CHOOSE PHOTOS FOR 2017 CALENDAR

Morning all.

Time to get the ball rolling for the MMA calendar for 2017. Last year's format went down well so we are keeping to the same size, design etc. What we need obviously is photos to fill each month plus front and back.

Attached are 19 initial suggestions. I have numbered them so to vote for those you like just say which numbers you would want to see in the calendar. Where there is a 3 or 3b that is an either or option as the same car is in both. As with last year the calendar will reflect the broad nature of our passion for Mopar, so there needs to be shots from racing, showing, working on etc. Cars do not have have to be pristine at all...an interesting shot/background or stance means any Mopar can get in here.

Also photos can be as taken or a bit arty - Ive included some examples here. Also this year I have suggested some multi shots on the same page.....the Charger 500 and the Vipers are examples. It's now about members selecting what they like because we're the people who are going to be buying it!

Apart from Adam's shot of the Polara these are ones I have taken. They are not intended to be the final short list at all. What would be very helpful would be if Adam, Guy, Rob Stu. Si and others of you who have posted magnificent shots could please choose your favourites and similarly add them to this thread. A decent file size is required....so even if its a good shot on a phone it might not be good enough for the printers to blow up.

So please give views on those attached and add more....we need to decide most of the chosen ones by the end of October. There will still be the NEC show and I would hope that some of you keen lensmen will get a worthy shot there to add in.

Best wishes

Simon, Connected editor

Hi Drew

Yes everyone can put them here either by resizing or photobucket whatever works...what's important is that there is a decent resolution original that can be emailed to me if in the final selection.

I know you've done that loads of times but just letting others know too.

Hope all is well with you

Simon

From those above:

3b
4
5
7
9
10
12
13

so pretty much all of them!

I like the multi-shots, good idea.

Simon - like last year's initial suggestion (tho I'm not sure it ended up that way), would you prefer to include only pics taken this year?

Thanks for all the replies and photos so far everyone. Liking Karlee's Bee.

Rob - most will be this year but if its from the last couple of years that's fine; that's how we ended up last year as you say. As you know having a decent original is the main thing. When we've got a few more replies and other suggestions I'll double check the popular ones with Simon Feaver.

Would really appreciate you putting forward some of your favourite shots for consideration :thumbright:
