

So I will look through my stuff :p I took a ton of wicked shots of my 85 on a trip to Cali last year and I managed to get some good ones of my 86 for the 3 days I had it on the road this year. Plus with my Japan trip, I should have something for you.

[SkoonMA67]

I only have a couple right now that I would consider worthy... These were actually submitted for last years calender, but didnt make it. I am going on a photo shoot tomorrow, but Im going to post these just in case that doesnt work out :) lol

Those are really awesome shots, but I see the problem is that the car is too close to the edges and it may cause problems with cropping. The pics need to be centered so there is room to work with to get the car in the right spot on the calendars.

[SkoonMA67]

lol, no problem... ;) those have already been cropped from the major-mega-res shots :)

Ill find the high-res versions on my disc(s) and put those up...

Youd have to make yours look like a 2J with all the egr crap then get it serted like i did with my 7M.

As for pics i have one on file but ima see if i can get some better shots before its to late.

Very bad photos? Really? Which ones?

[84ptype]

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j101/waballer/DSCF0091.jpg

[Deanfun]

Very bad photos? Really? Which ones?
April: Not only does the pavement occupy half of the photo, a good 2/3's of that is out of focus. The car should be centered vertically or a little below center.

June: Fantastic car, way too close cropped. Those little bits cut off the left and right sides really detract from the full experience of the reflections.

September: again, fantastic car but a little too close cropped.

October works because the car is framed in the shot by the background. It's also a somewhat unique angle and height.

Dan Mac's photo is perfect. The higher-than-standing-height angle is awesome.

And I think we need a lot more of December, even if the cars are less than perfect. Actions shots like that are far more memorable, even if the car is beat up, rusty, or missing parts. It'd be cool if we can get a great photo of one of the 24 hours of lemons cars at work.

February/August are essentially the same photo. And while the overall tone of both photos is different (and maybe that makes up for it), I don't feel they have enough differences to note. I know last year you were looking for cars in 'urban settings', which I thought was/is a great idea, but more variation in the shots would only be an improvement. The same goes for March and May shots. Both are essentially the same (although March is close cropped).

I don't know, maybe I'm just picky. I just think that the shots in the calendar should either show absolutely stunning cars in stunning settings, or great cars doing awesome things (drifting, great motion shots, etc.) For what it's worth, I'd be very happy to help with commenting on selections, if it's welcomed.

[Greg G]

Slip... I understand what your saying (not that I agree with the criticism), but ultimately we can only work with whats submitted.

Its not like I have a staff of pro photogs who are paid to go across the world to take pro pics of Supras ;) Cropping happens if images are submitted in the wrong size. Again, something I cant control. Rest assured that the 07 calendar had the best pics from what was submitted. (plus, Im not sure that I agree with all of your comments)

I LOVE action shots and always ask for them. The drift shot was prob my fav from the 07 calendar.

I am one of the ones that agrees with most of Slips comments actually. Not trying to nitpick or take a shot at ya Mike, but I sent you 4 gorgeous pics that didn't suffer from any of those problems Slip mentioned and IMHO were much better quality pics then several that did make it. They were all of another red 85 mind you, that might have had something to do with them not getting in. I've seen the stuff you take and the examples you give Mike and I know you know what a good pic is so I'm quite happy to leave it up to you to decide what gets in. Every year I look forward to see what pics made it in. In fact I kinda don't like these submission threads as I prefer to have never seen the calendar pics before. Anyways, I hope I havn't offended you but I've seen so many great pics in this thread already that there really should be no reason for any pics to make it in that are cropped or shot poorly (as I recall last years submission thread was filled with good candidates too). It is defintaly a bit of a challenge to crop a pic taken in 1.3:1 and convert it to the 1.18:1 ratio that the calendar is in, but if the pic can't fit nicely, then it should be dropped, there is more then enough good ones out there. Thanks once again for doing this every year Mike!

I will get you some good submissions ready, pics that I've never posted online before to boot ;)

[Malloy]

I did my best with what I had last year. Dave makes it every year (again for 08) b/c he submits some SICK shots of a beautiful car. Everything is right, the angles are usually awesome so they make it to the calendar. If I receive 20 shots like that, he wouldnt make it every year...but I have slim pickins come Nov usually.


(as I rcall last years submission thread was filled with good candidates too).

Not all were: real hi res, the right ratio, clean without PS (MAJOR pet peeve), unique. Believe me, I did the best with what I had.


but if the pic can't fit nicely, then it should be dropped, there is more then enough good ones out there.

Again, this was not an option last year.

Sicne I first saw this thread the weather has either been horrible or I've had camera issues. I plan on getting some new pictures taken this weekend if the sun comes out, but since i'm itchy, here's a few that I had sitting around. The last one is obviously photoshoped (actually it's MSPainted to see what bigger wheels look like...couldn't find the original, and yeah, I know i did a shitty job) Like I said, just a few random shots to get me going.

this is one of our members avatar, but when i saw it i thought of a good shot for you "good" photographers.
http://img26.echo.cx/img26/1594/zpict15762sk.jpg
this shot replicated with a supra, but fully resto'd and sexy looking. the old junkyard with the long grass and rusty cars would be a ggreat calander shot imho. But it has to have the grass, i dont think it would look that nice without it.
anyone want to try it out.or maybe some P/s whizz could try somthing.

Well, I guess I'm not good photographer.
Hope some of you like it.

[Solo1Supra]

I said it before and I'll say it again, GREAT looking car Satoshi!

[jefe_not]

Satoshi - Beautiful car! You could have a calendar all by yourself. But don't forget that we need at least one photgraph of food!

[Rosso]

Thank you all:)
I found that taking "good picture" is not easy.

[denvermk2]

satoshi ichiban!

[denvermk2]

satoshi.. did you give them the one with fujiyama in the background?

[raven97990]

Here are a few of Mike Rap's supra that I took for him this weekend, not sure what is usable, Im going to see if my crapo lense got any good enough of us on the road course to submit(we where going to try to get mine, Mikes and chris parvin's car in the same shot on the course)

Here are three corner shots of Mike's car, the one at night likely won't work, but here they are

Here is one of me and Chris on the road course, my lense in junk so it limited zoom, but I was thinking that they could be used for a small insert(like where the date 31 would go in a 30 day month kind of thing)

For Mikes Silver car, give sugestions on better backrounds so we can schedule a time to go out shooting some pics, that car deserves to be in the calander

[Rosso]

Thank you Robin, Domo arigatou!
No I didn't think about that Fujiyama picture because it wasn't taken by me so I don't have them in high resolution.
Thanks anyway:)

[83restomod]

still very jealous of the cressy lip. looks great.

[Supra Mario Brother]

I screwed around a little bit today and snapped some pics. I didn't bother to clean it up, just thought i'd get some input on what's working, what's not, and what looks decent or not. If anything looks like it might be calender worthy, i'll clean it up and snap some next weekend.

[jefe_not]

Please don't take the photo next to the Service Department! I'd like to keep my car as far from there as possible! :)

[denvermk2]

YEAH! Our cars never break anyway. Why would we put it next to a service dept? :).

[Chrisfrom1986]

Thank you all:)

Need some more shots of the back of your car, the difference between US and J spec is very noticeable and would look awesome in the calendar.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/rossometeorite/calender06.jpg

[9Teen86]

This a one is an absolute MUST for the calendar. I only wish it was Bob at the helm.


Thanks Greg and the other guys who have posted compliments! I also wish I was driving, but was driving the photographer's car instead.

Here are my two submissions.

[Greg G]

Niiice... I vote for the black 85P pic... unless you can p-shop both stacked in the same month.

[Greg G]

I also really like the pic of Satoshi's car that Chris909 singled out.

