Need a bit more pizaz than this Neil.... come on, get with it brother!

:wari:<== wari style!

[Quasievil]

maybe some more inspiring bikes would be good:niceone:

[NZsarge]

Damn! knew I should have taken my bike up to the snow for a photo op the other day. :cold: On second thought... nah bugger that!

[NZsarge]

maybe some more inspiring bikes would be good:niceone:

Such as?
...........

[SpankMe]

Just to note. A picture of your bike parked in your driveway does not make for a good calendar picture. Big Dave has a post somewhere with instructions for taking a good bike pic.

[Joni]

Yup and washing on the line or scrappy building material etc in the background does not cut it either - I was stunned at how much of this I used to get with submissions... :girlfight:

edit: Even got one with the dog taking a dump on the grass next to the bike.... errrr ok!

[jrandom]

send them thru to calendar@kiwi.biker.co.nz

calendar@kiwi.biker.co.nz, or calendar@kiwibiker.co.nz?

[Grub]

You plumping for 300dpi, landscape only, minimum 3000pixels wide etc? Or you just going to sort them out when they arrive?

[jrandom]

Presumably you preferably want the raw digital camera data, and any cropping, colour adjustment, etc will be done during layout?

[Big Dave]

I'd prefer to look at lower res proof images first (say 1024px) and make contributors aware that the full size image has to be available if it's selected.

If you don't have the wherewithal to resize and stuff - then just bung it through anyway.

Not my call though.

[Quasievil]

Such as?
...........

I think the concept and the idea is great and the people do an amazing job ..............blah blah ( get that outta the way)

But

maybe not a GN250.
Is it a calender for bikes or egos? if bikes I want to see some inspirational bikes race bikes, action shots, project bikes completed that look great, whitetrash knee down, parking a GN250 infront of a lake and making it april well snoooooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee (not sure if that was the shot but thats my memory)

never brought a calender as they arent very ........well ........cool to say the least.

So make them cool and they will sell.

just my 2 cents

This is how you take a good photo of a bike.

The only problem with that is you won't know if it's "cool" or not until you've bought one.
The big problem is one person's idea of cool might do absolutely nothing for the next person, you get caught between a rock and a hard place trying put one of these things together and I think by and large the effort "photo" wise on last years calendar was pretty good really and the effort in putting it altogether was unreal!

I think there is definitely a place for static shots provided the scenery and bike are interesting enough.
When was the last time you picked up a calendar in a shop and really like every photo? Can't remember the last time I found a calendar like that. Can't please all the people all the time, if you could you'd be rolling in money that's for sure.

[James Deuce]

I find it difficult to take anything other than non-static shots.

I really should do something about that "no friends" thing.

[Quasievil]

FHM calender ?
Swimsuit Illustrator.

Sorry couldnt help me self. Yeah I know and youre right to, I just wanted to cast an opinion.

Its got to be inspiring thats all, if you want people to pay money, its got to be good. When I turn the page to a new month and see a GN I kinda think thats not really the way to go, but yes each to their own for sure.

[Joni]

Quasi we chose the shots, so we can please all riders not just the sports bike boys - variety is what we were after... sorry if we did not meet your expectations.

That GN was voted in by all people who had a vote, it was not just one persons opinion... So it stayed!

FWIW Joni, I liked that pic. Like you so rightly state, not everyone has a super fast sprotsbike. Some members here are just starting out and their mighty GN is their pride and joy!

The sale of these calendars help to fund the site, I have no problem paying a bit of money to do so.

Now if you want a couple of suggestions on how it would work better in our household, as in being able to read the numbers without walking right up to it and being able to write on the dates, then whistle out. Still no complaints. I always thought this was a site for all NZ motorcyclists, therefore the KB calendar should reflect that statement.

Good luck Cajun! PM me if you need any help.

[Big Dave]

From $100+gst I'll do a publication quality set around Auckland.
No guarantee they make the calendar however.

[James Deuce]

It's the wobbling that does me in. But I have a new camera with anti-shake, so I should be good now.

must say Quasi that GN pic was pretty outstanding .. never seen a bike so clean with all the shiney bits gleaming .. so wot its not my cuppa tea but still a bike & damn good shot .. glad it made the calender

So did you buy this years Calander or not?

