Art & Inspiration 2010 HAMB calendar photo submission thread

So it's that time again. HAMB calendar time... You supply the photos... I put it together... You buy one for everyone you know... Ryan gets the proceeds... and you get a kick ass calendar with images suitable for framing. Everyone wins. Previous calendars are collectors items now and the last 2 years, they have won an award, so... submit your work and get famous.

Here's the skinny. I need photos. Not your everyday run of the mill, this is my car at the local cruise night photos... Photos that when you look at them, you automatically get it. You know, that same feeling when you stop and just stare at your ride. The photos in the calendar are about passion... spreading the gospel. Think Garage magazine, Church magazine, etc.

Requirements: Post your submissions in this thread. You MUST have hi res version of the photo for it to be used. I've gotten some really unbelieveble photos in the past, but couldn't use them cause they were taken on the camera's lowest quality setting. That depresses me. And if you post a pic you thought was cool from the HAMB that you didn't take, then find out who took it and then post it. I'm not chasing people this year.

Regarding pin up shots. That would be cool, but they have to be tasteful and artistic. This ain't Hustler.

Format: The calendar itself will be vertical. It will look a bit different this year. Probably not what you expect compared to the last few years. We're printing a short run this year too. So they will go fast.

Post your pic here. If it gets selected, I will contact you for the hi rez.

That's it. Impress me.

Deadline is October 19 with final selection that week. If I can't get ahold of you pretty quickly for your photo, I will move on.

One last time, the format is VERTICAL. I've cropped plenty of horizontal shots, but be aware...

Will do.

How about this?

 

Denise,

I hope you plan on putting photo's of your car up there she is a beauty and an inspiration

 

Couple from me at Bonneville this year...













My rental racer!!!

 

A few offerings. Click through any of them to get to their flickr page, there are larger versions available there.

 

Very nice JeffreyJames. I especially like #4.

Before this thread gets too crazy, I just want to reiterate something here... reread the 2nd paragraph. A well executed artistic shot of a Corvair will get chosen over a run of the mill snapshot (comeplete with lawnchairs) of the baddest '32 coupe ever built. Just sayin'...

One more time... VERTICAL.

 

I know there are some real photographers here...so I almost don't want to post this...but I thought it was a cool shot. Just before sunrise on the way to the Hot Rod Revolution...

Here's my submission:



Not vertical, but can be cropped?

 

Nosurf that's an awesome shot!!! The rules call for a Portrait type photo or vertical instead of horizontal though. So I cropped that mother!!!!

 

All vert and all from 2009!

So no horizontal formats then?

I got this from another thread. If it makes the cut I will try and contact the photographer.

........

 

Wonder how many times people will still miss this part???

In case you don't know what vertical is, it's the up and down not the long ways.

 

Dumb question, can you make a horizontal picture vertical? I never tip my camera on it's side whan I shoot

 

No love for the '09 Corolla? Damn. Thanks man.

 

but all my pictures are square???

 

I believe the request is to crop them so they end up being vertical, if they're not already vertical.
