The competition will be tougher this year. Nonetheless, here is your chance to have your truck featured at the TDR web site and on the 2008 TDR Calendar. To participate is easy; send us your photograph! No sweat. Just clean up your rig, take it out and position against a scenic backdrop, wait for cloud cover or for the daybreak/twilight hour so that there are not any dreaded shadows, and capture your rig with a digital camera with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Or you can certainly send us the old-fashioned photograph made from any 35mm camera.
Some tips from last year's judges:
• Be careful to make sure your photograph is clear and does not have any junk in the background. We saw power poles appearing to come out of the truck bed and a few McDonalds Kids Meal boxes in the windows.
• Action shot were hard for us to pass up.
• Photographs with interesting backgrounds were preferred.
• Extreme weather added action to the photograph.
This year, there is a limit of two photographs per member. Submit the photo(s) by mail, e-mail or FTP to the TDR offices by September 22.
Mail your print photographs to:
