Great shots Mario! Question on posting how do you get them to all show like that in one post and in the size they are? I've been meaning to ask as i only see the attachment line in the post framwork that allows one thumbnail per post.
Are your photos linked to a photobucket account or something similar that groups them all into one big file of multiple pictures?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

I plan to complete the calendar today and its guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas. As for how to get calendars to people, I will have to mail them, or arrange a meeting time and place for those who are close enough to get to me. There are students in training that live in Grimsby, London, Oshawa, Milton, and Toronto. Perhaps these individuals will help by bringing calendars into those areas for pick-up. At this time its looks like a full photo calendar is going to be about $20 after shipping to me. The more I order I think the better, so if anyone wants a calendar for sure, please let me know today how many you'd like. I realize that it might be hard to say without seeing the finished product first. But if anyone knows me, and by looking at my website or any material I have printed, you can expect that I will put out a very good finished product. Plus I am trying to get everyone's dog in the calendar in some capacity. I have told a couple people, and they like the idea I came up with as well. But I don't want to ruin the surprise for everyone, so I'm not telling my plans out loud just yet. This was a last minute nudge however, therefore it really hasn't given everyone enough time to pose some great shots for this years calendar. Last year I only got my new website up in October, the forum shortly followed. Barb and Kerrie were of the first to ask when I was starting a photo contest because they knew it was my plan from day one. But there was no time at all, and a very small forum membership. The forum still needs to grow so that we get some flavour in here. But I feel we have a big enough family right now for me to set up a new area on the forum for a photo contest. I plan to make the calendars an annual event, something that will be done with a cut-off of Nov 30th and delivered the first week of December. This way everyone will have an entire year to work on getting some great shots. The photo contest will be a great place to go for these calendar shots. Some photos might not be print worthy, but they will web worthy. So I will post the winner each month on my website. Any photos submitted on the forum should be saved by you in full format. To be used in a calendar the photo should be something you would buy if you were out shopping for a Dobe calendar yourself. I'm sure you wouldn't buy a picture of a puppy sprawled out on its bed with his manhood on display, or with flash bulb eyes, or some trash in the background. So set-up your shots, and be aware of what is in the background. Set your camera to fine resolution, and work in natural lighting for the best sharpness. Perhaps Ian can chime in here with some photoshooting 101 tips that everyone with a standard digital camera can understand. There is no need to go out and purchase a $2000 camera. It wouldn't hurt though....lol, just kidding. I can't even afford to do that, its been on my wish list for 2 years now. My old Sony with the Carl Zeiss lens is now obsolete, but man that is a good lens. Got a new mid-level DSLR Sony and will eventually invest in the $1400 CZ lens. But for now I will deal with what I have, and most cameras can take a large enough photo to give an 8x10 print. Even the new cell phones can do that. But you need shutter speed to get the right amount of lighting and capture action shots, and that is where the phones and cheap cameras let you down. Be aware of the collar your dog is wearing as well. So many great shots were sent in, but not good candidates because the dog was wearing a prong collar. It will take me forever to photoshop out the collar, and I just don't have that amount of time to work with this year. I will have to colour adjust all the pics, and I will remove eye goopies and blemishes for print. This takes long enough, it would be forever to remove a prong collar. If anyone else has those skills and wants to help me with the work, please email me. It might be too late for this year, but at least I can get the help for next year. All final art work will be submitted tonight. I'm getting excited, but still have a lot of work to do. So off I go!!
