Editing of Potential Calendar Shots 2016

[F, Calla & Luca]

If you would like critiques and/or help with editing of potential calendar shots post them here. Members often volunteer to help. Please post the original photo unedited if you want help. The helper will probably ask you to email the original photo. Before you ask for help on your photos read the Guidelines for the calendar and keep them in mind when taking photos and when posting here. Remember to take the best quality, ie large file size and highest resolution your camera can take.

An easy way to see if your photo meets the minimum calendar requirements is to use Jeffrey's exif viewer.

You can pop your photo's URL in the proper place and you will get lots of metadata including # of pixels. there is a ton of information but the number of pixels is what you need. Calendar pictures must be 2300 pixels wide by 1800 pixels high.

Maybe you could try resetting your camera back to the default settings.

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

If I knew how to do that, I would. I am exhausted. Picture day is so stressful!!!

[Jenny and Cooper]

Hang in there Lori! You still have a few hours left! :D

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Try Googling it and see if they can help. Wait until tomorrow :)

Lori, Are you like my youngest daughter who put off her homework until the last possible minute. LOL Sometimes, mom had to get involved and "help". 

OK, ok...I Googled it for you....

To restoring Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera to it's factory settings, conform to the following instructions:

1. Press the MENU button.
2. Scroll the dial to select the SETUP 4 tab.
3. Scroll down the dial to highlight the “Clear all camera settings” and press SET button.

Chuckle chuckle.  You could always call the camera company...I'm sure they'd be glad to help if you cannot figure it out.  Personally, I can't wait until next year at this time!  I love seeing how the pictures get better and better each year!  So exciting.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Lori, Make sure your camera is not in Auto mode when you clear your settings. Only because you won't have all the options in the menu button on the back in Auto. Hope that makes sense.

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Oh, thank you for your help Laurie! You are a kind soul to take pity on me. I actually had all my "work" done but I get stressed over making the right choices. I did get all my submissions in about an hour ago.

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

WOW...A whole hour ago...way ahead of schedule Miss Lori! LOL...good thing we don't turn the clocks back til November!  Good night.  

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Good job, Lori! I know it is hard to narrow those shots down and then I second guess every one I send.

[Jenny and Cooper]

Beautiful picture of Lucy!!! Great fix Camilla!

[F, Calla & Luca]

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]
