I hadn't put any tag on it .. .. .. we can do it as a local MINI2 project if you wish. Just need to finalise permissions however that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

What I am mindful of is that time will get away and next thing we will be past the down time period before the Christmas rush at the printers. I am just trying to push it along so that the project actually happens. High res pics have to come in, shortlisted, polled, finished art, film, printed, calendars sold, put in mail tubes and then posted .. .. .. all before November. Any later then we caught up in the Christmas rush at both printers and Post Office.

It is a good idea which I am sure will be well supported however the project will stop dead if we don't get things rolling. We have July August and about a week into September to receive the high res pics and poll them for our final 12 and get them to the printers.

Thanks ;-)

The silver Mini is mine. The other ones are the fabulous ClubMINI members.

no worries, but despite my keen interest to run this one i really can't put in the time until early september

... so i'll leave it to you!

maybe i can coordinate next years'...

Smurfn · Jun 24th, 2004, 03:26 PM

Just noticed this thread. I think it is a great idea, and would love to be involved although my pics may not be up to the standard of others

erichui · Jun 24th, 2004, 04:42 PM

i would defintely be intrested too

I'm not trying to hi-jack this project gazah, it's your idea and you should run with it. I am just very mindful of timings particulalrly leading up to the holiday periods (School and Christmas). If we get the pics in and polled by early September you can then take over the design and print co-ordination rather than start the process then.

In the meantime we can all help you get to that point by getting the contributions in, shortlisted, polled and ready for you to take over.

gazah · Jun 25th, 2004, 01:22 AM

no offense taken brad

... i'd rather see a finished product then a bucket-load of unfinished ideas at year's end!

i'll keep an eye on the process as it develops & chip in when i'm available [& back on broadband!

Excellent Gary.

So anybody out there in MINI land that has hign res pics of anything related to MINI send them or a link to Darryl: darryl@sheatherbros.com.

If you can't upload them to a website or email them to Darryl, burn them to a CD and mail to:
2005 Calendar
MINI Clubs
Level Four, York House
50 York Street
Sydney NSW 2000

Lets get in as many pics as we can. The more the merrier as they say. Gazah and Darryl will shortlist according to the final theme and quality and then we'll poll them on MINI2 to get the final 12.

What happens if you have 35mm photographs??

poki · Jun 25th, 2004, 01:00 PM

Scan them perhaps?

"But what if I don't have a scanner?"

Thats me fresh out of ideas.

I do have a scanner, but it's fairly cheap and doesn't do a good job

A transparency would probably be the preferred medium. Not sure of the processes however whatever method gives Darryl the best quality to work with. Send what you have to the MINI Clubs office and we'll pass onto to Darryl.

my $0.02...

please don't send through a bucket-load of pics guys & gals, think about it & submit ONLY YOUR VERY BEST!
i would suggest a maximum of say 10-15 for really prolific photographers, & pick THE BEST single shot of a series of similiar photos!
although i love looking through people's photo galleries, please don't send a generic link to your online gallery... send a link to THE VERY BEST shot[s], in your opinion!
the submitted images can be a compressed version [or scan of a 35mm shot] but be sure you can back it up with either a high-res digital version or original negative for 35mm...
please note in your correspondence the highest quality image you can supply!

i think that if we adhere to these simply guidelines we should end up with a reasonable-sized collection of GREAT SHOTS to work from!

brad has suggested we create a series of desktop calendar images in various sizes for download... so look forward to that side of things also!

for thoroughness, please note that this calendar will be 'not for profit' & while the photographer will be credited for his/her shot they will not receive any $$$... they will however obviously maintain full copyright over the image!

i have amended these details to the thread's first post!

Darryl · Jun 26th, 2004, 12:02 PM

With transparencies, or whatever else we just need to see the photos at this point of time. (As long as you have the high resolution versions tucked away if digital).

So Swamos, most anything will do for the decision making process. We can drum scan the negs if their chosen.

gazah · Jun 26th, 2004, 12:19 PM

ditto darryl, see my list of comments now in the thread's first post!

darryl...
i presume you're happy to have your email listed for submissions!?
anything else you'd add to my afore-mentioned comments?

Darryl · Jun 26th, 2004, 12:32 PM

sounds good to me.... (the costings might alter depending on the quality we decide we might aim for)

I'm ok with the email also, happy for you to steer the project.

Take the original, or the negative, to your local photo place and have them scan it, or get a duplicate print made and send that in ... it's not rocket science.

I know I don't belong here since I live in the US, but I have read through everything else and came upon this thread. I was wondering if I would be able to buy a calander. If not, that is ok. I think that is a great idea to do a MINI calander! Are you going to be printing the calander on an offset press or digital press?
