martinmac Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 It has been a very close run competition this year so firstly, many thanks to all who took the time to enter and to vote. Its your calendar so thats what its all about. If you didnt get in this years calendar enjoy it and get snapping ready for next year. If all those who were selected could e-mail me a better res version of their picture it will make things much easier for me. Front cover. The winners, in no particular order. [/img] So where do we go from here. I will be getting the calendars printed soon. They run from the first of February so whoever is the first picture chosen will not miss out. I will post up when they are ready with the final cost and start taking orders and payments.
ARphotographs Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Good selection there and good range of colour, will get the front cover finished this week!! Adam
3FIDDYZ Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 So when are the 350z-uk calender results coming out? Those are the results for the ARphotographs calender arnt they?.....
xStric9x Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 At least i'm on the front cover as a ghost
Stew Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Cool. I'm a happy bunny. This is going to be a great calander. All the shots are great.
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 waaaaahayyyyyyyy i've made it... cheers for voting for me looking forward to getting mine... -ho
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I think its a big error for allowing one person's photo's to take up 5 slots of the 'members' calender..............
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Submitted by members, voted for by members = democracy.
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Submitted by members, voted for by members = democracy. Well the 'members' aren't happy
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 I will cancel your order then shall I.
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I will cancel your order then shall I. I'm not the one who's not happy. Try live chat, plenty of people not happy
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Then somebody else can do one next year.
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Then somebody else can do one next year. Just don't allow professionals
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 As you dont buy one anyway whats the problem. I dont make any money from it so its pretty simple really.
Stew Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Martin, I think the majority of people in the club appreciate the hard work that goes into producing it. I think Sarnies point is fair. I own a car that has a professional picture of it included so am 'guilty' of this injustice! Thing is, it's a club calendar and all 3000+ members had 3 votes. We live in a democracy!
3FIDDYZ Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Its not the fact of them money or buying martin, its down to the pics of the cars being taken by the owners... must admit I didnt read the rules before hand I just thought the pics had to be taken by the owners or their cars.... Off to hire David Baily for next year....
3FIDDYZ Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Mine was taken by a professional. Didnt have to pay for it though Well not cash money anyway!!
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Yep How to tell her it didnt get in
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 As you dont buy one anyway whats the problem. I dont make any money from it so its pretty simple really. Its no slight on you whatsoever, everyone knows the effort you go to for this. I was one of four or five people that thought it was unfair on the unsuccessful entrants. I'm not the only one to think it should be: Pics of member's car taken by the member's themselves.
ARphotographs Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 so you shouldn't allow professionals? so where is the line for professional or professionalism? i believe you are called a professional once over 80% of your income is made from that specific area, and sorry to disappoint you sarnie but I'm not at that % yet.
xStric9x Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I'm ok with the calendar, but i was under the impression that one of Adams photos would be used as the front cover only
martinmac Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 If somebody submits a photo its their photo. The name on it is an obvious giveaway. There is another in there taken by a pro but without a name on it. I am certainly not going to witness all the photos being taken so its up to members what they submit and all members to decide what to vote on.
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 so you shouldn't allow professionals? so where is the line for professional or professionalism? i believe you are called a professional once over 80% of your income is made from that specific area, and sorry to disappoint you sarnie but I'm not at that % yet. 5 of YOUR photo's have been submitted on behalf of other members as its photo's of their cars. Will people bother entering next year as your gonna get half the slots anyway, which imo, doesn't make it a true 'members' calender imho.....thats all......