[Greg G]

Raven I like the composition of Rapp's first 2 pix.... but the glare and shadows are messing it up.

[Greg G]

Super Mario... clean that beauty up and go back to the brick building location. If you can (lighting-wise) position the car on the side where those tall windows are... just looks neater over there.

[Supra Mario Brother]

Greg - Agreed. My digital camera has great quality and features, but the battery life is pretty horrible. It's always hard for me to know what's going to turn out right, sometimes something that seems like a good idea turns out horrible, and sometimes shitty things end up great... Cars seem to be the only thign that give me that problem. I'll see what I can come up with this week, today lighting wasn't my biggest concern...avoiding rain is hard as hell lately.

[raven97990]

Raven I like the composition of Rapp's first 2 pix.... but the glare and shadows are messing it up.

Yea, the lighting was awefull I was experimenting with angles and settings to see how it'd work out. Guess I'll have to call Mike up and we'll go hand out, I've got a good location, he'll just need to do a little off roading to get there =)

[SkoonMA67]

alrighty then, here are 5 of my best shots from my '08 photo-shoot. Plus one old one that I feel I must submit again... just in case ;)

These have been left uncropped to allow for proper cropping in the calender. Minor editing in the wash-bay shots to get rid of a water spot on the lens.

Ciao.

Sky-scape shot moved to next page, again... wrong image posted here ;)

[denvermk2]

skoon's under the bridge picture is perfect (2nd from bottom).

The last one is good but I think you focus too much on the city's skyline. You should have just put the car in the middle.

The one with the train has a lot of potential but somehow I dont like it. I dont know why. The angle of the car maybe?

The other picture under the bridge is no good due to the sun and shadow on the dirt. If you have taken it on overcast day, it would have been perfect. I really like it but the sun and the shadow ruined it for me.

[jefe_not]

I like skoon's shot of the car next to those windows. Great set up...

[denvermk2]

oh yeah.. and I dont like the one in front of office building because i can see a worker (and a canadian flag....just teasing) inside.

[denvermk2]

Jeffe, I agree but the worker and the photgrapher is on the reflection. Thats a no no. I can fix the photographer one easy with photshop but the worker is blend in with the car reflection. Kinda hard to fix.

[Malloy]

Keep em coming...some nice ones are popping in!!

(skoon:Love the shot with the train 'Canada')

[Greg G]

WOW great shots Skoon... I like the train and front-on shots best.

[jefe_not]

Agreed that it would be better without the worker, (the flag stays!), and better perhaps with a different building with more reflective glass, but I like the thought behind it - seeing the reflection of the car from a slightly different angle is cool...

[denvermk2]

Skoon.. it sounds like you need to retake that picture LOL. Make sure you cant see your self on the reflection. But I agree, seeing the car from 2 angles is awesome. If I had a NICE supra... I would find a nice graffitied wall for sure.

[SkoonMA67]

Lol, thanks guys... I really like the glass shot too, but there's somthing you need to know :p

Lol, I submitted the wrong shot... lol... here is the proper glass reflection shot that I wanted to put in :D haha

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/majicmeow/dorikazehires/Supra.jpg

There, no more tripod :p

[SkoonMA67]

Sorry, also just realized the city-scape picture was a cropped version. here is the uncropped original.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/majicmeow/dorikazehires/Supra1-1.jpg

Personally, my favorites are the city-scape and the train shots... I just LOOOOOOOVE that veiw of my car for some reasone :D

I am going to retake the reflection shot though. See if I cant get more light on it.

Thanks for all the comments!

Always happy to help out! I wish the weather had cooperated a little more, and hope the shots make it in. There's some pretty stiff competition!

[Funkycheeze]

That's what she said.

No, really.

[denvermk2]

funky.. your car is 100&#37; hot. I absolutely want to see that on the calendar. But the pictures didnt do it for me. I dont know what. The background is too soft maybe. Need more drastic color in the back. I dont know what is wrong. Maybe it is just me. Im no photo expert.
