300 Calender

Post by Chris_C »

Shamelessly pilfered from another site, but alongside the photo comp, although it's a bit late this year, we could use the winners (and/or others) to put together into a calender. Would need good pictures, not some of the dubious blurryness I have entered of late, but would anyone buy it?

I'd be tempted, especially if one of mine's in it!

Cool, something tells me we might not make it in time for this year (well, could just be a week or so late for Jan.

Go on then, post pictures, under catagory of summer, winter, spring and autumn, and we'll see if we have enough to make something usefull, else we'll keep them for next year! I'll have a hunt too. I'd like it to be no more than one piccy per car, but feel free to enter one per catagory, so we can make choosing easy!

Alternatively Chris, for the next 12 months we could have a monthly photo competition aswell as the catagorised one, the winner of each could be used, If we do it this way we could start immediately, have a christmas photo competition as the first one so we don't over-run next for year.
I know I cant go out and get a suitable "August" photo today ;)
It also gives us time to find a good supplier for them.

I've been trying to resist, but if I don't do it Mick will:

Sounds a cool idea, but we probably need to wait till next year so we have more photos. How about the one in my sig for Autumn. I've got several different angles at a high resolution :)

Yeah, waiting and not rushing seems like a plan. Hmmm, ok, more ideas flowing into the pot! I'm not convinced about a second monthly photo competition, we want the entries for both, I can see it just thinning out the current one.

I think that'd be hard, there's only been 3 entries for the current one, and two of them are mine!
