sorry you feel that way. I was just happy to see my car in a calendar!! Great job last year, and I am sure this years will be awesome also! (maybe just a little more time to prepare also!)

sorry you feel that way. I was just happy to see my car in a calendar!! Great job last year, and I am sure this years will be awesome also! (maybe just a little more time to prepare also!)
if the calendar was always about the "best" (a very subjective term if you ask me) cars of gotstang, then we would see the same group of cars in the calendar year after year...
the true representation of GotStang would illustrate the core member cars whether they are mint show cars or stock daily drivers and everything in between.
I think a big part of that was lack of high rez, quality pics. Having the greatest car here doesn't mean anything if they couldn't provide a good pic to use-or even if they chose to...
Personally, I thought it showed a great variety of cars-stock, modded, diff colors and engine sizes, body styles...
Oh, I'm so excited for this. I'm going to get some pictures taken right away.
I love the Calendar, I even gave one away as a Gift and my friend loves it and doesn't even own a Stang!!! This time I have to order more than 2 LOL
the cars are not final, because I don't have all of the applicants submitted photo's yet.
I can say the final cars chosen will largely depend on the quality of the photo. The best stang in a crappy photo is not better than a clean crisp photo of a car with so called "less to offer".
The goal of the calendar is
1. A quality product with quality photo's (I wouldn't want my car to look like crap, so I'll ensure that if you're in the calendar your stang looks it's best)
1. That each applicant with quality photo's get into the calendar (space limited but I'lll try my hardest!)
2. That said, how the feature car is chosen is not yet determinded. Quality photo's is a MUST for a feature car (since it's has a larger exterior image it'll need clean car and background)
Perhaps after all the applicants are submitted photo's I can review the final cut of cars to be in the calendar, and then maybe have a vote for the feature car after qualified by me (meaning they have good enough photo's for the feature car)
again, final cars and format are subject to change. Organizing a quality calendar is difficult, so don't eliminate the possibility of changes.
OH, and Electric green, I know what you're issue is
I'll have that fixed! sorry, we missed that! Will add "n/a" to the list !
You'd think J would have picked up on that since his is a v6 coupe! It's the only mustang to not have a secondary title. Even the 4 cyl was an LX hatch or notch. There was always motor, model, body style title for any other stang! Rather than repeating v6 coupe, I'll leave the option as n/a for the first model choice since it's covered by the engine and body style choices.
I'll ask J to add that soon!
Lol, no biggie to me. She's been called worse than an LX by thick headed anti-newer car folks locally :silly:
I think the feature car should be voted on, but def. should require excellent quality pics of exterior, interior & engine bay (and CLEAN in those areas too, lol) if that format is kept (and I think that looks great in the sample).
So what happens if you submit pics then by chance get a better pic? SOL or resubmit? Being that we are apparently into Fall rain season here, I doubt this will happen to me, but figured I'd ask....
I tested on mine, and it'll create a second entry
I guess you can do that, but send me a guestbook entry when you do. Otherwise I could duplicate your car, and/or use the wrong one.
Is there a deadline to when we need to have our pictures submitted?
Oct 10th :)
Take some good ones! get nice angles, try cloudy/overcast days they produce some of the best photo's
I'll take some pic's this weekend, don't have any day time pic's with my Gotstang? plate on.
Also (usually) don't take the pic standing up (although sometimes this works better), crouch down, and take it at 3/4 of the side-basically, not straight on to the side or front. Cloudy days or under trees are best espeically for dark colors, or colors like mine that "wash out" in bright sun. If you are shooting on a sunny day, try morning or evening, rather than full sun at noon (creates harsher shadows). Don't shoot into the sun, don't shoot the shadow (dark) side of the car if you can help it either.
Although, sometimes you just have to settle for the best you can get! I've been working so much lately I will take whatever day I actually have time to get the car out-sunny, cloudy, even "well, they said it wasn't SUPPOSED to rain" lol...If it wasn't for WDC, I think we would have put 5-600 miles on the car all year :( and now it's already acting like fall!! Yuck...
Nevermind.
I also have the poster I created for my car, and I have several I created for 1HotPony if he approves. If you are interested.
I think it would be cool if my car, or another trophy winners, had those GS trophies by the car in the calender. It would show fellow GS support and the level of the car on GS.
this sounds cool to me so i am in. i already submitted the pics. would be nice to see in the calendar :-)
Jay-
I need to find a good front shot in that size, but count me in again for this year, considering I probably wont have my car next year :( are you only taking front shots or will a side shot work?
it should be from the front; but includes a portion of the side -like an angle similar to crimsion's sig
I like the one you are using for your avatar, it shows off the doors that way...Quote:
