After taking all the photos required passing on those finalised proofs to a company specialising in making calendars and having it colated into one 2007 Calendar.Costs to be determined and I'd ask (if theres enough interest) for some donations to cover studio hire and production costs with any profits donated back too the site.I'm sure it's something that could do well (even in the commercial market) with the XR6 Turbo and Typhoons and Tornados being such popular product.So I ask of the members and admin/mod team now, do you think it would be something worthwhile doing?Hit me back, I'm willing to answer any questions regarding it.Cheers,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you'd be getting up round 5k+ for an all day shoot...Knowing the quality of your photo's some outdoor stuff would be just as good if not better with a bit of scenery around it.Just an idea but what if each state was to chip in for you to take a weekend flight and get together for group shots and maybe a poll to pick some car's or shots we'd like to see on the calendar....

What is he now, a Xerox machine?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah that's what you call a person that runs a printing machine - you call them a printer.

I know quite a few models which generally will charge their time out for some good quality pictures or prints.I understand the concern about the printing costs... something to be looked into.As for studio hire... I'm working through the possibility in creating a working studio in one of my fathers work sheds... it's plenty big enough for an sized car and light rig... however it would mean bringing the cars to the location...However, outdoors shots are still possible... still food for thought at this stage. Good positive feedback though... we'll get something out...Cheers,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Farrelly Brothers more you sense of humour?Then again I found something on another forum about myself most amusing when you threatened to sue for Libel so maybe you don't have a sense of humour?I see you're deleting away like crazy already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to keep in mind that there are lots of wives, girlfriends and kids associated with this forum. Just about every car calender has a half naked female on it. If you need people use the real ones who own and drive the cars.BE ORIGINAL Mattsons photography is brilliant, and more so unique by his ability to capture an ambience in the great outdoors.with some planning and quick moving TOP IDEA!!What are the legalities??shazzyI think its a top idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
