Here's a challenge to all the critics:

You get out there and produce 12 technically, aesthetically and eye catching images and try and produce a calender..... or a book. Not as easy as one may think.

There's more to a photo than most may realise, it's not luck my friends, it's knowing how to get the best shot, in the best light at the best time, and get all the technical camera workings/whether to use flash etc... all coming together for a great shot. And sometimes the subject you are photographing isn't always the easiest either.. as a photographer, there are many challenges and problems to overcome.

You may have one day to get the photograph of a certain person on a certain climb and on that day the weather doesn't turn on the sunshine.... You need the shot... It's gotta be a winner, a warm shot, something that captures the colour of the rock as though the sun were on it. What do you do? You've got to work with your subject and equipment to get the very best out of the situation and come out with the crisp shot.

Not as easy as turning up to the crag and getting some fluke shot. To do it as a job you have to know how to work in any situaton and still get your shot, in any circumstance.

Enjoy the calender folks.... soon there might be more than one on the market!
