2023 Forum Calendar Contest!

[Jurmuscle]

So you have to upload to the forum as well. Or can just submit to the link?

Anyone?

Instructions were pretty clear and specific above. Read carefully, like she said.

Not to be rude but you would know the answer to your question if you read the first post. There are at least three separate reminders of how important it is to actually read the whole first post. Not only that but the reminders are also highlighted to further stress the importance of reading the whole post.

I would still recommend reading the first post in its entirety but, with reluctance I will tell you, yes you must upload to the forum as well.

I read the full post. And had a question that's why I asked. Thanks for the Info. I love when community members come together to help each other

You’re welcome! I would still recommend you read the whole first post. It has a lot of important information regarding entering the contest.

I did already before I even asked. Thank you.

Man, I had a great pic selected. But unfortunately I always take pictures in horizontal mode. Because that's the right way to do it on the phone.

it's the right way to do it for everything. don't let them tell you any different. just recreate your picture in the wrong orientation for this contest. :)

Dang, I need winter and a hard freeze.

oh yeah. that might be tough. haha what about cropping? maybe the image has enough information for a vertical crop?

No I think I was too close. It was my winter ice Manix. Knife goes edge to edge.

See, that's what I thought they wanted when I tried to submit mine. Make the knife the focal point and try to minimize the background a bit. Not sure how all the conversions and pixels and stuff work, but this didn't fit the format if that would somehow help anybody here for this year.

knew we'd see Rick here!

good luck to everyone!

you know, I was thinking that the theme/format for this year is the same it's been for the previous two years

why keep repeating the horizontal pics style? shake it up a bit

Hopefully this works! Will be posting this with higher resolution on the other website soon. If for some reason the “SALT” font on the salt bowl is a restriction for posting let me know, I have a different dragonfly picture without it that I can post.

Wanted to have a spring/summer appeal with this one. This is a Spyderco Dragonfly with lemons and limes around it (all cut with the dragonfly of course). The salt bowl was my great grandmothers, and fits perfectly with the salt knife theme. Hoping y’all enjoy it!

Thx. I love the color on those scales very much. Funny thing is this sprint is actually foilage green. And i hope spyderco will use it again sometime. (Thx Yablanowitz)

Not OD (Olive Drab) green. It was Foliage Green, matched specifically to the color developed for the military, intended to blend with a variety of background colors.

Nice thx i did not know it was Foliage green. Since my OD green micarta on my yojimbo scales look very similar i thought this was the same color.

Hey, Rick:
If I recall correctly, the issue was the size of your file - it wasn't high-resolution. It wasn't the composition of the image, just that the file was too small for print. If we try to format a low-res image for print at the size we need for the calendar, the image is horribly pixelated. I hope this helps clear that up for everyone.
