Thanks Lady_MCSE! This should clear up alot of people's questions about photo size. It's very important that you guys remember to follow these guidelines. We will NOT be able to even consider your photo(s) if it's not big enough.

Please note that high quality means that it can't be blurry. If your pic is blurry, it will not make the cut.

Thanks for your contributions to the calendar!

Attention Picasa Users!!!

I finally got around to downloading this program for photo management. It's one of the free programs that Google offers from their website. And I had heard good things about it, but not had an opportunity to use it yet.

One thing I found out is that Picasa automatically shrinks photo images for you as you send them through email! (I HATE it when programs "assume" something for you!)

If you use Picasa and would like to submit an entry to the calendar, you must change this option setting before you send the photo.
  • Open Picasa
  • Click on the Tools Menu
  • Choose "Options"
  • In the dialog box, click the "Email" Tab
  • For Output Options, sending a single picture, set it to the "original size" radio button. (see picture below)
  • Then when you send your photos, be sure to send them one per email message.

Maybe that's why alot of the photos are too small when they are sent in?! Thanks Lady_MCSE!

Question

Do the photos have to be color?

It's okay to submit but color photos are strongly preferred and more likely to make it into the calendar.

WOW!
I just got caught up on the calendar contest submissions. WOW!
We have some really amazing photographers on HT.
We have some even more amazingly beautiful horses on HT.

I am glad I won't be deciding the winners.

Good Luck to ALL.
