A thought. Calendars are quite often advertisements as well. Could take that approach.

A yearly calendar can be all kinds of things.

Mutual of Omaha does a much coveted yearly calendar. Hard to get on the list to get one. So, it's only animals. Sometimes the animal is some snow covered beast for January. Other months, sometimes the animal is simply funny, or in a setting which represents what we might wish for that month -- some warm, sunny shot for February.

btw: I can not see how the Playboy calendarĂ¢€™s girls always represent the meaning of the month.

In the end, this is a Free Study. There are travel calendars, Puppy Calendars, Architecture, Flowers, Industrial, Pin-ups, Products, Religious, and on and on and on ...

The only voting strategy that makes sense is to vote it as a Free Study. [for laughs]But heaven help the photographer that submits a dark, too small, out of focus and tilted photo![/for laughs]

I vote for Dr,Jones! :)

Ok, the title of your submission should be the month the photo would represent. Fair enough.

Obviously, well I imagine so, we'll get a lot of November type photos. Fair enough.

Typical, as this is a Northern hemisphere dominated site, idea of November is beautiful autumn/fall trees, with their amazing coloured leaves, stuff like that. Basically starting to have a colder feel to them.

I go out and take, for instance, an image of kids playing on the beach ... as here in Australia we are in beach-mode.

Dilema:

1) Beach shot called "November". For Aussies it looks just right. For most of the world an image like that would never say November.

2) Cater for the Northerners, same photo, call it "July". Cop out, and doubtless some will question it's authticity, but not request the DQ, just vote down.

Southern types will, obviously, see an autumn/fall photo and although here is spring, recognise that as a November. But I doubt northern types would recognise our spring conditions as a November.

Not a whine here at all .... just a pondering I guess on what way I would name a photo if it were a beach (which it isn't as I haven't even taken anything yet :)


How about both? I haven't read all the posts here so I may be repeating but I see no reason why you couldn't call it Northern July or Southern November... Let your viewers pick which seems right to them. Ann

The question really is, does the title have to be ONLY the month name? Or can we add words? I guess it's up to the voters, but what do you think?

I sure hope so as I already submitted and my title included more than the Motnh.

I've been wondering the same thing and have changed my title worried about anal voters. Would hate to have a good photo voted down because of it,

A series of twelve related images can be (and has been - many times) used as a theme for a calendar. I don't see how this can be looked at as anything other than a Free Study. ...The only difference is that you need to title your image with the name of a month.

i'll be ignoring the titles during voting

I'd call it "November in Australia" atleast more people will get it, not everyone tho, I'm sure. If you just spoke sooner I would mail you some rusty leaves so you can play :))
