I know it's a bit late now, but the UK Calibra Club always had their annual Calendar with photos submitted from the members rides.

Maybe we should of done one as well?

Something to think about in 2011. :p

As we know, all our Opels will be collectables thanks to Holden going for the Korean imports instead.

Ok im doing a callout then!! anyone who wants their car to be in the 2010 Opelaus calender Please say so and post only 1 image of your car (your favourite that you think would best suit hanging up on someones wall, if you photo was taken by someone like pauly and you dont have it please contact him to get it.) I will devide the months evenly between different types of opels, so its not all just black astra H's from jan to october and then a couple of calibras slapped on the end...

If there is not enough cars to make up 12 months, i will select pics from peoples build/lab threads and use them... If there is too many cars i will number them and draw from a hat (i would do voting but that would take forever and ever, so its all down to chance)

If there is a certain month you want your car displayed please say so (first in best dressed)

Deadline is 16th of January


This Thread is for posting of pictures only... see poll and other thread named "Would you purchase a 2010 Opelaus Calender" to show interest in getting one.. not here!!

yet so far we have, astra, astra, astra, corsa, astra, calibra, astra, astra, astra, calibra, astra, ???
i think thats pretty shit...

main models on this forum:
astra G
astra h
vectra b
calibra
corsa c
vectra c
corsa b

so why not have 2 of each of the top 5 and 1 each of the bottom 2 (if any one posts them)

IMO:
G - CNBLU & Chrissn
H - Rory & Ain
Vec B - Me & Nuggz
Cali - Pete & Adz
Corsa C - Nico & Pauly
Vec C - maybe chrismarriot
Corsa B - maybe scotty gsi

just seems a fairer way of doing it to me

gmonkey

its more a fact of collecting photos of all those people, photos that are large enough 3000+ pixels width

Shay

garunteed not hard at all, considering most will still be comin from pauly

maybe drop the corsa b and ad another H to make you happy

Adam92, Next time definitely use a proper camera! Try to be aware of where the sun is, you should never be shooting directly into the sun if its avoidable. A tripod is a great tool to increase the quality of the photo aswell. 5mp isnt bad, but a camera phone has such poor quality its ridiculous even to give them MP values.

It looks like an alright landscape you have shot in there, perhaps come closer to the water if possible and wait till sunset, you will have the water doing you wonders colour wise if you get it at the right time! For example nugzz photo above is due to sunlight, the orange highlight in the windows behind has threw a nice change in colour over the bonnet which gives the whole image a more interesting depth.

Keep up the good work, it takes alot of time and patience but youl get there (its taken me 12 hours to stage a major works before :p)

The photo of Nico's corsa in post #77 was taken on my Nokia N85 ;) 5MP camera.... Yes the quality isnt fantastic, the CCD would be microscopic. Youve just gotta know how to use it and what lighting it likes. Plus a little of CS3

i'm still new so tell me to butt out if you'd like but what sort of target audience would you be looking at?? coz if most members are men how bout an opel aus babe search??? obviously not for this year coz you wanna use photos that have already been taken but maybe for next time if the girls were keen to pose with the cars?? just a thought totally understand and appreciate if you wanna keep the focus on the cars i guess it depends what sort of feel you were going for with the whole thing too... could even extend it out to just owners in general with their cars???

Can we just confine all the cross dressing members into only one picture to avoid constant mental scaring through the year?

ChrisMaz

No one said they had to be smutty... Perhaps they just want to STAND next to the cars... Although I feel most females would feel so attracted to the hot shape of our cars they might want to lay across them....

Yes I am absolutely full of shit :D

Just a thought.

Maybe to be fair for every member on the forum to at least get their ride onto the Calender, why not each member submit a profile shot of their ride (taken waist height), maybe pointing to the right? Either night or day, doesn't matter.
Then do a collage of them tiled on the cover?
Maybe each member place on the bottom left hand corner with their User name?

This then irons out the good and bad pics, you cant go wrong there.

been there did that.. killed my computer in the process (HDD shat itself :( ) 100+ layers in photoshop later and i was half done...

i went through about 8 pages of members build threads got pic of everyones car and made a murial up and desaturated it all except a few and spelt out opelaus.com in it.... started to look good.. shame about the hdd only took my 3 hours to get half way :p pretty pissed


like this?? :p trust me i tried and gave up...

Yup, but just a single side profile, nothing fancy. Get's everyone's ride onto the front cover. :)

Sorta like my Sig Pic, not as wide.

tail lights too :p

yeah, we'll give it a go at craigs if he doesnt mind. workshop where i did it wasnt really ideal. not a lot of room, and a lot of distractions in the background.
would be harder to use colours cos they're not 240V

well craig has blue led work lights aswell.. and wire from my led strips is reasonably long and can alway make it longer, just run it off the car in use.. :p
