Contest #4 - Orchid Calendar

[lrbaldwin]

Marty, you said you've received a lot of entries. I haven't had time to send anything in yet, but if you have a whole bunch of some varieties and not enough of some others, let us know what holes you need to fill. Then I'll know where to concentrate (if I happen to have something you need).

Thanks,
Linda

Not all of them are usable though as either the subject is not in good focus or the res is too small. I could use a couple of cool slipper pictures

[lrbaldwin]

How about some wild ones? Would that be acceptible for the calendar?

[Laura]

wild orchids that would be cool

I think I have a relatively high res version of this pic...I'll have to check.

...here's another addition to the photos... my Epi. pseudonocturnum... I dunno, it kinda looks interesting...

(I have this in higher resolution, this is just so you can actually see it)

Hey Marty

I sent you that shot of Paph boxalii - are you looking for any Paph shot in particular?

I'm working on sending those raws at this time -

I've attached a copy of my photo of Cat bicolor as an experiment to see what happens on this forum

Cheers
Stephan

Hey Stephan, that attached photo is definitely noted

no particulars, just whatever, this calendar won't have any rhyme or reason to it, just nice pictures.

Maybe later on, we will make one that is based on a theme, but for now...any nice pic will do the job

That reminds me of something I was thinking about when finding images to enter for the current calendar. Given a year's notice, folks could be looking for seasonal (monthly) theme opportunities. I don't have anything that would be particularly appropriate now, but I'm attaching one that Art used during his presentation at the World Orchid Conference in Dijon. All the wines are from that region. They liked it so much that they put it on the back cover of the book they published about the conference. Entries could include a fitting phrase or sentence. For example, the grouping of complex paphs I sent you might work for September because I think they look like school girls in class with one of them not paying attention: "Now class, pay attention." I'm sure OB members could come up with something better for the text.

Orchids and Burgundy

Anyhow, it's just a thought.

Thanks,
Linda
