2009 HGS Calendar Contest!

I thought it would be really neat to make a calendar of HGS member's horses. So heres the task:

Submit your "Bob Langrish" calendar-quality photos. Each member can enter up to 3 photos. I will let this contest open for longer than usual to make sure that everyone has a chance to enter and so that you can wait until warmer weather to get some better pictures. I will stop taking entries in July. The top 12 photos will be used to create a calendar, and the runners-up will be used in various places throughout the calendar. The winning photo member will recieve a free HGS calendar. When it is finished, it will be available to be purchased by all members.

Photo Requirements:
  • Must be a good quality, High resolution picture that will print well and wont be blurry when sized to an 8 x 10
  • 3 photos per member- You MUST be the photographer or in the picture. Please have permission if you do not own the horse.
  • Along with the picture, please include the names of the horses/people/other animals in the picture.
  • Try to enter pictures of all seasons to make the selection unique.
  • All photos must be landscape-style
Landscape= Portrait= NO PORTRAITS!
I will design the calendars and purchase them through Wal*Mart or Staples. I dont have price quotes yet, but when it is finished I can post prices. If you think you will be interested in buying one, please note that on your post so I can get an idea of how many I will need to purchase. They will only be available through paypal and buyer must pay the price +shipping.

Have Fun! PM me with any questions, and try to keep it to one post per person since I have a feeling this will be a big contest.
** EDIT! I forgot to add that if you would like, enter thumbnails for now and if your picture wins I will PM you for the original version. Thanks!

Here are some wintery ones... question... Should we enter them using a different program that won't alter the quality of them?? They might be rather large that way tho. Hmmm..
Horses: Pablo and Ali

I've got a few shots

Summer: Me riding Pie (does this one qualify as landscape? let me know if it doesn't. IMO it does). Photographer is my trainer (if this picture is picked I will supply you with her name).


Autumn: Buddy saying hello to one of the mares. I'm the photographer.
~taking it's sweet time to upload, I'll be back later to add it~

Winter: Buddy running in the snow. I'm the photographer.


I may add another... if I can find one I like. Alas I have many MANY good calendar shots, but they are all of horses I do not own and I have no way of contacting their owner.
