NaturalBushcraft 2013 Calendar - Photo Competition

[Ashley Cawley]

View all submitted photos in the Viewing Gallery (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/calendar-competitions/2013/album/index.html#).


Welcome to the annual...
​
Natural-Bushcraft 2013 Calendar Photo Competition
Where you can submit your favourite Bushcraft photo which can be anything nature/wildlife/landscape/outdoor related and be in with a chance of winning some superb prizes as well as having your photo produced into a calendar!

After the submission period we will close entries and then have a poll for our community to decide which are their favourite 12, the winning photos will then be featured on the calendar which will be put into production and sold to members on here. The production of the final calendar will be organised by my wife and I, we will use an online printing service and will post the prices of the calendar and postage nearer the time of production. This whole project will be done in a non-profit manner.


Prizes
Some superb prizes have kindly been donated by Helle Knives & JEEP/Jakob - For more info see below.



__________________________________________________ ________
Read These Rules Before Entering!


Do not post your photos on this thread.



* Email your photo to calendar@naturalbushcraft.co.uk in the email you should include the following: Put your Forum Username in the Subject line. IPut a title/name for your photo in the body of the email, this will be used in the Poll. Optionally include a month in the body of the email that you think your photo would best suit on the calendar (so ie. a autumnal shot of changing leaf colours might be Sept).Make sure the image is high resolution.



This Photo Competition is open to everyone around the world.



Submitting a photo this does not automatically put your name down to purchase a calendar (so you can take part and don't have to commit to purchasing a calendar).



Closing Date for Submissions is Wednesday 31st October 2012 at 10am.

* By emailing your photo to the address above you are giving permission for your photo to be used on this public, non-profit, calendar project. All photos submitted must be your own or written authorisation must be provided by the person allowing use of their image.

Get out & enjoy nature - Take some photos :)



When I receive submissions, I will post them onto this thread anonymously so that voting later on is fair. Do not post photos yourself onto this thread - if you do they will be deleted. If you have any problems emailing in a photo please PM me on here.

We will try to get all submissions, voting and production done before Christmas so this calendar could make a wonderful Christmas gift for friends, family or other Bushcraft folk!

Please do not post asking to be put on a list to buy one of the calenders yet (we will organise that later on).

[Ashley Cawley]

I'm having lots of people submitting multiple photos, until I know the one photo you would like to use I can publish any, so please submit just one photo.

[AdrianRose]

I'm having lots of people submitting multiple photos, until I know the one photo you would like to use I can publish any, so please submit just one photo.

So does that mean only one entry per member Ash?

Ade.

[Adam Savage]

So does that mean only one entry per member Ash?

Ade.

To save Ash having to answer...Yes. One entry per forum member. This would be to ensure everyone has an equal chance in the competition aspect of the calendar.
Last year there was a possibility to change your chosen image toward the end, but I'm not sure if that will happen this time. It starts to get confusing when things like that happen, and creates extra work for Ash. Please keep in mind that Ash is a very busy chap as it is, without adding to the list of things to do :)

All the best

Adam

[Ben Casey]

I should have some next weekend if thats not to late :)

[Adam Savage]

I should have some next weekend if thats not to late :)

I hope you mean one, rather than some :p Unless of course you mean some to choose from, to get your best one ;)

Closing date is 31st October, so you have just over three weeks to find one you like :)

[Ben Casey]

I mean one :p But I will be taking a few LOL I have something up my sleeve mind you I will need everything I can find if last years comp is anything to go by :D

[Adam Savage]

I'm sure you'll get a fantastic photo mate.
You could just get a picture of that wild friend of yours (Ken) in his natural environment. That would be a first class shot :)

Wow, the quality of images this year doesn't disappoint. Keep up the good work fellas :)

[Ben Casey]

I wish I was that good I don't stand a chance :( Brill pictures though :)

[Adam Savage]

Everyone stands a chance mate. Look at my entry last year. It wasn't anything special and it made it through. As long as you get a good angle, and good subject matter, it's worthy of entry.

