AVD comp - calender - now done $18

ClassicVW(pacific) · 2004-09-24T06:11:51+00:00

Please all entries by E-mail to ClassicVWpacific@aol.com We put the following idea to Jim, who has replied and suggested we put it to members for thier feedback. Hi Jim, Have been mulling over on a thought I had, I dont know whether you would be interested or if you have already done something similar. How about a members show and shine, it would be more of a photographic skills competition really. Members post a (1) photo of their vehicle(s) trying to highlight what makes theirs special, or their vehicle with a fantastic backdrop. Maybe not just a normal everyday photo of a car Then a voting system by members to pick the best photo or photos split into types. We would be willing to sponsor trophies or vouchers as I am sure others would too. Would appreciate your thoughts If this would cause an increased workload for you, I would gladly accept emailed pictures and I would get together a judging panel from my local area to pick the winner(s). Its just a bit of fun and truly national, maybe an excuse for everyone to get clicking. Good advertising for aussieveedubbers as I am sure VWMA would be interested too Cheers Roy Reply here or give us your suggestions on ClassicVWpacific@aol.com [Edited on 24-9-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 2-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 15-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 15-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)]:vader [Edited on 19-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 9-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 20-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 27-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)]

Quite a few cameras won't be able to produce a pic with a high enough resolution to print well, even though they look great on screen.

Generally accepted "print" resolution is 300DPI.
Therefore @ 30cm x 30cm @ 300DPI you'd need about 12MP of image. Kind of out of reach of the average consumer still *cough*

Maybe a postcard calender would be more suiteable?

Lokita and I have printed off quite a number of 6 x 4's from my 3MP digicam and they've turned up great, 7 x 4's also quite nice, but by the time you get to 8 x 10's its starting to need about 1 foot viewing distance. Given the low end digi cam resolution now a days is 3MP and 5MP is becoming more common, I'd say maybe a 7 x 4 based calender could be the best approx size.

*offers assitance on any preping for print work and obtaining prices etc*
