What is 6 megapixel format? or did you mean 6 megabite? or is it the same

Had a quick look at some of the photo's submitted - and whilst they are of excellent quality don't you think we should be looking for more "seasonal" photo's?

The likes of Ninja's frozen car is idea for one of the winter months.

We live in a country which has the best and the worst of the weather (even if it's supposed to be temperate) but best of all we live in a country that looks spectacular in all weathers.

Just a thought - but it would be nice to set us apart from any elise forum - we are Scottish Elises and I would like to see the calender incorporate both.

what's the point in taking pics like this, if not for a winter scene in the calender?

Maybe we should just say;

"DING"

That would be DONG without the O and an I in its place, so to speak..

Or some sort of shorthand?

That was meant to be the idea behind a thread for each month

The MP is often stated on the camera but you can work it out easily enough. For an A4 calendar, I'd have thought 6MP would be best as anything less than that may not print out that well. My camera (6MP) produces pictures in it's best setting of 3072*2048 pixels, so you're looking at needing images at about that size.

File size, mine tend to be 2.5 - 3MB.

BTW, if we end up with a desk calendar, the photos won't be nearly as big so we can reduce the resolution quite a bit.

I'm really dissapointed there is not an elise with a xmas tree sticking out the roof in December's pictures..... yet

Cracking photos so far

I think it would be possible to get a good result from a 3 or 4 megapixel image, provided it was steady and sharp.

But I'm biased of course, because if 6mp is the minimum then I can't submit any of my own pics as they are all 4mp (and some are actually 35mm shots scanned to CD from negatives by the lab when printing).

Oh, and if any help is needed in sourcing a Calendar printer/manufacturer, my Dad can probably give us some advice He publishes them for a living.

Greg in controversial shocker....

Can we have summer shots in winter, and Winter Shots in the summer please?

Explanation: In winter, its frickin cold. I'm well aware what frost looks like, and don't need to see it on my calander - I want to be reminded of summer, when the roof was off and we were all out on track. In Summer, I want to be reminded how long winter is, so I don't think about going for a drive - I go for a drive!

Kapish?

I need to check and see how a 4mp pic prints out on A4. I borrowed some of seloc's rules for theirs and their calendar was pretty good this year.