[Likantropo]

Time to charge batteries and bring the camera out! The prizes are great. Thanks for the opportunity. Best wishes and good luck to all.

[Likantropo]

Hello everyone.

I have seen the photos that Ashley has posted so far. They are great! Competition will be very challenging indeed.

It's a shame I didn't read this earlier - I spent a couple of days camping / walking around Dartmoor a couple of weekends ago...

Due to the weight, I didn't take my gert gait 'uge camera and just took a small point&click camera - now I wish I'd taken the biggun.

Ah well, time to get back out there :)

I'll have to dig out some other photos from earlier in the year too... when we had that amazing summer :confused2:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the other person whomever he OR she is for voting for my photograph.
I now know that 50% of the votes that I have received came from someone else, "with no photographic skill or taste",
its nice to know that I am not alone.

Thanks for letting Toby know it's closed to entries now Adam.

hehe... There's no easy way for me to stop people voting on their own, it says pick your fav six so I'm happy knowing that photo-owners might give their own photo one vote - that's fine :)

[Humakt]

I didn't think we could vote for our own!
Shame on those who did...:shocked:


Just wish I'd bloody thought of it. :confused2:

Thanks for letting Toby know it's closed to entries now Adam.

No problem. It's easy to miss the last posts on threads if you have just found them. I've done it myself. Read the first page, posted a comment, then seen it's already been covered on the last page that I didn't even read :oops:

It's a friendly community. I'm sure no one will get upset if folk vote for their own photo. Looking at the number of votes for the top choices, I don't think those odd votes will make any difference to the outcome :)

Yeah, absolutely.
It's not something that bothers me in the least - I was only joking!
If I look at the ones I voted for then, as you say, it would make no difference to the positions.

[biker-bri]

Did I or didn't I mmmm ?

[Ashley Cawley]

We need more votes one and all to make a decision. There are only 2 more days to vote for your favourite photos!

To get this done quickly I will post a poll in the moderators section to pick the Mods favourite out of the two, again this will be done anonymously.

[Ashley Cawley]

[AL...]

Well done Adrian :D

By the way Ash Ye will find that my photo was #14 and not #19 mate :D

Cheers
AL

[Silverback]

Well done Adrian. Some stunning pics this year

[AdrianRose]

Well what can i say?

Thanks guys and gals. I must admit that when I first saw the calibre of entries I thought I had no chance at all. There were some stunning entries for sure, which just highlights the wonderful world in which we live and the woodlands that we prefer to call home, if only for a night or two.

Originally I wasnt going to use this picture at all because my wife (who is using the firesteel in the picture) said her hands looked "really old". Fortunately I lied to her and said they looked fine!!

Also a HUGE thanks to Ash and the rest of the mods for taking the time to run this competition and all the fellow entrants. Also a BIG thank you to Helle and to our very own Jeep who's generosity knows no bounds as always.

I'm sure that like me, everybody wracked their brains over which photo was their best to put forward for the competition. Which got me thinking, could there be a thread where we could upload our "pic of the day" if we were out and caught a good image to share?

Not sure about the sites capacity for storage etc as the photos could take up some room, what do you think Ash buddy?

Anyway, thanks again folks and I shall ofcourse do a video of the knife when I proudly receive it.

All the best
Ade.

[jus_young]

Welcome to the very prestigious 'Winners Club' Ade.

Nice work to everyone else aswell. Look forward to this years calender, it can join last years in its untouched pristine condition. I am going to collect all of them and in years to come I can sell them all for a fortune and buy my own wood ;)

[alvino78]

We could keep the site capacity out of it by having a Flickr group and then linking pics from it.

...Which got me thinking, could there be a thread where we could upload our "pic of the day" if we were out and caught a good image to share? Not sure about the sites capacity for storage etc as the photos could take up some room, what do you think Ash buddy?I'm sure we can organise something like this.


