2009 Wheel Horse Calendar

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345]

It's time to get started on our 2009 Wheel Horse Calendar project. I'm open to all suggestions on format, pictures, software, etc. Also I'm open to who ever wants to tackle this project (I did it last year with help from some members).

Anyways, here's what I'm thinking.

1. First off, a cover picture. Last year we had a red barn with the names "Wheel Horse" and "Toro" on it with a line up Wheel Horses in the front of it. This year, after seeing Stephen's (Tickster) little line up after cleaning the garage, I was thinking a cover photo of all generations, or maybe a variety of different eras, i.e. 40's, 50's, 60's, etc. So any one who can contribute, I appreciate it.

2. At least 3 snow removing pictures for those winter months. I know Micah (Mainedad) had some awesome pictures, so I would like him to submit a couple. Also, wouldn't it be neat to have a Christmas theme one (how about TT's snow tractor).

3. Work tractors, show tractors, tractors that's been posed, tractors working, etc., they are all candidates. Sometimes a faded one is just as pretty as a newly restored one.

4. Tractors with unique implements, FEL's (Eldon, we used yours last year, so I would like to have another one this year), front mowers, generators, sickle mowers, etc.

5. I don't want to duplicate any picture from last year.

6. High resolution pictures a must.

7. Some suggestions on what software to use. Maybe a volunteer who is good at this sort to thing to do this.

8. Any suggestions won't be turned down if it's a good one.

You can respond here or send me an email or PM me with your pictures, suggestions, software recommendations, etc. Last year Karl was kind enough to convert my file into a pdf, so we can do that again this year if need be.

Guys, this is our calendar - it's YOUR calendar, so let's see some participation. Thanks.

Under edit: One more thing - with picture, name, location and tractor model or a description would be nice. Thanks again.

Under edit no. 2: I almost forgot. As I look at my pictures, I don't think they're anything special and often think no one else wants to see it. If you think that way, you might be wrong, submit it anyway as others WANT to see. But, on the other hand, we can only use 12 photos (13 with the cover), so if we don't use yours, if wasn't because it wasn't deserving, it was because we are limited to 12 months. It's the nature of the beast. B)

TMO... I'll email you this one in high res. Use it if you like... I think it would make a nice spring or summer.... Picture was taken May 25... Memorial Day.

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345]

Thanks, Jason, that would be a good one. Thanks for submitting it - I got your email.

This might be ok for a fall picture. Its an older picture so Im not sure about high res. Also someone with better software might have been able to bring out the colors without making the tractor so dark.

Original picture before enhancing the colors. clickable thumb,

I stuck this to the top for now, so we don't lose track of it.

Nice pic Nick! B)

I nominate TT's BT for one of the Summer Fun pics. He sent me a link to the pic, but it's on my other 'puter.

Hopefully, I'll have the wind chime tractors done in time to submit

Maybe we can round up a good pic of the WH tent at the show for a cover shot?

You can only see the back end of the tractor, but this is a classic:

Good ones, guys. I would like to try and get hi-resolution ones, if possible. Nick, your's is a good one, hopefully the resolution is good enough.

For those who didn't see last year's calendar or for those who forgot, here's a link to it:

I have this picture of the RS tent from the show. It's a little dark because of the angle of the sun though.

[Nick 13]

I will have a nice high res pic of my just restored 8-8spd horse later this afternoon. Need to get the mower deck back on it. Mike

[dieselhorse 0]

Here are a couple of pics, if you want one, PM me I have the high res ones taken with a 5.0 digital camara. Tractor is a 1973 8-8spd. Mike and Michele T.

Nick's pic gets my vote. it's a must.

Nick, since I was in picture edit mode today I tweaked it a little. Fixed that tail light too!

Here's the pic I was looking for of TT's BT:

How do you guy's load these pictures on here more than 1 at a time. Plus I got to go and play around changing the MB to fit.

:whistle:

Use a remote host.

See THIS POST.

[bo dawg 478]

Now I see, I looked for this photo bucket thing before and couldn't find it.

TT... you are a big help I'm going to check it out.

Thanks :whistle:

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345]

Maybe January's picture:

Micah I used the picture from your thread back in January this year. But if you have any high resolution ones, that would be better I think.

Also, if any suggestions on format, let me have it. B)

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345]

Or how about this:
