Photo opportunities required - charity calender. - Page 1

Posted on behalf of a fellow photographer based in Skipton, North Yorkshire, UK.  Photos need to be in LANDSCAPE format.

 Hi members and guests,

To put you quickly in the picture - I have been asked to take photographs of German Shepherd, Labrador and Springer spaniel dogs (or bitches - no sexism here !!), that will be used for a 2009 calendar. There will be 500 calendars produced in total and will be sold to raise funds for a retired (Lancashire) police dog fund. i.e. retired police dogs that need expensive/urgent treatment etc, as the handlers themselves are not given any assistance once the dogs are retired. It is the handlers responsibility to pay for any treatment etc.

I am on my way with the task but the images need to be at the printers by early July (god knows why !). The problem is........... I cannot find any cute 'puppy' pictures (ahhhhhh - I know). There are no puppies to be found anywhere in my neck of the woods and I could do with a couple of images of GSD, Lab, Springers etc for the Ahhhhhhh factor in the calendar - you know the ones I mean, cute ones of several pups etc, funny ones, anything that will be suitable.

If anyone has any images (and they need to be 10MB when open) OR, knows of any sites, clipart or similar where I could get the odd pic, can you please let me know or e-mail to me (pretty please !!) - I have checked the photo agencies out but they want megabucks for them, which would defeat the object really if we paid LOADS for them.

Thanks guys/gals - I know you'll do your upmost to help (hopefully).

Jim Haydock.