Outsatnding pics is I ask for, and as long as the binding does not let go, then my money is well spent..... will buy again.

[Virago]

Traditionally, it is a calendar about KBers, for KBers. From that point of view, it is very successful. If you want a narrow-minded, bike type specific calendar, I'm sure you'll find something better in the shops.


...never brought a calender as they arent very ........well ........cool to say the least.

So make them cool and they will sell...

Define "cool", and get everyone to agree?

If you don't want to buy one, that's fine.

It's a shame that so many people lose sight of what the calendar is actually about.

I didnt actually. forgot about that one. I have nearly 50000 photos on my PC. the forgotten highway run with dogs, meanie and Yod was the first that came to mind.


That photo is awesome


I thought so. Lets hope others do too.

[Mom]

It's the wobbling that does me in. But I have a new camera with anti-shake, so I should be good now.

Back in the day I used to find puting one foot on the ground while lying down stopped the wobbles enough to....

Oh :doh: you were talking about photos :o

[Rashika]

FWIW, I actually thought the GN shot was very nicely done. So what that it is a GN, for a whole lot of people it is one of their earliest rides and probably holds some sentimental value... and on the other side it was one of the cleanest bikes I have EVER seen! The owner should be proud ;)

And I for one get a bit sick of seeing plastic all the time, racebikes are nice but they often look the same: different bike & racer but same look. So go for some unusual angles in your shots if you want to be considered ( I like the top down one this year), or some good KB group race shots...

I loved the dirt shot too, that was probably my fav shot, and I am not into dirt bikes... who cares what sort of bike it is honestly? I take the skill of the photographer anyday on capturing a great moment, over some staged pic... tho they can be nice too.

Get out there people and do ya damndest to get some great shots, you've got till October (I think? Cajun?) ...and if you have any ideas/things you'd like to see, send us those ideas as well. We wont necessarily be able to do many things but can look into it anyway.
Cheers people!

I realise what its about raising money for KB, as a long time financal contributor to KB I understand this, BUT
How much profit did this calender make after costs ??

And because it is the traditional way, is it the best way, has it achieved the best leverage of KB member dollars, or can it be refined to increase the sales ???

I dunno, Im not involved in it, just trying to offer some opinion constructively.

Im not fighting FFS

[Joni]

How much profit did this calender make after costs ??Just under a $1000.00... and that means its quite a few months of KB expenses for Spank! So does it do what is needed? Yes... I think so! :Police:

[Rashika]

oh yeah and the shots dont have to be recent ones... if you have an awesome shot from a while back send it in.

I like to see a bit of variety in the calendar, after all it really is meant to have something that most people on KB will like, so it has to cater to HUGELY varied tastes.

And from what I have seen over the last few years, its more about raising KB awareness to non kbers and giving ya something nice (and with a kiwi motorbike flavour) to put on your wall (and for your workmates to comment on... believe me I get quite a few good comments from it) than just about raising money.

+1.
The photographer was organised enough to take (what appeared to be) an entire cleaning set with them! Great shine, nice background!

[Gubb]

Good excuse to clean my bike I guess. Maybe this can be the first picture of a Hyosung in a Calender anywhere, ever.

Does it matter how much profit was made? Maybe you should do one. You could have the great Sportsbike calendar with Whitetrash getting his knee down on every corner of Puke. :ride:



Oh that's right....you'd have to double up on some corners.:doh:

I got photos of Jimmie getting knee down bum down, hi down, head down...........bike down.

I've just sent off a couple you should like then.

That would be really cool. I may even send a few of my blue lovely. She does not shine so much anymore, it is more of a glow...

[Goblin]

I got photos of Jimmie getting knee down bum down, hi down, head down...........bike down.Then why not submit them?

[Kornholio]

Why not have one of those smaller flip up calendars with a photo for every day of the year... that way you can get all sorts of stuff in there...maybe a whole month dedicated to White trash binning :D

[Quasievil]

I did, but not sure who took this one, but just a case in point this is what I mean by inspiring !
look at the action..............look at the peoples faces , this is the best pic Ive seen for ages (from NZ anyway)
I would look at that for a month.

