Anyone interested in sending in Trucks for a 2015 Calendar?

If anyone would like to be in the it email me an image no smaller than 3000x2800 pixels.  Images not meeting this criteria will not be considered.  Pictures re-sized to this will not be considered as they will be too grainy.  Ideally you need to take this with a camera with the resolution set at the highest level as phone pictures generally don't cut it.
Keep in mind your surroundings, pictures with people, houses etc generally detract from the photo.  Trucks Centered in the photo with some border to play with is preferred.

I want to take pictures but we are getting that storm in california that's been on the news. There's water everywhere and my phone keeps ding-ing away with flood and high window advisories. Soon as it clears I'll take some and send them in. Thanks to all these flooded streets and puddles the underside of the truck is getting a nice bath every time I drive.

I could send a pick of my restored 78,but back ground would not be optimal,with bad weather hanging around ,won't have a chance for another pic
Title: Re: Anyone interested in sending in Trucks for a 2015 Calendar?
Post by: Captkaos on December 13, 2014, 09:25:27 am
Describe not optimal?  As long as it doesn't have half a house and part of a pool and your neighbors yard with them bbq'ing and waving at you anything can be staged right.

Still need more trucks guys and girls. if you have something that may fit the criteria then email then to Capt. if you can’t find a picture with a good background go to your local Wal-Mart or store and take a picture of your truck with a brick background. Even pictures with lakes or woods behind them are good. But were looking for pictures doesn’t matter if it’s a daily driver, show truck or an old farm truck.  (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
Let’s see some trucks

you should

It's a great variety of trucks
And I like it because its real pictures of real trucks
Trucks that are actually driven and used



Not trailer queens with a lot of photoshop and retouching of pics that were taken in a studio

I spent about 30 minutes taking pics in various spots in my yard and wasn't sure any were going to turn out

The sun was almost down and I thought the light was from the wrong direction

When I loaded the pics on my iPad and could look em over  one or two turned out great
The sun was almost set and was actually shining UNDER the truck which wound up looking really cool

Anyhoo, thanks for putting the calendar together Cap'n

Everyone we've shown it to loved it !
