2020 311s Datsun Roadster Calendar

Post by ted heaton »

2020 311s Datsun Roadster Calendar pictures can be submitted now through Oct 31.

I am collecting the roadster pictures for Jared. I will forward ALL pictures for his selection.
We WILL have the Calendar done by Dec 1!.
( We say this every year but hopefully it will be true this year!. :roll: :shock: :D)

Here are the rules.

Pictures taken in 2019.

Pictures submitted between Oct 1 and Oct 31. NO pictures will be accepted after Oct 31.

Submit as many pictures as you want.

Any 2019 roadster picture can be submitted even if the roadster has been in a prior Calendar.

Send pictures as jpeg attachments (not embedded) to my email. tcheaton@hotmail.com.
If you only have phone pictures that send embedded that will be OK.

Do not send pictures by text or as responses to this thread. They will not be accepted.
Do NOT send pictures directly to Jared.

Subject line should be "2020 roadster calendar pictures from (your name)"

Send pictures at the highest resolution possible. Jared has found that pictures under 3 MB can not be expanded/modified
and still have clarity. You can send pictures of less resolution but there is less chance of them being used.

Send info with each picture. Jared does not have time to go back and ask for picture info if yours is selected.
The more info, the better. Your name and 311s handle, year/model and info about the roadster, date, location, "story", etc.
Pictures with info may take preference and be selected over an "equal" picture without info.
Send the picture info as an attachment if possible. Else write it in the email.

I will send confirmation of receipt of pictures.

Three things to consider for your roadster picture submissions.

1. One roadster in the picture.
Generally, but not always, a picture of a solo roadster is selected for a Calendar month.
The calendar month page features a roadster and an owner and Jared likes to pick individual roadster pictures.

2. Roadster needs to be BIG!
This is a roadster calendar and as you know from the past Jared likes to fill the page with the roadster.

3. NO people in the picture. Jared most often prefers pictures of roadsters without people.

Do we want a 2020 Calendar?

The month is half gone and I have received pictures from only 5 members.
We sold over 100 calendars last year.
So those 100 should want their roadster in the calendar.
Maybe the calendar has run its course.
If I have to pester folks to send in pictures, there is not much interest.
If we do not get enough pictures by the end of October, we will cancel the calendar for 2020 and try again next year.

It's hard, because so many of the pictures I like do not meet the guidelines..

Only one roadster..

.

I mean, I love this photo, but it is almost as much of the Z as the roadster, even though the only thing in the frame is roadster..

Maybe I will send a few that do not meet guidelines and see what happens..

I have known RCMike for some time and
never thought of him as being overly concerned with following "guidelines".
:lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :shock: :shock:

Mike. SEND those pictures!

My goodness. Ted, what I have become!?!! Lol! I just read your post and I fear we have grown too strict in our “guidelines“ lol! It’s OKAY to hit me up directly if you really want to. And IF I recall the correctly, the picture that started this whole thing had a Z in it, right? Anyways, send us what you got! If you have to text it or snail mail me a flash drive that is all good! We need those photos!!! And we WILL have a 2020 calendar. (I’ll go though the old rejects if I have to!) And I just got a new Xerox too, so the quality should be a bit nicer too! (Not quite as over saturated and I think it will handle the lower contrast photos a bit better)

I hope you guys are all doing well out there. Life has been full for me. My girls are are 4 and almost 2! Alice is doing GREAT! No signs of any trouble from the scares we had when she was born. :) and I’ve actually been driving the roadster quite a bit this summer! 😁

And I like Mikes shot! I’ll use it! Generally good photos are over 3mb, but if you have something smaller send it to us. If the compression is turned up...a 1mb file could still be a high enough resolution to print well.