[Virago]

In order to maximise our riding pleasure, this year we could perhaps add two extra summer months to the calendar. These could be called Biketober and Ridember. :wari:

Well it must have been you Im picking, I mean you where there with camera in hand and all.
Mate thats a shot to end all shots I say !! I just love the look of excitment on peoples faces its brilliant

[Tony.OK]

[CookMySock]

Even got one with the dog taking a dump on the grass next to the bike.... errrr ok!Nah that would be hilarious!! Not your typical calendar AT ALL !! Such a calendar would be worth good money to sell, and yours would be the ONLY calendar that would grace the smoko room of many many businesses.

Bikes parked in the driveway can be cool ;

Would a photo of a Hyosung GT250R be seriously considered or should I stop wasting everyone's time?
I think it is THE bike for 2007-2008 as it is responsible for getting more people into biking then anything else during those years.

[Rashika]

ANYTHING will be considered... dont dismiss your bike cos it is not one of the millions of GSXR's out there :msn-wink: Hey even a Buell made it one year :clap:

Just make it a good, interesting, focused and well composed shot. By well composed I mean NOT some tiny bike way off in the distance with lots of other stuff around distracting from it... and one that CAN be printed professionally, i.e. as high resolution as you can get it, mobile phone shots just wont cut it guys.

And of course anything like that shot of WT would be considered, they just gotta be submitted... FWIW, its a funky shot, I like it! :niceone:

[nodrog]

Don't listen to him ... the calander pics are choosen on composition and on the photo not always on the bike in the pic ... it needs to be a good artisitic pic or an action shot well captured!!

[fireball]

I agree. A Volty however... :eek:

or Rawberry!! :lol:

will scan through some of the CC Challenge pics none of those were staged, even the one of a certain bike up to the crank case in mud....

GN's don't spray that much roost at the MX track.

[Nagash]

Personally I wouldn't enjoy 12 months of race track shots. That's one aspect of riding that I have nothing to do with what-so-ever and so wouldn't appeal to me in the slightest.

My preference would be bike's out on the open road, major motorcycling roads etc.etc. A cruiser would be even better but that's just completely unlikely, who likes cruisers anyway?


I'll be interested to see what comes up! Can't say i'll be submitting anything myself with my bike having enough dents in it to make the moon blush, but I have a fancy expensive camera with the know-how to use it so if anyone would like some photos and lives in Auckland, give us a shout.

[cowboyz]

It would be good to see a few of the people behind the bikes in photos, rather than just the bikes. Kiwibiker is, after all, about the people not the bikes.

Blimey, you're not allowed to say that mate. I've still got the platter they handed my arse to me on a couple of years ago.

Personally, I'd LOVE to see a dented bike in the calendar and I just submitted Cruiser shots myself.

[Gubb]

Nagash, keen.

I'll give my bike an overhaul sometime, and we can go get some pics of both of 'em. I got a half-decent camera, with no ability with it at all.

Expertise appreciated.

[SpankMe]

A picture of your bike parked in your driveway does not make for a good calendar picture.

Or parked in your garage next to a cage. :blink:

To be honest... its the shot that is important really. The focus is on a bike of some sort, yes, but it doesn't have to be the newest spankiest toy out there...

I really liked the triumph in the sunset? of this years calendar (funnily enough Julys image), had some people standing round the bike and was an excellant capturing of the moment: people, bikes, chilling.
And for the record we had several cruiser pics this year.

I have an image in my mind now... a motorcycle graveyard, all sorts of old vintage bikes in various stages of repair, bit like Burt Munroes backyard. So someone get out there and do it... imagination people! :2thumbsup

And Nagash... take that fancy camera and get some folks to work with ya.

They are being selected by a couple of select people who expertise are in photos, they are not shown to public all the photos people send, if members wish to post these they are welcome to but only photos emailed are put in the arena to be selected.

My apologies for not being clearer. In post #59 Captain Andrey showed one photo, which was referred to by Nasty.
I am most certainly not the only contributor to the calendar. (I am wondering about hunting down a GN to photograph and submit though...:rofl:)

[Gubb]

Any updates on this?

Many pics received? Maybe a sneak preview?

