woollyback · #1 (**permalink**) 05-12-2007, 05:42 PM

Right folks,

I need a bit of help and maybe we can produce a thread that will be helpful to all.

I am about to finish my work sponsored MSC course so will have some more time next year to get out and about. However I am not too sure where and what and when.

I live in North East but have no probs with travelling... so the question to all who would like to comment is,

What do people look forward to photographing and when. so In january etc say, what should I be looking out for and where is best place to get it?.

Hope this makes sense and some kind folks will be able to help me out.

Cheers

Rob

PS hoping to have new 40D by then too.

if you fill in your details in the link below you will get a free Nature of Britain/Open University calendar (from the Titchmarsh TV series) which provides pointers each month as to the species to look out for. I filled in my details and received the calendar within a few days

Thanks Matt. I have asked for one. I have made my own calendar featuring pictures taken throughout this year and shown in the corresponding months for 2008. I printed off copies for family etc but ran out of card for mine. It is ill wind.....

Lots of wildfowl about in the winter. How about visiting your nearest Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust reserve? They have a site in Tyne and Wear called Washington or Martin Mere in Lancashire is worth a visit at any time of year. Just type WWT into google for their website.

Hope this is what you were after...

What a good idea. What card do you use ?

p.s. How do you bind the pages ?

I use Olmec 230gsm Heavyweight Matt if you want to make notes on the calendar or Permajet 300gsm if for display only.

Staples stores offer a metal spiral bind with hanger, clear plastic front sheet, card backing sheet (pretty much a pro appearence) for around £4-5. Tell you exactly how much tomorrow as I have 9 to do. Last year the price was around a tenner including printing but I print my own.

Hope this helps.
