2009 Bearded Dragon Calendar images needed!

[bmmst1]

hey i have a question about the dimensions. how do i change to make the suitable for the calender?

 

[beardie]

Don't worry about specific dimensions. I will crop and adjust as needed. It can vary depending on where in the layout your image is placed.

Cheers,

Will we be notified if our beardie makes it into the calendar?

 

[beardie]

I will not be sending out notifications. I will however be posting a "preview" of the pages before I officially make the calendar available. I will reply on this thread, as well as create a new announcement thread with previews of the calendar pages. The primary purpose is so people can double check for their beardie and that the names are correct. I plan to include one picture of each beardie, so more than likely, if you submitted a picture, your beardie will be in the calendar. I've been able to do this for the last 4 years, so I don't foresee this year being any different.

ok well i have all my photos on photo bucket. i copied the image code so it should come up but if not is it ok you get it from photo bucket? if you have a problem just let me know

 

[beardie]

I do prefer to have images emailed as attachments. Any photos uploaded to Photobucket automatically get modified and usually resized to something smaller than cameras take. I can work with them, but they are less likely to be considered for full page use.

One of the images might be usable. The other is definitely too small. If you could email the original image files that you uploaded to Photobucket (as attachments), that would be better.

ok, ill resend them both, sorry i didnt realize photobucket resized them

 

[beardie]

Yeah... many people don't. I'm not familiar enough with it to know if they have an "original" size option or not. And they may have changed what they do... but sending files as attachments helps ensure I get what people intend to send.

Thanks!

are the photos i sent workable? i took them with my cell and im not sure if they're good enough...

 

[beardie]

The one you re-sent is a bit too blurry. However, the one with him looking to the left is usable. If you manage to get one taken with a regular digital camera, please send an additional one for me to consider.

Thanks,

hello alex, i just sent two pics of LG. i have many more so if these two are sub-standard please let me know before the deadline and i can try to get better ones :wink: .

 

[MissT]

Ok, so i think iv finally got both of my beardies sent through.

However, I sent Abu's photos through on the 7th September and have just realised I put a 'FW' in the subject line (i saved the email and forwarded it later!!) Did you receive this anyway or will I need to resend her images??

Thanks

Hi Alex, I sent you my pics a while ago. Sorry I'm asking this late but did you get the pics of Duke ok? And are they big enough to consider for a full page? Sorry for the short notice. Hope you don't have to dig through your inbox to find mine!

 

[beardie]

MissT: Yes, I got both emails. My filters look for the string I mentioned, but will catch it if there's a Re: or a FWD: in front of it too.

duke11: I got your one email as well, and yes, either picture is high enough resolution to be considered for full page.

One nice thing about when people include the info, it makes it easy enough to look up when I need to. Typically, you should get an auto-reply from my email client when I receive the email (when I open my email program, not just when it's sent). At least, I think it's configured to work right. If the subject doesn't match right, and I have to manually move the email, you won't get the auto-reply, but I still have it.

Near the end, I will post previews, so you can all double check if I got your beardie included. We can make corrections at that time if something got missed or is incorrect.
