The Official 2010 ESC Calendar List
Quite involved. Slightly over expose the pic for the brightest part of the car. In this case the far side of the bonnet. This will give you a good chuck of the sillouhette as it will throw the darker areas into under exposure. It helps if you've got spot metering on the camera.
In PS use the burn tool to darken the already heavilly shaddowed areas. and the darker tones on the parts of the car you still want to see. This leaves you with the highlights. Then convert to b&w. Doing this gives you even more of the sillouhette effect. Go into Image Adjustments and have a play around with the curves. It'll let you keep the highlights and darken the shaddows even more. Pick up the darkest colour which by now should be solid black. Using a hard edge brush go around the car to finish it off.
I need to go over and dodge in the highlights to make it a bit more promenant in the shot above. Spent about an hour and a half on that last night, needs about another hour to get it really spot on.
Quite a moody effect huh

Sorry fella, as per text 
Right guys and gals, I've been getting some feedback on the images I posted up here and a lot of the semi pro and pro togs are saying tha the thumbnails are spoiling the pics. What's your views? I'll process whatever the car owner wants for their pic. Can you just let me know

on BeeSTi's do the smaller pictures with a heavy vignette so they blend in a bit more.
With the white car, the borders are all over the shop. Like the top 2 shots but not the 3rd. Particularly like the top left as a contrast to the main shot and the then the detail of the zorst.

that it spoils it a bit to have the other shots in it, a vignette will soften the edges but maybe have that as the cover with some nice arty Text saying it's the ESC Calender.Put me down for one by the way.
The white classic was a 5 min mock up hence the borders being off. The thumbnails down the side or along the bottom is a good idea
I agree that Beesti's would be better just as the main shot.

I'd just put some nice text with a drop shadow and leave as is.
This picture is superb and just needs to be a statement.
The white classic was much better with the smaller pics, all in my humble opinion of course.
Try moving the pics down the side maybe?
