Making a 1-Series calendar

Matticus91 · 06-01-2016, 09:26 AM

I couldn't find any other attempts at this so I've decided to take it upon myself to create and print a 1-Series calendar.

What I need however, is volunteers who want their car to be featured.

My plan is to do this each year, either collecting PROFESSIONAL QUALITY shots from those that are far, or taking pictures myself for anyone in the DC area that would like their car to be featured. Once I have enough pictures I'll work on the formatting/design/printing stages and make them available for purchase at cost + time, so prices should be low.

If you are local, want your car featured, and don't have professional quality pictures already - we can organize a shoot and you can keep whatever pictures I take, originals and edits. All I ask is you cover my gas if I need to meet you anywhere far.

Also, if you have "seasonal" pictures, that would be awesome. As in a picture of your car in the snow that I can use for January, or a picture in fall trees that I could use for September. If I get too many entries for one year, I'll start a contest for the best pictures to be added.

SO. If you're interested, vote below, and let's see if all the work will be worth it or not!

Current "Featured" lineup:
FPSCanada (Has pictures)
Matticus91 (Has pictures)
smrtypants44 (Has pictures)

Current "I want one!" lineup:
FPSCanada
Matticus91
smrtypants44
Mach1er
alpho
PopsnBurbles
Suprgnat
TexSquirrel

Price looks to be about $20/ea PLEASE keep this in mind before voting and only vote if you're seriously interested, otherwise I'll be out money here!

My car is too stock/generic to be featured.

Poll isn't letting me vote on my phone but I would definitely be interested, & I have professional photos!

iminhell1 · 06-02-2016, 04:48 AM

Models?

I'll buy one then.
If no boobs, I no interest.

Provide the models and you've got a deal

Calling out ilikebmxbikes would love to have your car in this if you're willing and able, and I KNOW you've got the pics

Mikee82 · 06-02-2016, 10:04 AM

Yes, I'll buy one.

It would be nice to have an IS in the mix!

Dunno if you only care about static pictures or not, but I got a couple.

Static, in motion, upside down... anything good! Great shots - are you just interested in having your car featured or would you also consider purchasing one? I'll add you to the list if so.

Bump!

I would need at least 12 people interested in this to make it worth the effort, don't be shy!
