2018 Zpost calendar submissions

[Cyclops]

Today I was asked if I was going to do another calendar for 2018, so here it goes. Last two months have been really busy for me so to keep things simple I'm just going to use the same format as the last 2 years. The only thing I added was when submitting your photos please rename them to FORUMUSERNAME## eg Cyclops01.jpg, Cyclops02.jpg etc....

If anyone has suggestions, comments, etc.... please share.

*********************************************

Submissions for the 2018 Zpost calendar are now open! Photo submissions will be accepted until 12:01 AM EST on Sunday November 12th. (this means get them in by Saturday night!)

High quality pics only, please. The pic you took with your circa 1999 cell phone in the parking lot isn't going to cut it here. PLEASE check your resolution!! We cannot print anything less than 5 megapixels or 2592 x 1944 pixels! If you are not sure how many MPs your photo is use this calculator: http://web.forret.com/tools/megapixel.asp?

Photo submission will be done through e-mail. An e-mail account has been setup to collect the submissions from Forum Members Only. zpost2018Calendar@gmail.com max 20 mb per email, links to high-resolution images hosted elsewhere are also acceptable as long as they are downloadable.


Please submit any E85 & E86 pictures you would like to have nominated for voting in the 2018 Zpost calendar via the email address LIMIT 4 PHOTOS PER VEHICLE. All pictures must be high resolution, so don't compress them down. Bigger is better! The maximum times a single vehicle may be in the calendar (except multi-car shots) is ONE (max one full-page). Once polling has closed, if you have two or more top-rated photos, only the top one will be used in the calendar (this is to improve variety - Sorry! If you want a calendar with just your car in it feel free to make one yourself)

Submissions will be closed Saturday, Noverber 11th and I will then make a new thread for voting, which will also be open for one week.

Submissions that are less than 5 megapixels but at least 2048 x 1536 (3 megapixels) will be eligible for the cover of the calendar but not put up for a vote. The cover photos will be chosen at my discretion.

All photos will be voted along side each other in the final poll, and the cover photos will be chosen by me based on what fits (as stated above). I will first select the highest voted photos that did not make it into an individual month and then move on to what fits if necessary.

RULES:

1. Photo submissions must be from forum members only.
2. Photo submissions must be sent to the e-mail address: Zpost2018Calendar@gmail.com you must include your ZPOST Member Name subject of the email!
3. FOUR Photos PER VEHICLE limit (some members have more than one).
3.1. Photos with multiple Z4s do not count towards the individual car's submission limit.
3.2. Please rename your photos as usernamephoto# eg Cyclops01.ppg
4. Minimum Photo resolution is 5 MP (1944 x 2592)
5. Last Photo accepted with e-mail time-stamped before 12:01AM EST Saturday the 11th of November. (Get them in by Saturday night!)
6. E85/E86 ONLY
7. NO VOTING YET! Voting will start QUICKLY after submissions are over!

Its a spectacular Fall day here on the Rock and the car is here at work with me. Drove it here top down, too. But by the time I clear out this evening it will be too dark for decent pics so I'm hoping to grab something over the weekend. I hate storing the car for winter!!

Yay! 2018 calendar!! Yay!!!

A few pics of the car with the backdrop (hills and ocean) you can get out there would be fantastic...around here all we have is trees and flat ground for the most part...we have to get creative around these parts!

There is this airport in the Halton Hills...if I take it out...going to see if I can grab a shot of the car as a plane lands or takes off...me getting creative

Now you're giving me some good ideas! I have a couple of spots in mind - will need my telephoto lens and a tripod for sure! We'll find out if the new camera was worth it LOL!

[Roadie]

Thank you for taking this on again. I want you to know that your effort is greatly appreciated. The calendars are fantastic!

[Vanne]

Thanks! Glad you like them

only 3 submissions in thus far

I planned to grab a few snaps yesterday but it tuned out to be a really dark and dreary day - not what the local weather guy predicted at all. But I think the forecast has definitely got some nice weather days before the deadline.

So what your saying is the 3 of us are shoe ins lol!!

[wdb]

I have some shots of my car that I took last weekend but they're iPhone camera pictures. I love the way the car looks in them but I assume they aren't high enough resolution to be worth submitting?

some iPhone pix will work, send it in and I'll let you know if they'll print well.

[wdb]

Thanks! I just checked. They don't meet your minimum pixels. I'll send one anyway so you can reject it yourself.

[wdb]

I was going to edit my last post but thought I'd rather bump the thread in the hopes of it getting more attention. I double checked the size of the originals and they meet muster. Email sent!

[3002 tii]

just sent mine in! =)

[StigJ]

I'll send some this weekend

[Rekla]

Pics Submitted - Looking forward to the voting!

[Huz-Z]

Here's a dumb question. I shot some pics on Saturday with my new DSLR, its a 20 megapixel Canon 70D. But the images that I will submit vary in size from only 5.5 Mb to 7.5 MB. In fact, I rejected a couple of others because they were less than 5 Mb. What's up with that? I was expecting them to be much larger files. (I know, read your camera's manual.....)
