Right, I made the commitment to do this, I better make a start on it. Life is kinda leavin me in the dust at the mo, hence not much has been said on it, but I started it, so I'm gonna finish it, and it seems like it has just about the support it needs to see it thru.

Due to the nature of time not standing still for me (I know, go figure), this first one will be a little more limited than we should be able to do, if it goes ahead next year.

Photos this time round, are only going to be accepted digitally. I don't have time to scan photos in etc. Please keep them in their native size off the camera, preferably as big as possible. The print is going to be around A4, so keep this in mind for your camera settings and selecting that winning shot.

Please keep it to your favourite shot, or few at most. If there is 2 or 3 nice shots of the same bike, or style etc, then some arty farty thing might be done, but please don't send them with this in mind. If you have several shots you think you could submit, cos you're a bit of a guru (eg Big Dave), then downsize them to something like 480 x 640 72dpi for an idea, and then send them, and say what size the original is at. I'll then keep this for the first cut and then ask for the full size version of the selected shot.

Please keep the shots as clean and as appealing as possible. Avoid dark bikes by not shooting into the sun etc. Think about lighting and shadows around the shot. Go have a look at some site for top tips (http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=317&pq-locale=en_US) on taking photos if you haven't got any already. If you need help, or don't have access to a decent camera, then PM myself, or one of the budding photographers on the site nearest to you (no point PM'ing me if you're in Chch!). I'm sure most will be able to help out on a nice day!

Email your photos to me. (bugjuicer@gmail.com) I may not reply straight away, but your contributions are what makes the site you're reading, so it's all for the best possible cause. And don't forget to mention your KB name, if it's not obvious in your bike/email addy.

First cut - the size of the photos
Second cut - the repetitive of bikes/locations/styles of shot
Third cut - location in NZ
Fourth cut - Deadline is midnight November 6. Any shots emailed after that will be rejected this time round.
Fifth cut - Senior members will get priority over newbies, but that doesn't mean not to send in photos
Sixth cut - How we see fit, 'we' being Spank, Joni and myself.

Please bear in mind -
* This could be a regular thing. If your shot isn't included in this one, then it could be considered for the next calendar. No bike will be in more than one calendar.

* As rushed as this is going to be, it's not intentional. Our call is going to be the final call, next time should be easier. We can do it differently then.


Above all, it's designed to help all the KBer's here, celebrate their glorious machines in every corner of NZ and overseas. It's meant to be fun, and a cool little project, and the underlying tones, are a big thanks to Spank who puts in more than we'll ever know, so support this - supports Spank, so we have a home.

So whatcha waiting for?

oh, btw - please keep this thread on topic and to the point. Can't be arsed reading thru 10 pages of how nice a pair of tits are. That's the other thread..

[Indiana_Jones]

Might have to get a photo done :D

-Indy

[bugjuice]

Oh, and if you have a caption for the shot too. Not your life story, but a one-liner or something, then go for it. It's not mandatory, just an optional extra/idea.. And no BS in it either, but something whitty or philosophic etc, then include it in the email with your photo


And group shots are encouraged too.. doesn't have to be a solo bike shot, so be creative with anyone else around. The more bikes in it (displayed nicely, not some random "and here we are at the beach" shot), then the better chance it has at being involved too


Also, mind out for the little things too, when taking pics.. As nice as they are, gloves and helmets on mirrors/tanks etc, just kinda spoil the shot sometimes. So look at the whole picture, not just the subject.. detail people, detail..

[Ghost Lemur]

Instead of a quote for the bike. How about having a classic KB quote for each month too. Obviously they would relate to the bike of the month, but would be very KB.

[bugjuice]

yeah, could look at doing that instead/as well as.. wanna go find 20 suitable quotes to choose from?
Might not work right, but if it does, then sweet

[sunhuntin]

will likely try and submit something. might be forced to spend another night with my guy and be on the road by 5am again to get some decent photos! lmfao

how much is the calender, and how do we go about purchasing one?

[bugjuice]

By all means, shoot away, and hope you get a decent shot - especially getting up at 5am for it!!!!

Calendars will be $15 each, and details on how to buy will be posted later. Most likely thru me or Spank aka - the site, and some may be distributed to others in the main areas like Wgtn and Chch to help with purchases etc

[RiderInBlack]

You don't have to be on you're own bike for this do you? 2 pic's I have might be interesting (have posted down sized versions resently here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=383665&postcount=6).

yep, i know.. and been around a couple myself.. but rules are rules, and I'm sure there'll be enough photos to make a hundred different calendars..
May be it might sneek a peek, who knows..

yeah, I was thinking that.. just a real big shame they aren't KBer's bikes.. but could make good fillers, so who knows..

