Cragar's 2015 Calendar

A while back I received notification that the three photos of the '33 that I had submitted for consideration for Cragar's 2015 calendar were all selected for final consideration, which was a big surprise. A couple of weeks back I got another message that the panel of judges loved my barn shot, which was the set up shot for the picture that was in NZ's PetrolHead, and that they selected it their Grand Champion! What a great surprise, but they also selected my snow shot, with the car up in the road with fresh snow for the December photo. Needless to say I'm pleased that their judges liked the car, and also for the recognition of the photos. I captured a screen shot of the calendar.

Thanks to all. Honestly the setup for the photo in the barn shot is what won. The team of judges felt that it captured "...the essence of hot rodding..." While highlighting Cragar wheels. More luck and timing than anything.

Celebrity, Uncle Bob? Not a chance :LOL::LOL: The bonus is that winning the cover included a set of Classic Cragar's in the size of my choice, so now the '32 will have two "looks", steelies w/ caps and Cragar's w/bigs & littles to confuse the troops.

Good show, Roger.

You know, that picture does look nice. Now I may just have to get a calendar. Good Job Roger.

Congrats, Roger, great shot! The judges have a good eye.

We're traveling and my picture files are back home. I'm not sure, but I expect it was 4.5MP, but it may have been an 8MP JPEG file. I submitted full size files to Cragar. I love the camera and the power it offers, but to use it right takes a lot of studying, and classes don't hurt!

And a big congrats from us down here,too,,Roger.. That's a kool pic for the front of a calendar..Awesome.. :cool::cool:

Excellent!

Really pleased for you mate.

:) :) :) :)

A big congrats from me too! Well done and Great Shot. You did nail it!

yip - congratulations from me as well
wouldn't mind seeing the snowshot as well - don't think we will get the calendar down here!

Mark,
This is similar to the "snow shot" that I submitted, but I think that it was from the opposite side but with some PhotoShop work to reverse the image as the wheel direction was different on the calendar.

Jerry, I looked back and the MP size is not in "properties" for the cover shot, but the original file is 6.77MB in size so the resolution is decent.

Thanks Roger-does your Canon use the CF cards or something else?? SD?

It's an SD card, Class 10 with 32 Gigabytes storage capacity which is amazing.

Very nice Roger, congrats! I also like both shots. Definitely cool to get a free set of wheels too!

Definitely! The 15x4.5's were here when we got back from NZ, and the 17x9's got here Tuesday. For some reason Cragar has chosen not to make the Classic S/S wheel in a range of 16's, but I think 17's will be OK. Ordered a pair of 145R15's for the front, and a pair of 265R70x 17's for the back. It'll have a 7" rubber rake, which is OK. I may also swap the new 17's onto the '33, to gain some clearance for the disc calipers. Will have to see how things play out...

This is Fantastic!!!
Congrtatulations!!!

You have a good eye when you take pics.

Rog, do you have a link that I/We can order a calendar from? When I google I get Summit Racing but then the link is kinda vague. thanks, Em

Em,
The calendar is Summit Part Number CRR-CGR-P-1401. When I ordered some extra copies they were not found on-line, and could be ordered only by calling in or using the on-line chat feature. It looks like they've rectified that now, but no picture, and the description is indeed vague - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-cgr-p-1401

Thanks Roger, phone call it is !
Em

Congratulations!
