2014 Calendar pic request

[afg10000]

TheKid's post about the expeditonportal calendar inspired me to make a custom 4Runner/Tacoma/Cruiser calendar. I saw that Toytec has one but it would be nice to pick and choose memorable photos. I use Photoshop and other editing software everyday for work and have made calendars before. I'm really not looking into selling them or making money, but I can build one and supply a link to a distributor so others can go online and order the same one (or customize it if they choose). I don't want to get ahead of myself but I think I can figure out how to make that happen if anyone would be interested. Anyway, for myself I'm asking if ya'll would be willing to show off some good pics to choose from? Need nice hi-res pics (preferably 1068 x 724 or higher). No matter how high the resolution or size, they're still 72 when I take them off the net so the bigger the better for editing. If pic files are too large to post here, links will work. I could scour the pic gallery for hours but it be better if folks just shared nice pics in a streamlined fashion. TheKid's pics of his '97 are really nice. Stuff like that. Not just driving pics, but random things are welcome. Mechanical victories, stuck in badness or getting un-stuck, even better a Toyota recovering a Yeep or busted Yeeps in general. Dogs and Toyotas are good, too (no cats please but lizards are welcome). Here's one I like for example.

I tried to cut down to the very best pictures I think I have... And I would totally be down for a calendar!

There was a similar thread on the forum late last year that has some great pictures inside. It might provide you with some material to work with....

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-g...rd-gen-photos-worthy-desktop-backgrounds.html

That being said, you probably want some more current photos, and there have been many great builds started since that last thread went up. We should see some good eye candy in this thread.

i think this is a great idea, just some out loud thinking here, we could do this with the 4runner of the month 4runners, take the winner for that month and do it in a calander... -sometimes though i get the feeling that the t4rotm is more of a popularity contest... or trend inspired vote/nomination idk -not saying its always that way.

we could do this with submissions and votes, but that would take time, that at this point we dont have. then there would be how do we pick what picture gets what month or if one member gets more than one picture in the final top 12...? also and all the technical stuff around that as well.

but i like how ExPo does it two pics per person, a month or so to submit photos, two or three weeks to vote and then off to production. and then having pics that are large enough(file wise) and good enough quality to be enlarged, and the right format ie landscapes not portraits.

Beautiful pics, except for Downpour's. That's creepy. WTF with the mask. Is that the maid from Family Guy? I thought about the winners of the month as well but It's very subjective material. Beautiful pics are more important than builds because we gots to stare at them for a month. Keep 'em coming and I'll put something together later this afternoon. Got work to do on the wife's runner whilst it's nice out -

We had a calendar once before, it was cool. I still have mine on the wall.

[Kurtis]

Couple of my favorites. I'd be down for a calendar or 2. Unedited versions.

 

[afg10000]

Man, there's some great pics. That's what I'm talkin' aboot. I'll get to work on this project this week. BFAD, there's some good ones in the desktop thread. Definitely love the HDR photos. Keep 'em comin!

 

[farmerjon]

This is a great idea! I like this!

I have some... some are lower res versions, but I can get the high res ones if you end up picking any of mine..

And a couple attached. Of course, I have lots more in my photolog if you're so inclined.

Looking forward to seeing a possible product here! :thumb:

 

[KidVermicious]

I like this one too:

I don't have any awesome poser pics of the Bastard. It's an ugly little ***** that makes cameras flinch.

[quicksilvr]

A calendar would be really cool. Here are a couple big, high quality pictures that I have....

 

[98LtdT4R]

I know it's not the best quality, but it's what I've got! I'll take February if this is good enough.
