The 2015 SOHC Calendar thread - post your photos here!!
« on: August 01, 2014, 10:10:57 AM »
After the success of last years calendar we are going to do it all over again ;) (We raised $260+ for the Forum last year - ALL proceeds go to the Forum).

And since its the middle of summer and you are all out riding then it shouldnt be too much of a challenge to go and take some scenic shots of you and your bike and submit the best photos to this thread for inclusion in the 2015 calendar.

Requirements for submission:

1. At least 24 photos in total will be selected  - probably more since there will be 3 versions of the Calendar this year -
1) a multi-panel version
2) single shots (an Andy750 Special Version)
3) an International Scenic Shots calendar featuring heavily on Iceland no doubt but open to all International scenic shots

2. Photos must have been taken in 2014
3. Photos should be accompanied by location of  photo, bike model/year and you should state that you agree that the photo can be used for the SOHC Calendar.
4. Remember nice clear photos with an interesting backdrop stand a much better chance of getting in (wild scenery, shops, bridge, race track, hot biker chick etc etc...get creative!)  - a photo of your bike in the driveway wont cut it!

Good luck and lets make this years Calendar the best one yet!

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Retro…it was one of my favorites as well. I'm just glad that mirror is broken so that it dangled in the perfect spot for me to capture the photo ;D

I'll also nominate Kevin (TTR400) as he travels across the US on his sweet CB400. He might have to agree to Andy's "privacy policy" but something tells me it'll be okay.

I like the photo for sure but this is a scenic shot calendar so if you want to be considered then get this bike (and girl) against some of that nice Maine scenery....a covered bridge, a river backdrop, an abandoned building etc etc...I know you have all of these in Maine ;)

Thanks for compliment on my photo, many good ones here. Since I drive a lot and shot many photos while driving...it is kind of easy to get carried away! Shot this today, driving to work.

So here is one more:


Hope you guys like it. All of my photos are welcome to use in the calendar.
