In commemoration of our fifth year online, we are proud to announce the beginning of a new tradition. Please join us in assembling our 1st Annual Member's Rides Calendar by submitting photos of your vehicle.

Twelve lucky C&G members will have their vehicles featured in a beautiful 8 1/2" x 14" wall calendar available directly from C&G, profits from which go to funding the site. Pricing has not yet been set, but expect it to be far under $20.

To Enter:

Please submit a high-resolution photo of your vehicle to [email protected]. Include the following information:

• Your name
• Year/Make/Model/Trim (i.e. 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS, 2002 Chevy Camaro SS)
• Your location (city & state/province/etc)
• Your vehicle's nickname (if applicable)
• A short description, comments, or interesting story regarding your vehicle if desired. Remember to keep it clean!
• Please include in e-mail subject line "C&G PHOTO CONTEST"

You may post different photos in the Member's Rides Forum if you'd like opinions on which photo to submit, but final submissions must be e-mailed!

Rules:

Photos must be 1600x1200 or greater

Entries must be submitted by 11:59PM on Thursday, November 30, 2006

P.S. Oaklands, LaSalles, Vikings, and Marquettes are welcome, too, so all sixteen of you...

Any Photography Tips?

In general, whatever you feel makes you car look best. Keep in mind basic lighting rules and lens cap removal, but anything else is up to you. If you want a beautiful city skyline, a grand house, or just an open parking lot as a backdrop, its your choice. Experiment with the angles to make your car look the best and most of all, have fun! Remember, you're free to share as many photos as you'd like, but you may only submit one!

Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

Brian,

Awesome idea. Don't mean to poop on the party, but just FYI - CafePress (and most other publishers) will not approve use of car images due to brand logos / badges trademark / copyright issues. That's why many products that have pictures of cars on automotive products have logos / names edited out. Correct me if I'm wrong :AH-HA_wink:

p.s. you may be able to create a calendar and get it published quickly before anyone notices, but if someone flags it before it gets printed, it would end up to be a lot of wasted effort.

Here's some more info on that:

Aww...no Shadow? No even a Cuda?

Don't ya just wanna have a big picture of my rust bucket on your desk to look at every day for a month?! You know you wanna!

Edited November 1, 200619 yr by Dodgefan

Ooh, it's due in less than a month. Wonder if I'll have a Grand Prix GTP by then... or something else? Wonder if it'll be snowing for a great, snowy scene? Hmmm.

This is a great idea. I'll be sure to buy one.

Thanks for the heads-up, Allen.

Even if it doesn't work through CafePress, we'll do it in-house. Either way, a C&G Member's Rides Calendar is forthcoming one way or the other!

No Mazda Millenia? I ought to slap you, Fly. Just because this is a GM enthusiast website doesn't mean its member's have to have GM vehicles in order to get on a Member's Rides calender. How discriminatory. Pfft...

Fine, I'll just enter anyways to fill up your email inbox. I'll enter my blown engine Grand Am, too.

Did it just get immature in here?

You should just photoshop a C&G logo on top of every vehicle logo, then technically you aren't breaking their rules. Or it just looks stupid.

If it were a 2004 calendar then NOS' Camaro would totally have to be on the front, since 2004 was declared the International Year of Rice by the UN.

I guess there's always the Prizm...oh sure IT can be in it even though it's technically a Corolla

With everone on here driving something besides a GM product maybe the Monte C or the camaro stand a chance? Lol

Did it just get immature in here?

211197[/snapback]

You have no sense of sarcasm.

Anywho, I will enter my Grand Am. It may have a blown engine, among many other problems, but it still looks good on the outside. I could enter the Sunfire, too. Either way, both are GM vehicles and I'm pretty much the only one on C&G with either (that have been posted about or shown in signatures), so I might have somewhat of a chance.

Anyone know how I can retrieve a picture that I am currently using as a desktop? I can't find the file on the PC or on imageshack!

Z28_luvr: I think it's one of the pics you edited for me... do you still have those by any chance?

Actually, on second thought, I may be able to get a shot of the Camaro in on this...

Yes!

I sure do. I think they're on the PC at work. I'll forward it to you tomorrow.

I already have my pic picked out. I'll be sending it shortly, Fly.

Ooh, the one by the jet, right?

I guess I could enter a pic of my dad's 48 chevy pickup which is sitting in the garage...granted, the only part sitting in the garage is the rolling chassis...all the body panels and everything else is in storage at the moment.

I think I'll submit my Holden

Thank you very much! Who know's if it will make it into the calendar, but I still want it for myself.

