Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

Was in the first one... let me know If I can help again..

Sure, I can give it a shot Kevin. Right now, I have a fairly nice camera but I dont know for sure if it will be enough resolution for Jeff or whom ever does our calendar for us.

I already have a list in my head of potential guys that would be good for the calendar so far.

Kevin and that 72 El Camino of yours.
Craig Savina's 72 Malibu.
Derek Keifers 66 Wagon.
Bryans friend Chris with the 67 drag car.
Did the guy with that nice 71 Convert at the last meeting join?
Im pretty sure Ron Fullers 65 hasnt been it yet.
Bryan flattems 72 Malibu.
Bob (forgot last name) with the black 66SS convert
I have been throwing the idea around of slapping on the trim for my car and getting running to get down the street to take some pictures for it as well.

Actually the 67 drag car is Steve's. We'll see if he wants to do it, but I think members should be priority for spaces.

I would like to get a nice main page shot of whomever brings thier cars up to the picnic at the end of this month. Nice setting, he has ponds, and a good treeline to use as backdrop if he'll let us.

Thats my mistake then. I thought he was a member of the club already.

Regarding the pictures. Thats more for Jeff to answer but when he gets the photos, he has to size them to fit. When you do that, the pictures dont always look right when you blow them up to a bigger size or vice versa. They can be fuzzy or distorted. 

Also, we have until mid September to get the pics done and to Jeff. Here's what he sent me last night:

Bryan


A good picture will be at least:

1mb in file size or

3000 pixels wide

2000 pixels high

With enough “open” area around the car so that I can make it fit to the page.

Some newer cameras have 16x9 aspect ratio or “wide screen” this is not a good setting for taking a picture for the calendar.

3x4 or pan/scan or photograph mode is best.

Just a reminder, I know the weather's looking a little iffy this weekend, but we don't want to forget about getting pictures done if there's time.

We should also be able to get a nice group picture at the picnic with everyone's cars for the cover.

 You mean next weekend for the picnic right Bryan?

If it's not too late, a thought on a cover picture that would look cool is a semi circle of cars, staggered if more then one row.

With the photographer up high, like on a lift or roof top.

Chris,Bryan I will PM you my phone number, it should be on my contact info. If you have any questions feel free to call.

Jeff. PM replied. 

Works for me. A half circle always looks good. Plus it sounds like we will be getting a bunch cars showing up. I was also throwing around the idea of spreading out a group of cars in a random fashion like they used to do on the cover of car magazines.

That would be good also, especially in front of an old, restored building or 60's style gas station.
