It's that time of year for starting the design of the 2013/2556 Thaivisa Calendar. Last three years calendars, 2010/2011/2012 were a great success due to the excellent photo contributions from Thaivisa members.

I would like to do this again this year and hope to see members posting their photo contributions here to include in the next Calendar.

Requirements:

1. Photo should be taken within Thailand
   
2. Landscape mode (wide). Portrait mode is possible if it can be cropped properly to fit the calendar's format.
   
3. Minimum 1200 pixels wide as the calendar will be printable and need the resolutions to be high for good print quality.
   
4. By posting your images here you give Thaivisa permission to use them in the Calendar. Credit will be given through watermarks on the photos unless a member specifically wishes it not to be.
   

This topic will be open for 4 weeks and the photos presented to the mod/Admin team for initial cuts in selecting the photos. If there are insufficient photos that are considered suitable for the calendar, either previous contributions will be recycled or free use photos from the Internet will be used.

Looking forward to seeing this years contributions.

Note: - If you see a photo(s) that you really like please use the Like button for the poster. It will help with the decision process.

Will start it off with a few of the first shots with my new Panasonic GH2 camera.

This is what last years calendar looks like to give you an idea - 2012/2555 Thaivisa Calendar

The lord knows I'm not a good photographer, but here some pics of the Royal Flora In Chiang Mai from early this year.

Hope it will start the contest, as I really enjoyed the photos that people send in the last couple of years.

Thanks Preacher, beginning to worry there was no interest. Quite nice shots there. For others, don't be shy and have some fun putting up your favorites.

some pics from my bangkok stay... All the best with your project

Most of these were taken around my family's village of Ban Pho, Nong Khai. I have larger versions of many of these but they are too big to upload.

I am a professional artist (painter) my web gallery at http://www.jeremyholton.com is the oldest in the world and has nearly 1,000 of my paintings in it.

could you please give some quick instructions on how to attach photos.

Just reply and select the 'More Reply Options' from the bottom right. It allows you to upload photos and then attach them to your post. That's what I did and it seemed to work:)

Here is a random selection from my photo album (original images are all 4000x3000 pixels; jpg format):

May be we should ad a little truth to the calendar. Here are two examples from Kho Hong near Hat Yai:

back of Tu Tuk Chaing Mai

Love the Tuk Tuk, no boom boom, very un-Thai

Here we go! Images from Chumpon, Koa Toa. Koh Phengan, Samui and Thali Noi Songhkla... and one lonely Orchid growing in the wild, from Trang ...... not necessarily that order!

Some pics of my travels in Loei, Krabi, Phi Phi & Chiang Mai

Some photos were taken in Bangkok and only one was from Chiang Rai.

photos of Hua Hin beach, pond at Ayutthaya, road to school at Khok Po Chai (Khon Kaen prov.),

flowers by the Mae Khong at Nong Khai, happy family on train at Udon Thani, the grand entrance to the city of Khon Kaen

Some great photos appearing here. It would be a pity if these are not utilised once the calendar pics have been chosen.

Any chance of having a few 'pinned' for viewing thru the year?