Anyone want to get a 'power bikes' shot in some how..? May be get the cream of the crop lined up on 22 or the grid of Puke all in leathes? Could be a good shot

[WRT]

Why not incorporate it into a ride one weekend, pick a nice day, get a bunch of people together with some cameras and tour some of the landmarks in the vacinity? Ie: a bunch of auckland riders start from somewhere like one tree hill, then head out to Piha, maybe up to Muriwai or somewhere, then across to the look out above Kaipara harbour, then back down stopping on the shore (maybe devonport) for a shot with the city or the bridge in the background, and then finish up in the domain (before heading off to a pub somewhere).

There might be a better route, I just sort of picked some places randomly. Those with more artistic flair should be able to come up with a better selection, but what do you reckon to the idea?

(KBer's in each center could organise their own local tour, that way its a good day out plus those with good camera skills can help out those without)

[bugjuice]

yeah, was thinking about something like that.. We need the photos, so get cleanin an a polishin, and get organising for rides etc, or how ever you want to do it - we need your photos!

[Big Dave]

don't ask don't get.. :mellow:

Ask away - you'll have to shoulder me out of the way first.
I just asked if i could take it to Pukekohe on Sunday.

[Joni]

Hey BJ.... I have spoken to that dodgy charater down South, will forward the hight resolution pic through as soon as I get it.... reckon it will be a stunner! :niceone:

don't want it on Sunday, I want it in Jan..
Or anyone who'd be kind enough to lend me a tourer for a couple of weeks from mid Jan..


Joni, cheers. Keep the pics comin all :niceone:

[curious george]

How much to keep the rest from being shown 'eh?
I wish Chris had a better paint job on his bike, wouda turned out so much better
I'll find some better ones later.

I've had a couple of racing pics sent thru already, so may be if there's anough of them, then we could put together a 'KB racers' page or something, to contribute and recognize the talent around..

And I said riding bikes, not riding bugjuice...

How about that pic of LB crashing? (Not a pt to LB) It looked cool. Forgotten which thread it was recently posted in.

As for the quotes. There is a classic quotes thread floating around (think it may even be a sticky somewhere). Not sure how regularly it's been added to. Maybe this could be the call to get people adding their favs to bring it up to date.

[HDTboy]

I've got a few on a CD which were taken by Trev, I'll drop them by your place on Saturday unless you want to meet me in Wellsford for 16, then 22

[bugjuice]

cool, I'll have a peek at it. I'll let you know nearer saturday..

[WRT]

MOTOXXX . . .

If you want, next time you head out to the track I have a digital camera plus mounting bracket for a TLR, sits nicely in under the right front indicator. Pic quality isnt outstanding (the whole things only the size of a pack of cigarettes), but it'll record an hour and a half, the position is mint (especially for Pukekohe) and it does a good job of capturing the engine sound.

Pic gets a bit wobbly at speeds over 250ish, (as it in the image itself warps, but the camera stays very stable). More than welcome to mount it on, would love to get some footage from round the track. And it was cheap as chips, so doesnt matter if it gets damaged.

[aff-man]

my pics are submitted but I would really like to get some more or me doing some stuff i've been practicing latley..

Maybe have on or two of the months as stunt collages (sp) or something??

[WRT]

And is this pics of current rides only? Got some minters of the TLR when it was still, err, mint . . .

[R6_kid]

Definitely need one of your "Team MILF" bike. Classic KB is that bike:devil2:

Big Dave has all of 'em in decent size... i'd have to be reluctant and say that it would be one of the ones with jill on it that look the best

[FEINT]

OoOoOOO .....!!!!! I assume arty shots are prefered over track shots?

[White trash]

with WT's permission, that wheelie would most likely be a winner..
could you get me that Buel for a couple of weeks in Jan by any chance? ;)

Knock yaself out.

Caption must read something like "It aint braggin'........." or "F.T.P" or "Some people just ride like wankers."

[RiderInBlack]

Big Dave has all of 'em in decent size... i'd have to be reluctant and say that it would be one of the ones with jill on it that look the bestVery appropriate the Jill looks the best on the "Team MILF" bike I would have thought (I wonder if she knew that:wait:).

[James Deuce]

they all hate me anyways so why try!?

Wouldn't be so bad if you'd actually picked an attractive woman, instead of a blob of vaguely latina silly putty.

[Big Dave]

Big Dave has all of 'em in decent size...

Whilst i can't dispute the validity of the statement, I do wonder how you know?

[bugjuice]

*bomp*..

hope you guys are making the best of the good weather!!!
don't forget your cameras!

[Joni]

Got a few good ideas while I have been down South...

Kit - will catch up with you when Im back in Akl. :niceone:

[Da Bird]

Here are a couple of pics of my German Shepherd, Kyza, when he was 8 weeks old on my Honda ST1100.

