[BNS_members] Submission for 2021 Calendar photo submissions is September 21

[Patrick Kelly]

Hello everyone:

The following notice appeared in the last newsletter, but to refresh your memory:

Call for Photos

2021 BNS Natural History Calendar



Photo submissions are invited for possible use in the 24th edition of the Blomidon Naturalists Society’s Natural History Calendar. Submissions should be in electronic form: JPEG format, with file size between 500 kB and 3 MB.



Photos should be of natural history interest, preferably taken in Nova Scotia. Please submit no more than ten (10) images.



Suitability involves technical quality (sharp focus, not under- or over-exposed), composition (object of interest nicely positioned, no distracting background), content (a photo that calendar users will enjoy looking at for a month). The committee tries to match images to the months, so pictures from “not summer” are appreciated! The committee tries not to reuse subjects which have appeared in the past several years of calendars. To that end, here is a listing of the subjects used in the calendars from 2018 to 2020:

2018: Eastern Bluebird, Cedar Waxwing, Red-winged Blackbird, American Mink, Barred Owl, Hobblebush, Lupins and Seaside, Baltimore Oriole, Green Frog, Solar Eclipse, Snapping Turtle, Trees in Snow, Northern Cardinal.

2019: Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red Squirrel, Muskrat, Ostrich Ferns, Sundew, Monarch Caterpillar and Milkweed, Jack-o’lantern Mushroom, Minas Basin and Cape Blomidon, Golden Spindles, Lake with Autumn Colours in Trees, Ring-necked Pheasant

2020: Hooded Merganser, Coastal Ice, Star-tipped Reindeer Lichen. Seals, Garter Snake, Red Trillium, Wilson's Snipe, Black-and-White Warbler, Luna Moth, Rattlesnake Plantain, Semi-palmated Sandpiper, Veinless Freckle-pelt Lichen, Northern Harrier