We could keep the site capacity out of it by having a Flickr group and then linking pics from it.
Great suggestion, I've got a Flickr Pro account and have been making more use of it recently so I'll look into seting up a group.


... and I shall ofcourse do a video of the knife when I proudly receive it.Great to hear - look forward to it.


Look forward to this years calender, it can join last years in its untouched pristine condition. I am going to collect all of them and in years to come I can sell them all for a fortune and buy my own wood ;)lol, I might join you! I'm looking forward to this years as well, I'm still enjoying this years, it's on the wall in my office more for the pictures than keeping me organised!

[alvino78]

thanks to everyone for the votes i really enjoyed watching the competition progress and the outstanding quality of the entries, to Ash and the moderators I give thanks and congratulate you on a top quality site where friends are made and knolwedge shared. Here's to next year and a packed twelve months of as much getting out as possible.... Thank you also to Jakob for his donations to the competition and site in general I salute you sir!
Beast regards Al:happy-clapping:

[Shewie]

Ooh, sneaks into 2nd :)

Well done all, and a massive thanks to Jeep for his generosity with the prize giving, I can see the knife getting plenty of use in the future.

Ok folks, now we need to work out numbers for ordering these calendars, if you want one or more of these community calendars then please let me know (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=1) and I will put together a list.

I think the calendar will cost around £13-16 the price depends on what quantity we can bulk order, postage costs and any discounts we can find in the meantime. As always this will be done in a purely non-profit manner.

Just to give you an idea here is a sample from last year's calendar:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/218966/Forums/NBC/images/calendar-sample1.PNG

So to start the list:



Ashley Cawley
PM me if you want one. (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=1)

[Ashley Cawley]

Keep an eye out for any Photobox Calendar offers!
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/218966/Forums/NBC/images/photobox-logo.jpg

Last year we managed to get a 20% discount on our calendars, Photobox quite often give out many offers & discount codes at this time of year so I will ask you all to please keep an eye out everywhere; junk-mail, online/TV for any Photobox offers relating to Calendars as it could make this calendar cheaper for all of us.
T^
Thanks all.

I'll happily promote it on my site, blog and social media outlets if you don't mind crediting my company on the page with my photo ;)Thanks to this project not being monetarily motivated I'm in no way concerned in the number of sales, therefore the extent to which this is advertised doesn't concern me either, infact an insane amount of sales would only result in more work for me.

So I'll proudly say that no company name will be put onto any of the calendar pages - Sorry!

If you are outside the UK and still want a Calendar the postage will have to be calculated for you on an individual basis and it may cost a fair bit more.

Great news! - The calendars have been ordered and they're cheaper than first anticipated. It's look like they are going to be around the £10 mark now as I managed to talk Photobox into a 50% discount! This new price includes what it should cost me to post it to you as well :o

I'll checkout Paypal fees but this shouldn't amount to much.

I'm told they will all arrive to me on the 17th Dec and I will get them out ASAP, you never know they might be with you before Christmas.


I have ordered 2 additional Calendars
So there are 2 more up for grabs to the first folk who say they want them!

[Ashley Cawley]

If you've put your name on the list for a Caldendar then could you please PM me your address (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=1), thank you :)

[Ashley Cawley]

bugger i suppose this means i dont get one? i thought if yer pic was chosen you got one! LOLNo! lol.. we've never said that anywhere, plus if I were to do that for 12 who were picked, at Photoboxes normal prices that would cost me over £200 to give-away 12! :eek:

As I said in a recent post (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?4196-NaturalBushcraft-2013-Calendar-Photo-Competition&p=63496&viewfull=1#post63496) I have ordered two spare... as I'm used to this; as soon as I announced I've place everyones orders someone comes along moaning they wanted one! :p

If you would like to order one drop me a PM, they're going to be around £10 delivered.

[fish]

Yeah I might do this, I was thinking of posting these on Monday but think I might not as there's something else on it's way to me in the post that I *might* include in each of these, nothing special just a little extra hopefully.
