I was just thinking we have a lot of photographic talent on here and a lot of memers no. I was just thinking that we should do a calander like we were thinking of in the begging of the year. The old thread is HERE.

Only thing that sucks is we can't really capture all the seasons but we can get Summer, Fall, and Winter in. We can fake Spring somehow. We really should try and get this going and start seting up some locations to shoot. A combination of cruises and members photos has gotten me thinking about this again. Just post up thoughts and ideas for this.

Sample Layout

I think this sounds like a great idea! It would be best to think of if you want each month to have one Mazda or a group of Mazda's... I can't think of a way to do a calendar without upsetting someone who doesn't get what they expected. I would love to help out... I don't even care if my car is in a month, just being apart of it would be awesome. hope it works out!

Below are my ideas from the other thread. IIRC this accomidated almost all the ideas we had. Any one chime in and present your ideas. This will need to be a team effort. I will try and work on a Sample page and layout and post it up so you all can have an idea of what it will look like.

That way it shows off the club as a whole and doesn't single anyone out. Also I was thinking that the little picture ideas (AKA. Thumbnails) on the bottom of a main pic would be good to. For the main pic, It would be best IMO if we get 2-3 or 4 of the most visual cars of each modle in the pic. EX. One 8 being the focal point and 1-3 in the background. For the 7's although they are different types they are still 7's. (I don't think we have and 3rd GEN.7's that have shown up to meets yet.) since there are only 3 7's that are on here constantly you all could just have one page. The nicer one, not sure whos it is, in the front and the other 2 in the back.

I hope this is making sense.

Back to the thumbnails. For the models where there are more than 3 cars or cars of the same color we could use the thumb nails. Let me use the 6's right now. This includes the speed6. We have Lee, Guido, ect .... who have 6's/S6's. Well lee's and guidos are both white. Pointless to have two whites in the main pic. So we kick Guido out because he sucks. and put him down as a thumbnail. Lee is the main focus in the big pic. Say we have 3 red 6's, The nicer will go in the big pic with lee and the rest thumbnailed. Kinda get it? Hard to explain when your writing it down. LOL. This would be true for the 8's also and 3's. It wouldn't make sense to showcase 3 Titanium Grey 8's in the main pic so we choose one and thumbnail the rest. Also, the cars chosen for the main shot would get their own thumbnails.

If this makes any sense let me know. If it doesn't let me know. keep Ideas coming. We have a whole year to plan.[/b][/quote]

Very cool. Let me know what you need so we can get this going

We should do a bikini/speedo calendar with members on their cars. :P

We are gonna need a lot. Like photographers. We have like what 5 members that take awesome pics. We need people to volunteer their cars and times to make it out to a shoot. Ideas of shoot locations and which cars would do which shoot. Dates set up throught the year probably till Nov for different shoots. I'm probaly making it more work than it is but it should be a pain but in the end worth it. We can even take some pics from our carshow in Sept for the Sept month?

Ummm...yeah...

I'm game for this. I think it's a good idea. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out too.

I'm down for this.

I'm game for this....

Only if its a thong speedo

Are you going to use CafePress for these? Or are you using another type of service? I have an MPIX account and a SnapFish account.

Only if you're posing in it....LMAO

I'm in! Shutterfly is a good place for calendars. Let me buzz in Russ's ear to see if he can give us a discount. No promises yet though....

Oh...and just for thought...perhaps we should do smaller groups on different days. I.E. Colorado Springs on one day, 3's on another day, 8's on another, 6's on another...After last year's photo shoot that we did, I think it'll be harder to do a larger group this time.

I have no idea. If you two would like to take care of that part I'd appreciate it. Like I said it doesn't sound like a lot of work but for one person (ie. me) it will be. So I'll take any help you all want to give.

That's what I was thinking. Find out what locations we want. We need 12. Preferably some city and some nature (mountain) shots. We also need to find out which locations we want which cars to be in. We don't have 12 different models so maybe a couple of pages could be a mixture of mazdas. IDK. I'll try and get a sample page from pics I find in the gallery and my HD after the cruise tonight.

Just another thought. How many months into 2010 do we want to go into? Until Feb then we need 14 locations.
