Author Topic: Pictures worthy of a Calendar (Read 5806 times)

I am going to start collecting photos for a calendar. Read the photo taking instructions at Tips for taking better pictures
Start taking pictures of your cannons. Pictures only no narrative, no replies and no comments in this topic. I'll edit and delete any posted.

If you have what you think is a good picture but but don't know how to edit it, post it. I will contact you off line and help you. If you post a picture that needs some work, I'll drop you a PM or email and suggest how to improve it.

Try to work something in to show the scale of you cannon. We use the Powder can a lot but we don't want this calendar to be an advertisement for GOEX. We want to show off our guns. So unless you can work the can in as an unobtrusive part of the background leave it out.

The pictures must be of your cannon. Static or in action.

In September, I will open a post with a poll and we will select the pictures to be used on the Calendar.

UPDATE 04/27/2007

RickK asked about photo resolution. Post the picture here on the board in the usual format 576 pix wide at 72 ppi. Save the picture on your computer at a higher resolution and larger size---best full size as it come out of the camera. Then if your picture is selected I will have you send me your high resolution picture for posting in the calendar.

I have also learned that you need to type words in order to post a picture. So just type in a title and post your picture.

Here's a once-fired golf ball (a "NITRO") next to Blackberry.

Well, ONE of the three should qualify for THIS calendar.

No, I'm not trying to stack the deck. This is to encourage Y'ALL to post more pix. I see enough of my own every day.
(How about some closeup details of YOUR cannons/mortars? Percussion, sights, et al.
