Calendar Pictures
Deadline: October 31st.
Criteria for submitting pictures for the 2013 Farmdog Calendar:
1. Only Farmdogs – and maybe a side kick or two but no people (exceptions can be made - we will need releases)
2. Horizontal – Landscape pictures only.
3. Sharp (In Focus) – This is a “must” – out of focus pictures cannot be enlarged for printing.
4. Striving for seasonal pictures: holidays, fall, spring or Travel Pictures – Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Canyon, etc in background…. (wishful thinking – but I know you have those pictures!)
5. Action Shots and Activity Shots are the most fun but Glamour Shots will be welcome as well.
6. Well Composed shots with enough margin around subject to allow for cropping/printing.
7. High Resolution (set your camera on it’s highest setting – large format. (Look in the manual!)
8. Getting the pictures to the committee…
Most of us just email pictures as attachments or with them just tagging along with our message. Almost all these pictures get reduced in size so they can be “sent” and “received” without the process taking hours. A DropBox will be provided so you will have a way to send the pictures in the largest format as possible.
Note: The most difficult task to achieve has to do with DPI (dots per inch) in the printing and not the pixels. Most cameras even smart phones have enough pixels these days, but they don’t have enough RESOLUTION (DPI) to print in the calendar size. This is why you need your camera set on it’s highest setting.
Last year we had several fun pictures of many dogs so we decided to collage the ones that could not be enlarged to our full size. This allowed us to use many more farmdogs. I think the 2012 December page is quite interesting.
So what does this mean?
SEND US YOUR PICTURES!! The calendar is the gift that gives to us all year – let’s make it another great year in pictures.
