I think you can safely assume that 'no news is good views' keep them coming

The first negative comment
 
The picture is fantastic but when I transferred it to my screen the picture overran the boundaries of the screen (19”) and a part of the calendar was off the screen. Did I do something wrong?

:E :E

I'm not a computer wizz but, until someone who is responds.......

It depends how you've set your screen resolution - the size of your monitor doesn't matter.
Are you using 800x600? If so, the pic will probably over-run.
It doesn't @ 1024x768.

Assuming you're using Windows:
Right-click on the desktop
Select 'Properties' and check your screen resolution settings.

If Heliport's excellent advice isn't completely successful, look at the "Desktop" tab of the "Display Properties" dialogue box. On the lower right hand side, you will see something described as "Position." Options will include "Stetch," "Center," and "Tile." Try "Stetch" first and play around with the settings to get the desired affect.

I've just tried it @ 800x600 and it works.

It takes a proper computer man to know that stretch also = contract. ;)

Excellent Idea!
Certainly get's the "Thumbs Up!" :ok: from me .... and my colleagues at work!
Just a shame we don't get weather like that around here :{

Neat. I now have it as wallpaper. Many thanks for your efforts.

Keep 'em coming!
 
Immediately became my background of choice. Also became the background for a classmate. Eagerly awaiting next month's!

Here it is .......... January 2004 Calendar
 
January 2004

To download the calendar (Windows users)

Right Click on the picture

Select 'Set as Wallpaper / Background'



Many thanks to all of you who submitted photographs. The quality was superb and deciding which one to use for the January calendar was a difficult decision.
One of the factors was whether the resolution was good enough to allow enlarging to full screen size and, unfortunately, some smaller pics didn't make it on to the shortlist for that reason only.

BlenderPilot has kindly agreed to host the unused pics on his website. We'll let you have the URL. Please post them in the 'Rotorheads Around the World' collection, with a description of the type, location, pilot, photographer etc.

Many thanks to BlenderPilot for creating the calendar, and to both BlenderPilot and John Eacott for all their help throughout the year hosting photographs for the collection.

Excellent shot for January, now installed on the desktop. Many thanks to all concerned.

Its going to be an Autorotate year with this standard of photo in your monthly competition...

WOW...Awesome shot. Well chosen!!!

RDRickster 2nd Jan 2004 07:49

I'll second that "WOW!" Those pics make me want to go down to NZ to fly the terrain. Very cool.

Hughesy 2nd Jan 2004 07:57

Those photos were take in the Tararua mountains, only 10mins away from Heliflight (NZ) Masterton base.
They are quite cool, just wish I spent more time in them than I did.
Living in a part of NZ where there isn't much snow, then moving there and waking each morning with snow on the hills was quite breathtaking at times.
:D

BlenderPilot 2nd Jan 2004 09:55

Glad you liked the shot!
 
If you downloaded the desktop before Jan/02/04, 02:00 GMT, please download it again since the current version has a much better resolution and looks nicer. Ned was kind enough to send a higher resloution shot and I just switched it, same shot, just better resolution.

Thanks to Ned for the picture! And also to all others who sent their pictures for, consideration, there were some other beautiful shots also.

Time Out 2nd Jan 2004 10:04

It's fantastic. Thanks Heliport, BlenderPilot and Ned.

sprocket 2nd Jan 2004 11:04

Another good choice.
I'm on my way over to NZ for a break next week, hope it is as good as they say.

Thud_and_Blunder 2nd Jan 2004 14:55

Fantastic shot. On my one-and-only trip so far to NZ (20 years ago this month - sigh!) I stayed with an RAF Kiwi mate who was home on 5-yearly leave in Masterton. Enjoyed 3 days tramping around the Tararuas - equal to (or better than) any National Park in the UK, but "only" a Forestry Area in NZ. I remember the maps having the positions of crashed aircraft marked as landmarks...

Hughesy 2nd Jan 2004 18:42

Your right T & B. Although I never saw them, i believe there are a couple of aircraft in the hills. One is of an old RNZAF plane that went in many years ago. I'm pretty sure there is a memorial at that site aswell.

Notar fan 3rd Jan 2004 05:29

Excellent choice Heliport......I am sure it was a difficult decision. Special thanks to you lads for your hard work and excellent service to the industry

Happy New Year to all PPruners:ok:

Red Wine 3rd Jan 2004 09:24

A nice photo and a great idea.
 
What are the chances of having the current month in large print such as the January one, then having the rest of the year/six months along the bottom or elsewhere in smaller print?

That way it would be a useful planning calander as well as something nice to look at!!!

You could still change the photo monthly.
