need member falconry photos- NAFEX calender

[Chris L.]

Ok guys, just came up with an Idea.. I know it is February but I will be stating to make yearly NAFEX calenders, I will do one for this year as well... What I would like to do is get the members to submit your best photos and I pick 12 to go into a calender.

No one will know the pictures that are being used until the calender comes out. I think it would be cool to see your picture on a calender and see others from real falconers.

Again, I will be doing this yearly.. just a little behind this year.. damn brain needs to hurry up with the thoughtsfrus

What are your thoughts on this?

Exactly how i feel.. I think it would be neat to see a NAFEX member calender... No Wes, not shots of you in a thong, holding your harris and your dog

I want a falconry calender done by falconers, lets see some action shots or just pictures of your birds.. what ever you think others would enjoy for 30 days ..



if so lets get some pictures posted.. February is almost over.. I want to make one for 08

[robhawkyyz]

'08 is cool.. you are late , work on the '09 calender now... sounds cool but , T-shirt , patches, sound like the way, although a nafex calender sounds sweet also ...

[kimmerar]

Yes Chris - Do it!! I have been getting quotes on getting a calender made this last week. How funny. I agree on working on the 09 calenders

[...and a girl]

Chris
should we post the pictures on this thread or send them to you differently?

Kim, that place that does my t-shirts does calenders as well. I am going to see the price. I think its around 18 dollars.. do you have a quote yet?

Chris

Sabrina, yes please post them here.

Again, if you would like your picture in the calender please post them here

thanks everyone

[kimmerar]

This is gonna be a good thread!!

I have one quote so far - it was done through the internet. I'll forward it on to you if you send me an e-mail - ecoman00@swbell.net. It is a lot better price but I requested a big order soo....

Here's two of my favorites

1st bird


2nd bird


I know there are a lot better pics out there but I had to include at least one of a kbird.

[Chris L.]

awesome pics of your kestrel. You can be guaranteed that the first one will be in it. thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. They look great. These are the kind of photos that will make a NAFEX calendar top notch.

Thank you again

[kimmerar]

Cool Chris. Thanks. I didn't think we had a shot with Andy and his pics he's been posting. That is my first bird Sky - she was an awesome hunter. She didn't miss.

[tacatanach]

Here's three of my falcon that a friend of mine took at NAFA, I've cropped it so hes bigger, but I've got the original also.

[hawkstir]

Here's one for ya! My 1st PMRT Mischiff on a bunny.

[Chris L.]

Bill,

.... the brain just isnt what she used to be.. must be all the malted hops and barley adding up!



Dave and Jeff, great pictures thank you. I like the Christmas picture idea

[Eagle Owl]

Here are a couple I took of a friend's HH.

[chamokane]

I posted this one on another thread but I still like it. When I walked up to him I could hear him muttering, "I caught it and I'm going to eat the whole thing."

[chamokane]

Brandi, that first photo is really great.

[Chris L.]

Brandi,
great pictures.. love the first one for sure.

Dave, thank you for the long wing pictures. I was wondering if any long wingers wanted to post.. thank you

[awahl]

Here are a few of my favorites. I have some more at work I can take a look through.

[laj]

Love all the pics, especially the first Harris and the Merlin. I just started to take pics of my bird and will invest in a good camera next season. Here is a shot I took of my Harris yesterday...not calender worthy but I thought it was funny the way he looked at the bunny. It's like he is thinking "what now?"

[Lee Slikkers]

Got a few, sent em to your email Chris...lol, have fun!

[kimmerar]

Got a few, sent em to your email Chris...lol, have fun!

[Lee Slikkers]

Don't worry, you're not missing much...I only emailed them cause I was afraid to eat up the bandwidth here, I think I sent him 23 or 24 pics Most don't meet Calandar grade though...trust me.

[kimmerar]

Sure!! Hopefully Chris will show us a few good ones.

[stewbutter]

wow was going to post some of mine but after seeing the ones above I better go take some more pics. Nice pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FredFogg]

Here is a few of the red-tail, I will try and dig out some action shots of the coops! Not sure if they are calendar worthy, but I like them!

[John]

[Lee Slikkers]

That looks pretty familiar...Is it an Englert edition?

[FredFogg]

Here is another that I thought was pretty cool! I am not good with cropping pictures, but I think if you just took the bottom half the picture and cropped into into a square, it would be really good! The squirrel looks like it is sky diving! LOL

Those are a couple birds I had a few years ago. I took the pic, but he did make the hood.

[Chris L.]

Guys keep the pics coming.. I really appreciate the interest in this. It will be worth it when it is done.

Again thank you for the great pictures
