Thanks Amanda Off the top of my head I’m sure we only received 1 photo of jello with another car next to it who I can’t remember who it was but the qaulity wasn’t great and the sizing might have been an issue too but I can’t remember. Try and make sure she gets some good photos this year and send them across for the next one. We are keeping the email open all year for photos to be sent so I’m hoping after each show or meet people will send photos across Thanks Jan, the memorial page was a pleasure to do, we really wanted to do something that meant a lot to members and just seemed very fitting for this years calendar. Just a shame we have lost such great people Just so you all know, we have sent a calendar ( free of charge of course) to the family members of those on the memorial page, I was in touch with them while the calendar was being designed and they were all very supportive

I think if most people stop and think about it, they would realise that the calendar is very time-consuming. A few general thoughts from me... Although I am not involved in it (apart from providing probably around 25 photos of between 1 - 6MB), anyone who is artistic will know that it's not a question of arranging a few photos on a page and then printing that page. There is a lot of preparation of the image in terms of cropping, looking at how the page balances out in terms of shape, colour and the overall impression. Even if a photo meets the criteria of clarity and the MB range, the crux of the matter would be the composition of everything in the photo, the lighting, extraneous 'bits' in view that detract rather than add to the overall impression. My Gen 5 friends on our Wales driving days are used to me asking them (nicely!) to get out of the way before I press the shutter . If I'm intending to take a photo of my car, I drive out to places where I know the backdrop will enhance the shot - rather than take 'snaps'. The main photo for each month in the calendar is brilliant and gives an indication of what to aim for. I can fully appreciate the disappointment of anyone not getting their photos into the calendar. May I suggest that this thread is moved into Members' Area Club Chat now for any further comment. Perhaps put a new basic thread to state what the Calendar is, how it came about, cost and link to buy in the shop in General Celica for non-members to see.

Just to clarify on the memorial page: The ones we requested were the memorial photos and we decided not to use the ones from meets as the page looked too clustered so we decided to simplify the page and keep it to 1 photo of the member and 2 of the car where possible (we couldn’t get a photo of Simon unfortunately) We wanted to have as many photos as possible so that we could have a few options/variations for the memorial page to decide which looked best. Im not going into any more detail on the subject.

3 more posted today, inc one bought this morning for DQ. I won't be able to do the next postal run until next Mon/Tuesday due to a small road trip over the next few days.

Aha, I so hope no one gets one by the weekend as I know what I'm gunna do [emoji38] Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk
