I not sure that Queenslanders are invited in this one, but if I was buying the calendar it would have to have more artistic shots, rather than just car on roadside when we met before run... They might be fond memories to those that were there, but they don't really grab the attention of everyone else

Reading through the posts Steve you ARE most definatly invited. It is intended to be a NATIONAL effort

Of course the Queenslanders are invited to participate.

It is an excellent project to bring the clubs together and it was always gazah's intention that it would involve all MINI2ers.

As moderator you might like to approach Paul on behalf of the project for the use the MINI2 name.

I think we all agree the pics need to be something special if it is to be a successful undertaking. gazah has suggested a poll for the final pics. Maybe we gather all submissions and then shortlist to say a managable number, then poll for the final twelve.

Some of us might take offense at that

all our photos are honest attempts at being artistic but some of us are less gifted in this area than other

Scotty has taken some great shots ... and there are definately a few other shots worthy of mention ... we just need to get a large number of entries to select from and then put them to the polls ... a few different backdrops is obviously a good start, your trip to the snow being a fine example of a nice backdrop

Is it worth defining some photo requirements/guidelines? eg we need a MINI in the snow, MINI on track, MINI in motion etc or is that being too prescriptive?

Thats sort of what I was trying to say..... (Is it worth defining some photo requirements/guidelines? eg we need a MINI in the snow, MINI on track, MINI in motion)

And I know i'm terrible at taking photos, but I try my hardest !

Cheers

I'm already thinking out a photo for the start of the GOR run on sunday morning...
7.30 am... sun coming up... row of mini's with the Westgate bridge in the background... nice long exposure....

fingers crossed it works out

gazah · Jun 1st, 2004, 01:21 AM

now we see some healthy banter & great ideas coming in... keep the thoughts rolling guys!

i've been watching the snow-trip thread & last i read it they were unlikely to actually have a MINI making the trip down!

-blacky- · Jun 1st, 2004, 02:03 AM

i'm thinking of going to the snow -either here or NZ, so i might be able to take some mini/snow pic's........

I believe that Ken will be taking his MINI down. You too will soon understand the amount of luggage space a child can consume. While the MINI is fine for taking kids on short trips, I think it will be lacking in the luggage area for this type of job. We have a Vienta wagon, and I believe that it will also have insufficient luggage space, and that we will need a roof pod as well

Now remember that last year we did a two week trip in our MINI, and the only difference between now and then is one little bundle of joy.

I guess all I'm saying is that the photos should be well exposed, and well composed. As I have said, many of the shots mentioned here have been good shots for the people for which it was a memory, but might have lacked for people who weren't there

I wonder what theme Paul is thinking of for his MINI2 calendar next year

Let's just look at a couple of samples of Cjays work....

Whereas this one is a really great shot, and a worthy memory for those involved, but IMHO it's no calendar shot....

Do you want ot ring him and ask him . . I think gazah is thinking local content for the Aussies . . not there would be anything wrong with what Paul/MINI2 has to offer. I am sure it will be great.

A quick PM to Paul re use of MINI2 name for a local production would be a good start to the project. We can then work from there as far as theme goes.

Thanks Steve . . .

Excellent shots for a calender . . the first two. I agree the group shot maybe doesn't meet the requirement for a calender although there have been some really interesting group shots that have some artistic flair. I guess we should just get in as many shots as we can and go through a culling process until we get a shortlist to poll.

Some group shots can be nice, but I don't think there are many that make the grade

Neeshil · Jun 2nd, 2004, 05:11 AM

I think the calendar is a great idea...

are these shots going to be of just cars or people and their cars?

I think at this stage we will collect whatever comes in from contributors and then short list for a poll. Anything you feel is appropriate would be great and we'll let the judges (MINI2ers) have the final say.

Anybody who has some high res pics they would like to be considerd for the 2005 calender, send them to: darryl@sheatherbros.com.

Once we have a selection of pics we can poll them to find the 12 best for the calender.
