The deadline is as posted above (I edited the original post to reflect the change). But, we reserve the right to change the rules as we see fit!!!
I believe a truck key is best suited for collecting and applying the wax...just something that I came across somewhere..thought I would share!
Fred, I suggest Off Road Diesel Fuel. The red dye should give it a nice patina!
Oh yea - those "nominations" that Jeff mentioned are good projects, but the photos wouldn't do well in the contest for one reason or another (except for that last pic of Skeeter's desk).
When you're taking your pictures, pay attention to the background (ie, clean up the shop a little!) and also make sure you don't get the subject too close to the left and right edges. Most cameras capture images in a standard 4"x6" aspect ratio that will be too wide to publish in the calendar! Expect the left and right edges to be clipped off.
You can go ahead and do this yourself if you have image editing software. Just crop your image to 2300 pixels wide by 1800 pixels high at 200 dpi, and you'll see what it will look like. Or, you can upload your image to Pixenate to get a little "preview" that's pretty close to how it would look in the calendar. To do this, just upload your image file to Pixenate, click on the "Crop" button, and select "8x10" aspect ratio. If your main subject gets clipped or is too close to one edge... go back and re-shoot the photo!!! :eusa_doh:
Just wanted to remind everyone that we don't have enough entries to run the contest.8-O8-O Waht you say? There over 20 some entries. BUT, there must be at least 12 different members who have entered, an there aren't. Not enough entries, NO CONTEST:eusa_whis:eusa_booh
Plus then what do I do with the prizes?????
