I sent in a few pictures for our Town Planner Calendar for next year---I just got the new one the other day. They take pics from amateur and professional photographers from the area...The calendar goes to 65,000 people in the area and I just think it would be cool to know that that many people would have to stare at my pic for a month!

These are the ones I sent in.....





Cropped the people out of this one.




This one I took the date out of.


I'll be sending them in all year now...they'll get sick of me!

I love them all Loz!!!

The hummingbird pic is amazing!! You took that??? Surely u posted it somewhere here but I must have missed it. It's fantastic! That's my fave!
Good luck!!

OMG, Loz, I love them all! Why don't you make ME a calendar with all your great pictures!

They are all good, but wow! that butterfly shot just takes my breath away. Smudge the date out, and it's absolutely perfect.

Congrats on getting some really great shots!

Thanks everyone! I love taking pics and you will always see me toting my camera around EVERYWHERE! Never know when you'll get a good shot right?

The butterfly is gorgeous and that water shot would be perfect for September, when the weather is getting cooler but you can still walk on the beach without freezing your tush off.

I love that butterfly!

Ohh Man Loz I love them all , But if I had to choice only one it would be the humming bird! That photo is awesome!!!

Looky at what I got back already...now I gotta downsize them...Yay!

Laura:

The photos are wonderful!
Our contest for next year will not start until February, but I have some folks like yourself who have already expressed an interest. As we get so many great photos we typically limit it to 3 entries per person. If you would like to enter any 3 of your photos, you can do so. Just let me know which 3, and please keep in mind that photos will need to be 300 dpi.

Thanks so much for your interest and support. It is people like you who have made us successful.


Only 3!!! Oh my gosh, I gotta narrow it down and what if I take killer pics during the year????

I guess I'll submit the butterfly(that's my fav), the hummingbird(my second fav), and I don't know about a third yet...hmmmm...

Coooool Loz I feel your excitement!!!

I think it's just dots per inch? Or am I totally wrong? I found a way to change it to 300 dpi but it didn't change the pic size....is that how it works?

I don't win anything if I get picked, but I'd love to know all those people were looking at my pic for a month!

I'm doing a little smudging and cropping.

Yep!

Loz...that butterfly pic will be on the calendar!

I wonder if I'll be notified that it will be in the calander before this time next year? Either way I'll have to wait until December to see it! :p

What do you mean ...you wouldn't win anything???? Girl..., If you have 65,000 people looking at the same Picture for 30- 31 days thats..., well that's.. over 1,950,000 views of your picture,, based on one months time!! Now I'd say that's a pretty big reward!!!

It'd be very much a satisfying reward for me .....just didn't want people to think it was a money contest thing--although money wouldn't hurt!

i like your pond pic

Okay, here's the butterfly picture with the date taken out....you can't tell right?



And what do you all think of these two?



I always like this one because of the way the clouds behind the mountains look like more mountains sort of.....

Ugh, I hate when photobuckets resize feature doesn't work right! :p

How about those? I can take the dates out no problem.....

Oh Loz, your flowers and butterfly are beautiful but MY fav is those clouds. WOW that is one stunning pic. I love the beams of sunlight. Your pics are going to make the calendar for sure.

I love em all but if i had to choose, i really like the Hummingbird shot....very cool!!!!

Thank you both for your input.

That morning of that cloud pic was amazing...it was dark and cloudy but blindingly bright because of that sunburst. And I've never saw it like that before...with clouds at the bottom of the horizon AND at the top.

The hummer is one of my favorites too Penny.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions...and it can only be 3!

Tough to choose, that is for sure Loz!

loz,

You have a great eye for photos.

Job well done...................

dodge

my fave is the butterfly.............

the cloud one is way cool...............

how are u going to ever decide ????????

Thank you! I think I'm gonna go with the butterfly for sure...my mom came and looked last night and her fav is the cloud/sky one so I might do that one too..... Still have the 3rd one to decide on though.

loz

I vote for butterfly.


dodge

Hi loz,
You take great shots! The butterfly is just fantastic and I love the cloud/sky pic for sure. That hummingbird pic is awesome too! Hope your pics get in the calendar. When will you know something?

now that you added more pics i cant choose their all so good!
i realy like the clouds/sky pic

Loz, I cannot belive I just saw this...Wow, you take awesome pics!! The butterfly is my fav! I think you should submit to other places with your photos as well!

I love the mountain and clouds pic too..They are all super!You have the talent for capturing great pics

You all are making me blush!

As soon as I figure stuff out and find out if I made it I'll let you all know.

Great pics, the clouds and mountains are awesome. You need to submit that and the butterfly for sure, but the third choice is a challenge...........

Thank you Karrie.

I'm struggling with the 3rd pic.....I'm thinking one of the rose pictures because then I'd have a butterfly, scenic, and flower.

I don't know!

The butterfly is my top pick also, loz, then beach then hummingbird. Bet you have three winners there!! Well, I might change the beautiful woods for the hummingbird, though; has such pretty colors. Love them all!!!

Thank you Shirley!

Well it's Feb now and I can officially submit my pictures....

I cant wait to hear which ones you have sent in Laura~~~!!

Oh, u just gotta send that hummingbird...it's so artistic!
Good luck!

I agree....thats one of my Favorites too!!!

Loz I really love the hummingbird, butterfly, and sunburst cloud with mountains those three are awesome..

Loz, Love them all, But the hummingbird is my fav!;-)

Hiya... how could i have missed this thread..?! Your pictures Loz r SIMPLY

...LOVE 'em all but i really, really love da Butterfly ..da sun behind da clouds n ..emm sorry can't choose a third...cant help u there!!

Did you decide and sent them in yet?

Amazing! LOVE THEM LOZ!
The Butterfly catches my attention greatly!

have ya decided yet? i can see why its hard to choose there all so beauitful!

Thank you everyone!

I did submit 3 pictures! I got a reply from the man running the contest and he said the pictures were great!

I sent in the butterfly, the sky with the clouds/sun, and the lake with the person cut out of it....I didn't really want to send that one but a lot of pics in this years calendar were pics of a place around the area....that's why I sent that one in.....But there were some flower ones too....

I wonder if he'd be mad if I sent him a few more. 3 just isn't enough!

Maybe I'll ask him if it's 3 firm, or if I could send him 2 more and then I could do a rose one and the hummingbird....doesn't hurt to ask.

wouldnt hurt to ask,
or you could send them in under the name loz think he'd know it was you?

I think I will ask though....I mean maybe he'd bend it for me just a tad.

I like the butterfly Loz, too cool!
