2008 Calendar Submissions, 6gc.net calendar Options

[playr158]

I'm going to start collecting photos for calendar consideration.

HOW TO SUBMIT

a) DEAD LINE TO SUBMIT- OCT 19th by midnight (anything after will be auto deleted)

b) EMAIL THEM TO districtymotorsports@gmail.com

c) HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS ONLY

I'll then have a photo voting thread up for top 12 votes
which will close no later than 10/31/07 mid night and will go to production

A "style" voting thread will come up with in the next 1-1.5 weeks

(to get this started, if someone else wants to step up and do it then let me know and pm coomer)

An 8MP camera will deliver a picture size ITRO 3260 X 2440 pixels (about 2.5 - 3mb file size). obviously the less pixels the camera, the smaller the picture can be, it wants to be as big as you camera can take, if your camera is only 2MP then it will struggle to produce an image that big without looking poo.... so just make it as large as you can with the camera you have.

It also depends upon how big the calender is going to be????

Increasing image size in photoshop will also dramatically reduce image quality.

A 4 MP camera is more than enough to have a quality 8.5x11. 2200 x 1700 pixels is enough.

All picture need a little modification though.

A 6 megapixel camera set at high quality will be sufficient; 4 MP should be set at the highest, it's not great for blowing up pictures too big. The point is here that the images MUST be 300dpi. If they're digital, then obviously they'll be 72 dpi, so the images need to be as large as possible in terms of dimension so that when the resolution is increased in photoshop, the physical dimensions can be reduced thus recovering image quality.

As for calendar size, 12" x 12" panels are standard. So you want the images to be high quality to fill that 12 x 12.
