Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Seems as some folks have not seen the picture submission info in the older thread.
So here it is up front in a new thread.

2018 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!.

Here are the rules.

Pictures taken in 2017.

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

Submit as many pictures as you want.

Any 2017 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.

Subject line should be "2018 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.

Cover photo. We will attempt to have the cover photo include multiple roadsters.
Send any good roadster group pictures from drives, shows or meets you attended in 2017.
Send as a separate Email with subject "2018 calendar cover pictures from (your name)" and provide info about the picture.

"Most likely to be selected" roadster calendar pictures.

Two things to consider for you 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.
We could have a fine debate about the artistic merit of this type picture as compared for example to some
of FISH's beautiful trip pictures which feature a small roadster against a large scenic background. BUT
this is a Roadster calendar.

Ted if the pics are big enough they can cut the car out of the scenery, isn't it?

Hi Peter,
Got your pictures.
Yes, with pictures taken at high resolution, Jared can manipulate them if he wants that roadster picture in the calendar.

Hi Ted - can you confirm if you received the photos I sent? Thanks.

I will be taking some pictures this weekend. Should have them to you before the deadline. Fingers crossed I make the calendar this year!

WEEK 2 update.

STILL not many pictures yet!
I have only received pictures from about 15 members.
Hardly enough to pick from. Everyone who submits will get a picture in the calendar at this rate.
Where are pictures from the other 2985 members?
ONLY 2 weeks left. Lets get with it.
Help me out here. I will be fired as Calendar assistant if I do not get lots more pictures from you.
Why I can even consider lowering the bar and accepting picture with tops up and gas caps on crooked!
Oh the shame.

Please educate me on proper gas cap orientation. I would hate to accidentally offend someone:)
