Afraid not this year.

Perhaps a quick explanation is in order.

TFF has teamed up with @Dave Franciosy to create a 2014 calendar.

The pictures will be Dave's - and will be selected by the members of TFF by voting on the polls in operation.

The 12 most popular pics will make the calendar.

If I can just say, Dave came to my place to take some livestock photos a year back. He'd not done livestock shots before and wanted some practice. I'm - of course - delighted with the results.

We at the Forum asked Dave of Farming photography if he'd like to compile a calendar for TFF based on his fantastic arable / machinery compositions. I actually lobbied to have NO livestock this time round:

1) Dave wants to get more in to meeting breeders and stockmen over the coming year
2) I want some more "selection pressure" on the livestock choices (eg breeds, types, situations)
3) It was already a nightmare to cut down the choice on the arable side

2015 is a different ball game

I like the thought of "working" livestock studies too

e.g. Prattley set ups in full sway, livestock loading docks at Hawes gimmer sales or Ashford store sales, sheep dogs on the hills etc

Also for a 12 month calendar all the pictures are from a 2 month period.

That's true. For now

The one thing I always missed and made me feel uncomfortable when abroad was the lack of seasons

Cant we have a TFF calendar of the lady members (clothed before anyone calls me a perve) far more interesting than tractors I can see them anywhen. Not dishing Daves photo's they are superb.

I think @Dave Franciosy should give up photographing those smelly, dusty machines and take up livestock photography. @JP1 those cattle photographs are absolutely superb. I think a new enterprise beckons - TFF cards and notelets






ps only joking about the machinery photographs, the best ones will be breathtaking if they are A4 size. I was also pleased to see that my choices were mostly similar to the other voters.