Some really good photos come thru, still need more


No previews. all be shown once calander is done.

[Evo1132]

Hi, I am still quite a newby to kiwibiker, when does the calender come out?, november?, december? I hav put my entry in, no scenery, all bike baby, lol

[Swoop]

Hi, I am still quite a newby to kiwibiker, when does the calender come out?, november?, december?l
It is timed perfectly to be a "stocking stuffer" for X-mas...
A jolly good prezzie to hand out as well!

[JMemonic]

The one in my profile is available if you want to consider it.

[Cajun]

The one in my profile is available if you want to consider it.

you have to email the pic to put in consideration in the calander

[MidnightMike]

Yo Cajun.

Is there a set date when the entries close, so those who havent done anything yet can do so and know how long they have.

I'll have February thanks :rofl:

[Cajun]

Well pretty much end of this month be a good cut off.

Plenty of great shots come thru so far, need more tho

[Cajun]

Come on boys and girls

keep the pics rolling in, will be putting details up of ordering your calander shortly

[cowboyz]

are there going to be a sample calender so we see what photos are in it before buying the calender or will it be kinda a pot luck thing.

[MadDuck]

The idea is is to raise funds for the site from what I understand.

So if there are no EMUs you wont buy one....? I have submitted a photo but will stilll buy one even if it doesnt make the grade.

[cowboyz]

what ever gave you that idea? I am not expecting my submissions to make it into the calender. Would be good if they did but I wont be stomping round if they dont.

Just wondering we are going to get a preview, thats all.

[Kickaha]

Just wondering we are going to get a preview, thats all.

There hasn't ever been one in the past

[cowboyz]

ok. thats fine.

[NordieBoy]

are there going to be a sample calender so we see what photos are in it before buying the calender or will it be kinda a pot luck thing.

Yeah.
I'll get 1 calendar but if as in last year I knew one of my photos was in it I'd get 5 or more again.

[Kickaha]

Yeah.
I'll get 1 calendar but if as in last year I knew one of my photos was in it I'd get 5 or more again.

And all those people whose photos didn't get in probably wouldn't buy any and then it wouldn't be viable

[NordieBoy]

And all those people whose photos didn't get in probably wouldn't buy any and then it wouldn't be viable

You missed the bit about buying one anyway?

[cowboyz]

And all those people whose photos didn't get in probably wouldn't buy any and then it wouldn't be viable

You think thats true? I am not so sure.

[MVnut]

I think there should be a preview, if it's a great calendar you will sell even more

[Kickaha]

You think thats true? I am not so sure.

There's been a few people in the past that have said I'll buy xxx-amount if my pic is in there otherwise I won't buy any


I think there should be a preview, if it's a great calendar you will sell even more

Or people may say, I've already seen the pics now I dont need to buy one

No matter what way it is done it wont keep everyone happy, I'll be getting at one anyway regardless of whats in it simply to support the site

[Mental Trousers]

No matter what way it is done it wont keep everyone happy, I'll be getting at one anyway regardless of whats in it simply to support the site

That pretty much sums it up.

[Morcs]

I just emailed 3 low res entries. they will need tweaking, but good shots methinks.

Or people may say, I've already seen the pics now I dont need to buy one



I would imagine that if the pictures are so average (and I am not saying they are or arent average because I havent seen them) that looking at them in low res on a computer screen is enough that you dont want them hanging on the wall (ie, by buying the calender) then there should be better pictures selected.

No, that's not what he's saying. The couple of times that I've been a Mod while the calendar process was run, the Waambulance calls because someone's photo wasn't in the calendar were overwhelming.

It got nasty and personal too, and Joni had to wear all the flak for that. Quality isn't the issue.

Whats the criteria for a photo?(point me in the right place, Im too lazy to read the whole thread)

Just wondering if I couldnt throw something BADD in?

Or no, general photos only?


Might be great idea to get together the big bunch that have supported together for a photo for next year even.......hmmmm (ok im leaving with cogs turning before I go off topic!!)

Its easy to tell if your photo will be in it. Did you get asked for full quality version of your photo? I wasn't :crybaby:

That doesn't work if you sent high quality shots in the first place.