Pics are probably a bit small for a calendar but thought I would share anyway...

[Da Bird]

Nice photo of a great lil' dog on a mint bike. Tell me though.. I'm sure nodman's light on the back is red??

Yeah, all the rear lights now are red. We inherited 2 ST1100's from Wellington and for some reason they had blue strobe lights on the rear. Don't think you would see any with blue lights on the rear now.

BC.

[Firefight]

Cool photo BC


F/F :niceone:

[SpankMe]

I think we need more than just photos of peoples bikes parked in the driveway or by the side of the road, but bikes with recognizable NZ scenery in the background or bikes actually being used in racing, off-roading or pictures of group rides.

A picture of a police bike with the copper pointing his radar at some approaching bikes would be good, even if it is a setup.

This is all I could find in my photo collection. The three 2003 SV1000s colors.

[WRT]

Not sure they are calender material, but was riding back from Whangapoa on Sunday and snapped a couple of pics. First is on the road between Whangapoa and Coromandel (excuse the wet roads and the shifty look on my face), looking out east (had been raining there earlier). Second was taken in the sunshine at Kawakawa Bay where we stopped at the beach for a bit.

That's all crims need - police dogs on bikes!! The ultimate weapon..
cute ;)

Spank, awesome pic, as always
WRT, the second pic is probably more of what we'd be looking for. Don't need it right now, but you have a high res version? Else we could quite easily catch up and get some more. You know when you own a bike like that, you should really contain your excitement too. You look over welmed in that first pic, I've never seen you so happy and excited!

who can remember that ride and where the pics were taken ?

F/F

[WRT]

Yeah, I dunno, just got carried away with the moment I guess . . . and have the original of all my pics in 2592x1944.

Got over enthusiastic with taking pics on the weekend, got a new avatar and profile pic too . . .

[RiderInBlack]

Especially if they're all doing wheelies... Death, LB and WT? You up for it?How about setting it up for the Puke Open Day this Sat. Will the bosses let you take the Cop Bike to the track, BikerCop? You know, for equitment testing:msn-wink:

[sAsLEX]

bikes with recognizable NZ scenery in the background

My thoughts exactly http://saslex.orcon.net.nz/CBR250RR.jpg ............

[WRT]

Well the road is wet you know

Not that you can see me in this pic, but I was smiling more here, as I'm sure you would understand ;)

[bugjuice]

might have just found our cover shot people!!
need to reshoot in another location tho. The driveway isn't the best of sexy spots, must say..

[WRT]

Yeah, had just been out polishing the bikes (yes, the bikes, not anything else) and the *ahem* landlady kindly offer to drap herself all over them for a couple of shots.

[Big Dave]

thought I would share anyway...

Cool dog.
The best dog we ever had was a well bred shep. Got him to class 4 obedience. Cancer got him aged 12.
I'd love to replace our aging Dalmation with another one - when its time comes - but I don't have the yard or the inclination to deal with the mountains of turd they produce any more.
Maybe I'll just look at your pics instead. taa.

[Karma]

Here's my line of thinking... camera is a bit crap but you get the idea..

[Devil]

Well, I was organising a camera and everything you see, now that I've got all the body kit for the Speed Four, but it, uhhh kinda had a brief altercation with a steep gravel driveway during the weekend.

umm not sure.......

yes but maybe pre orders more than last time so not too many spares are produced, and maybe get it in to KiwiRider or something so it could be ran through their readership as well??


cough and sponsership from them/ they could include one with every subscription

lets make it bigger and betterer!

edit: by "lets" I mean you mainly!

Edit: it would appear my last post in this thread occured during my last exam period...........

[bugjuice]

is it worth a new thread and poll?

i remember the last one was pretty close cut, and that's back at a time I was posting a 100 a day, last time I managed to log on here was weeks ago. Not sure if I've got heaps of time for it at the moment, but it could be a way off yet, so who knows..

[sAsLEX]

Maybe a hands up thread for organisers and commitee/panel of judges!?

And Big Dave is only allowed one picture!

[Virago]

..........And Big Dave is only allowed one picture!
Oooh, Nooooo!!!! How will he choose?

Okay, time to get that new camera I've been promising myself for the last year.....:yes:

I didn't have any in the last one did I?

[crashe]

Well, I'm still waiting on Buggy and Ms Buggy to come and pick up the tiles that she wanted, way back when the calendars first came out... and they were going to drop off a calendar...

Oh well I guess they dont want the tiles and I have given up on getting a calendar.:zzzz: :zzzz:

So maybe next year aye Buggy... :whistle:

[sAsLEX]

I didn't have any in the last one did I?

Dont think so but you should, but only one
