I bet you had a hard time choosing the 12 images.

Nicely done!

Very nice teaser DA.    I can't wait to see the calendar for the entire year.  No doubt it will be awesome.

Yes,  I always do,  this year though Ive been better organised and kept a fold of potentials shots that I add to throughout the year,  so I didnt need to go hunting this time.

We get some great perspective for calendars. Drone flight may just keep the Calendar alive. It's a great reason to keep them.

8 of the 12 images in mine are drone shots, although 2 could have been taken without a drone.

But the drone makes it more fun.

You're very welcome DA.  Hope you day is going well.  

Edit:  Actually with the time difference I guess I should have said I hope you had a great day.

Yep,  just about to go and roast some pork and make open a green bottle.

Now that sounds like an awesome plan, especially after I've been eating so much soup these past 2 days.

I made a spicy Greek red lentil soup for lunch,  served it with crumbled feta and a  drizzle of peppery olive oil.,  it was very nice although I would have made it more spicy but SWMBOd doesnt like it too hot.

I love spicy foods.

Me too,   and she eats spicy,  just not as spicy as I like it.

I think the pain receptors on my tongue have diminished over the years as I can now eat much spicier foods than even a few years back.

One of my older grandsons will break out in a sweat and have tingling sensations on his tongue and lips if he tries to eat spicy food.  I told him he needs to avoid Datil peppers then.

I bet its like most things and you can condition yourself over time for it

That and an "iron stomach".

The phrase they use here is a concrete stomach.

I like that phrase even better.  

Those calendars look so classy And having the pictures custom-taken and selected makes it even better. I am certain the people receiving those calendars will be very happy with them

Well in advance to make sure it is ready in time

Yes,  it takes the stress out of it,  the calendars with the right dates but no images are done and then I have a folder where I collect potential shots to choose from when the time comes as just selecting the images can take some time.

Taking some good time in advance certainly lessens stress, that is a method I ought to learn myself too.

I never used to do it and then it all got to be a stressful rush with Christmas as the deadline,  in fact the Christmas posting as the deadline.

Well, if nothing else then you can at least say you've learnt from the past

Nice work David!

I used to years ago,  and for some reason I stopped,   so a week or two a go I set up a new store and Ive got more things to populate in there over the coming weeks.

Nice. I see they also have a Dutch shop.
I might start one too after the renovation. The Dutch stock image site has stopped due to AI taking over, so I'm missing those sales.
It was not very much, but still added up nicely.

Stock photography sales here have been terrible for most of the year too.
