Brilliant. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing.

So I played with contrast and came up with decent scans I think, though not perfect. I think contrast will come in handy in the future on some of these black and white calendars.

I'll give my full run down/opinion of the calendar in the next post.

Enjoy!

It must of taken the photographer a long time to get that shot of the ballerina jump. Awesome stuff, thanks as always.

Am I alone in thinking that Vermont may be the result of some VERY clever photoshop work? It's too perfect!

I thought that after the first image, see the girl twirling the rosette with her legs the wrong way to cover herself in traditional calendar fashion. However, it doesn't detract from the poses even if they are cleaned up a bit...amazing.

Great post and analysis, Dalquaz.

If this calendar had maybe a red backdrop like the De Montfort pictures with vivid color reproduction, it would be awfully close to being perfect.

Definitely agree on this, as an example look at the girl second from the left with the disappearing left hand:

You don't need to ask, MORE MORE MORE! Thanks so much for your work, you've made this the best thread ever on this site.

"Participants may wear a bathing suit or underwear for the actual photo suit, which can later be digitally removed"

it looks like a high percentage of the girls were wearing bottoms, at least.

A great calendr but it seems like something has been removed. Girls look to smooth. Even butts seemed to have been fuzzed.

If you zoom in on this pic where the other person leg is behind her butt seems to be some pixel editing. Like a string was removed from the leg

Could it be some of those lines were removed underclothes? I'm thinking probably not, as there are bra tan lines as well. Also, what a hassle for the photographer to have to edit that! Just take your clothes off!

Somethine else interesting mentioned in this document are two US calendars I haven't heard of before:

Brown Uni for Southside Community Land Trust
and
Hampshire College Ultimate Frisbee Team (which may be done each year!!)

Any info on these calendars would be appreciated, especially the Frisbee one.

As I mentioned before, way,way back on page 98, a friend of mine obtained this calendar from one of the girls who is in it. She is at the same Uni as the girl and kindly asked her, on my behalf, if she would be willing to complete a survey to aid with research into the positives and negatives of naked charity calendars as a fund raising tool. (Blatant rip off of your idea Dalquaz! - Many thanks!)
The girl said she would, and offered to ask the other girls in the calendar as well. I ended up with three completed surveys, all of which made interesting reading, though one in particular was amazingly detailed and frank.

I wanted these surveys for my own benefit, as I love the background stories to these calendars almost as much as the calendars themselves, and I do not intend to bore everyone by reproducing the surveys in full. However, if anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to post some of the more interesting answers.

I'd be very interested in reading them, as I am sure many other people on this thread would be. Please post them in full that way at least we have a chance to make our own minds up as to whether they are interesting or not.

I'm very interested. Please post them.
