Calendar Girls

[misterprofessionality]

Howdy everyone!

Since my earliier post about building an official CB1100 Forum Calendar seems to have garnered a moderate amount of support, I've decided to move forward with collecting images which could be used on the monthly feature pages. Submissions will remain open until the end of October. I'll announce an extension if it looks like we can get more good quality photos after the 31st though.

What I need from you, the users: high quality photographs of your CB1100 that express what you love about your bike. Use the best camera you can and shoot photos in the HIGHEST resolution you can. Be as artistic as you like, and focus on the bike. I want bikes from all categories, European/Asian/Australian/Canadian/American models, as many colors and styles as possible. I want Custom bikes, I want Dirty bikes, I want every kind of CB1100. Unique submissions will get the most weight. Users are encouraged to submit more than one shot from different angles if possible. Finally, high quality pictures of groups of CB1100's are also accepted, because that would be a great submission too.

What will be done with these images: 12 bikes will be selected from everything that gets submitted....at least I hope we get at least 12 . these 12 bikes will each be featured on one month of the calendar. The forum signature, or else a favorite quote from the user will also be featured on that month. On top of that, the Birthday of the user who's submission is chosen will be placed on the calendar. The selection process will be mostly subjective, open to the input from the forum, but ultimately down to what benefits the quality calendar as a whole. Once all the images are selected and arranged a final proof of the calendar will go up on the forum for everybody's consideration.

What not to do: Please don't submit photos that have already shown up on this forum anywhere. I could potentially build this entire calendar by shovelling through the massive library of great photos on the CB1100 photos board, But I wanted to feature new photos from current users and make something fresh. I always want to encourage involvement, and give people a chance to go out and take new photos off their beloved bike. Also, please do not submit any photos that focus more on the rider than the bike. Riders can appear in their photos, but we're looking for bikes here, so that's what the photos should focus on. **important note** Iif you have existing//old photos that are great but have never been posted on the forum, those are perfectly fine to submit.

Some examples of photos that would make it into the calendar, just to give you an idea of what's possible:









Of course, all these great shots are already on the forum, so they're disqualified, but they're undeniably high quality shots, featuring a lot of variation, and focused on the bikes.

Any submissions should be sent to my email, misterprofessionality@gmail.com. Be sure to attach the full resolution copy of the photo, no compressed images.

If you want to float your pictures before submitting them, you're also welcome to post them here, i promise not to disqualify them Also, feel free to ask questions of discuss the calendar here as well.

I can't wait to see what everybody sends!