I guess there's always the Prizm, but I'll have to wait till I can take a pic of it next week.

This is an excellent idea. I'd like to enter a pic of my truck, but I don't know how to edit out the date stamp if I use my work camera to take the pictures.

I think this will be my entry:

Sounds cool! Thursday's supposed to be relatively warm...I'll try to clean the Sonoma up and get some new pics.

hmm...im going home for thanksgiving... so ill get my car all nice and clean and find a nice spot to take some pictures of it...

Brookville? You have to go by it anyways...

Yep, I/we took some pics. We'll be submitting. :AH-HA_wink:

There should be an option to turn off the date stamp before you take the pics.

So far, I have the following entires...

• Chevyguy2001's Cobalt
• Northstar's GTO
• TamaZ71's Canyon
• Wildmanjoe's Eighty-Eight
• Robert Thuerck's Regal LSE

If your name is not above and you've entered, plese resend your entry.

If you haven't entered, please enter now. There are currently 17 days left until the deadline to get YOUR photo considered for the C&G Member's Rides calendar.

As a reminder, if you have more than one vehicle, feel free to submit one great photo of each vehicle. Enter now!

I'm still learning this idiot-proof Kodak C633:

Damn, they would have been pretty good if they weren't so blurry!

Edited November 18, 200619 yr by ocnblu

Awesome idea .

Hmmm...tho, depending on who all submits, I doubt my MCs would make the cut....

Ah, well ....

I fall into that category....you've got mail.

Cort, enter regardless. Everyone should enter!

Eleven days left for submissions, folks!

Cort, enter regardless. Everyone should enter!

Hmmm.... Perhaps I will. Tho, the best pic I have of all 5 of them right now is this one:

http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/1106/DSC07636r8_jpg.html

...and I'm not sure it'll meet the specifications.

Aye.

Dang it, I have some pics I would like to send you of the Skylark and the 71 RS Z/28 but they aren't large enough. I think I will try to modify a couple and see how they work.

Fly, I'll be sending you at least one picture very soon.

If size is an issue (shut up, Ocn), just try your best. If nothing else, submit your lower-sized photo and I'll see how it turns out.

Fly, did you receive my submission?

I'll get mine emailed before the end of the month.

I know what I'm doing wrong with my new camera. I will submit some more pics with the covered bridge for that Lancaster County flava. And hopefully they'll be sized just right. :AH-HA_wink:

You have to at least include the 1972. The 1972 is sweet. If not for the MC mudflaps, then for the fuzzy dice.

*chuckles*

Well, that's a convincing argument .

And, thanks for the compliment .

HRm...OK...which one ya'll think I should submit:

One per car, or one period?

In other words can I submit one photo of the Super 88

and also one of my old '68 Camaro?

Yes.

Who will be choosing the photos to be used in the calendar?

Depending on the number and variety of entires. The original concept called for voting from Dec 1-15 as to select one Chevy, one Chevy truck, one Pontiac etc, but depending on the number of entries, we may just have a 'Top 12' or we way do it by Mod committee.

Nautrally, if we have 12 or less entries, everyone is in.

In any case, every submission that meets criteria will be somehow feautured in the calendar. Guaranteed.

I shipped pictures of my 71 Camaro and my 72 Skylark. Hope you like them.

So far, I have the following entires...

• Flybrian's Aurora
• Chevyguy2001's Cobalt
• Northstar's GTO
• TamaZ71's Canyon
• Wildmanjoe's Eighty-Eight
• Robert Thuerck's Regal LSE
• AAS' Camaro SS
• Schuby87 & NOS' GTP/Camaro entry
• Z28luvr's Cobalt
• !!!TED!!!'s Lumina
• ZHawk's Skylark and Camaro

If your name is not above and you've entered, plese resend your entry.

If you haven't entered, please enter now. There are currently 8 days left until the deadline to get YOUR photo considered for the C&G Member's Rides calendar.

As a reminder, if you have more than one vehicle, feel free to submit one great photo of each vehicle. Enter now!

Hmm... IDK whether or not I'm going to enter any. I doubt my Grand Am would make it in, since you people are biased and the better car would get the vote. Oh yes, I know it.

That and... getting pictures of a car that doesnt want to run is sort of hard.

Just sent the Hawk pic, might send pics of the others.

Fly, I just sent you an e-mail with my pictures (SKY & AURA together). Let me know if you don't get them or have a problem with them.

I just sent a nice, clear picture of the truck by email. Mr. Fly, please let me know if you get it and if it meets the requirements for submission.
