Modern Buddy Calendar - submit your photos!
We are doing a MB Calendar!
& we need a photo of your scooter!
Here is the deal:
Zazzle allows you to create a calendar using your photos - after it is created, you can post it for sale & anyone who wants to buy one can (that way no one is buying inventory & trying to mail them out - zazzle just sends them directly to anyone who buys one)
http://www.zazzle.com/custom/calendars
The are $20 (not cheap, but I would pay that for a MB calendar!)
So we need photos of your scooter
Just post up any photos you want to be considered IN THIS THREAD by May 31st. but dont post the hi-res versions here - we will collect the hi-res versions for the actual calendar after they have been voted on
The first week of June, everyone will vote & the most popular 14 photos (12 months + front & back covers) will be used in the calendar.
Once the photos are chosen, the calendar will be built on Zazzle & anyone who wants one, will be able to visit Zazzle & purchase one.
What should your photos look like?
What ever you want (but should have a scooter in the pic)
Should you be in the photo?
If you want - totally up to you!
Do they have to be new pics?
Up to you, take a new one but if you have an older photo, feel free to submit it.
Should they have something to do with a month or season?
Thats up to you - want to get a photo of your scooter with flags & fireworks for July? Great - but the photos are NOT required to be tied to a month / season or holiday.
Is it only for buddies?
No! ALL makes & models are welcome as long as the pics are submitted by a Modern Buddy member
When should you start posting photos?
any time now... you have until May 31st to go get some great photos
What size & shape should your photos be?
Zazzle says 2850 wide x 2200 tall as a minimum resolution (but again, dont post the full resolution photos in this thread - just as long as you have them when your photos are chosen)
Also... your pics need to be wider than they are tall - we are looking for landscape not portrait photos because that is the shape of the calendar.
We can crop the pics down for you, but they should be wider than they are tall.

I'm loving the idea of a scooter calendar. I'll definitely be interested in buying one when the time comes, whether or not my scooter is in it.

Don't post your high res pics here, though. As long as you have them, that's good!ScootLemont wrote:Zazzle says 2850 wide x 2200 tall as a minimum resolution.Syd wrote:Great idea. Are there any suggestions for image size, or type?
for those of you who are not photo editing people, feel free to share what ever "shape" you photo is & we will crop it to fit the calendar shape

There are a lot of great shots in our Flickr pool, most from MB members but many of whom aren't frequent posters. A few of these images are stunning, some really fun.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/modernbuddy/
Anyone object to me asking a few people to submit their pics? I posted to the Discussion, but no one reads that. I don't!

I'm sure I have over 1000 pictures of Buddys alone,(which means about 15 good ones.) But the weather is finally starting to take a turn for the better so I plan on shooting a lot more soon.

It would be a better photo if you could either adjust the camera to make the picture darker, or (if the camera doesn't give you that option) use a lighter background so that it doesn't try to compensate for the black pavement by making the colors on the scooter so light.susann.t wrote:My entry.

Great photos already, I will submit a couple of mine. Thanks for the heads up Eric. Met my Buddy August 13th and I am at 3333.9 right now.
P.S. the flickr page is great. I always enjoy looking at new uploads.

Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring, with a shot of Sally in my garage, being spied by the painting that someone threw away in the alley behind my place.

I am going to have something. Eventually. Just resurrected my poor MBP after it was down for 3 days.

The TBOBs are nice of course. And the view is great, but there are so many photos in the world of "breathtaking views" that a photo needs something special to stand out. Seeing his face in the mirror does it here.KRUSTYburger wrote:I thought you were going to say the TBOB saddlebags... either that or the breathtaking view.TVB wrote:What "makes" this one is the reflection in the rear view mirror.JasonH wrote:Here's one from my cross country trek.
