[VA RATPACK] I need more pics
Ok RatPackers,
I am on the kick again, and this time it is to try to make a calender.
I need pics of your cars again, Post up your favorite High Res shot of your ride <the higher the better> in this thread (please no emails, that way if they are all in one place, I won't misplace any). Also include a small "Bio" with just basic info kinda like:
If I have enough to chose from, I may even do a 2 year calender.

Joe,
When you say "hi-res" that covers a lot of ground. What size picture are you looking for and is it for the Internet or print?
If you're looking to do 8x10 for the Internet, you need about 100 dpi, which is 800x1000 pixels.
If you're looking to do 8x10 for a home printer, you need about 150-300 dpi, which is 1200x1500 pixels or 2400x3000. The newer photo printers are pretty hi res, so I usually go with 300 dpi, but a .JPG like that is about a 2 MB file.
If you're planning on professional printing (1200+ dpi), we need better cameras.

The project will be printed...8x10ish. I have a relatively good HP photo printer. A buddy of mine is a graphic designer and has a top end full color laser so once I get it put together I may get him to help me in the actual printing side of things.

Of course, you can't expect to do the Pirelli calendar. Those photos are taken with top end equipment costing many thousands of dollars and printed on slick paper.
If I do one, I think I might publish it as an Adobe Acrobat file and let people print it themselves. In that case, I'd probably do it for standard paper. Full size wall calendars are printed on tabloid size paper (11 in x17 in) or bigger with the photo on top and the calendar on the bottom, but most people don't have printers that can do that.
I figure with standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper I can use 5x8 photos, which even at 300 dpi are only about a megabyte each. Any good camera can provide the resolution for that.
I did a quick PowerPoint just to get a rough idea of what it might look like. A printable file would have to be higher resolution, of course.
If you want to PM me an email address, I can send you the Acrobat file.
