Ok guys and gals Just a reminder I need photo's  for the 2009 Calander.

 here is some helpful things for taking a photo of you machine .


 May I make a few suggestions strictly on behalf of our visitors. This will result in a better displaying image for our visitors on the Web Site.

Take a picture from the front of the machine/cooler but slightly to one side, just enough to see the side of the machine/cooler.  Keeping in mind to get the complete machine/cooler in the frame fully.
Try to take the photograph at a point approximately 3/4 of the height of the machine/cooler.  If your machine/cooler is about 5' tall, camera height should be around 3 1/2' - 4' from the same ground the machine/cooler is sitting on.

The only exception to this rule would be Chest Type Coolers in which case you would do as above except don't use 3/4 the height.  It would be better to take a picture from slightly above the Cooler to show the lids as well.

And as always, don't rely on flash photography.  If the machine/cooler is in doors, try to illuminate the area as best as possible to assist the flash.  Many times pictures taken with the flash alone are very dark in some areas while very light in others.  These photos are difficult to work with for display purposes on Soda-Machines.Com.

  Hope this helps.

  I would like to have the calanders done by November so everyone that wants one can have it before   2009
 Email me the photo's  send them to me by pony express  how ever you want lets get some good ones.

  Thanks

Yes it will be a bigger run , I just hope I get some photo's .

I'm hoping to have the Nichol Kola together good enough for the calendar also I'll also take one of the GE non-electric Pepsi cooler I picked up.....
Also I will help, if you'd like, with the layout... I would like to see the entire 8.5 X 11 area filled
we would, of course, highlight the machine/cooler/dispenser and maybe have an area
of how it was found... or maybe a before and after shot, or use a manual from a soda machine
booklet of the exact model to use as a background..... I'll do a couple layouts and post them....
what do you want to make as a due date?.... how much time do we have? my cooler
is waiting for a cap catcher and the embossing needs to be lettered.
the GE cooler I will do “as found”... maybe someone who has the electrical version could take a picture of theirs...  and we could do a electric and non-electric of that model month!
And what about a month of dispensers?.....
Just some ideas....

Not that we want an all-Dr. Pepper calendar with Tom's DP-110, but I could contribute pictures of a restored DP Atlas Senior (and possibly a Junior) if we wanted to do a layout with a Junior, Standard, and Senior together on the page.  We would just need a picture of a Standard (there are a couple here that have them nicely done).  That might look pretty cool!     Just a thought...

Greg.. that could be cool... a month of different sizes of the same type cooler and brand also
Anyone have a manual for those coolers to fade in for a background?... Who's the manual
guy here?....
