What we need for a good calendar picture

Be sure to make sure the sizes and resolutions are good (keep reading). There's no way we can stretch a picture to make it look good. For some help, check out our Good photography tips article by Jerry "AgriHawg" Fendley.

     We will need:

• A Digital image should be minimum 200 dpi and 1725 x 1350 pixels (9" x 12") for the regular size. For the jumbo calendars, we need 200 dpi and 17.5" x 11.5." Make sure the picture shows the majority of your truck. If it is a grille shot, be sure to give some space on either side of the frame. The best format is .jpg.


• Non-digital image - If you do not have access to a digital image, mail your photograph to The Stovebolt Page, 41370 Friendship Court, Mechanicsville, MD 20659-3853.


• Keep in mind the portrait of your truck. Some of the nicer images are taken in fields, near barns, on a vacant street. That's a much better shot than your truck next to the Walmart cart return island. If you are sending in a "People of the Bolt" submission, the more folks the better. People working on the Bolt is great. Anything clever!


• When taking the picture, keep in mind whether you want your license plate displayed. We can smudge out the numbers ... but just be sure to let us know if you want that.

• Your first and last name. The model year and make of the truck. If it's a family, group shot, include the names of the people in the photo.
  
  
• A valid e-mail address.  We may need to contact you regarding your submission.

• Send all that information to:
