The Kennel Club is running a "Dog Photographer of the Year" competition. The details are here.

There are four catagories:

- Dogs at Work

- Dogs at Play

- Dog Portrait

- Man’s Best Friend

It costs £7.50 to enter and the prize is a hugely generous ....

... wait for it ....

... The winning photograph from the competition will be framed and displayed within the Kennel Club Art Gallery in Mayfair alongside the other finalists’ images throughout December. The image will also be used on the front cover of the Kennel Club’s flagship publication, the Kennel Gazette and displayed at Crufts 2006.

Great - they get to use your photo for free and you pay them for the priviledge! (w00t)

Anyway - I was wondering if there was any way we could run a "Whippet Photographer of the Year" competition on k9. We could set a time period over which we entered our photos and then we could have a sort of modified Poll over a set period of time to vote for the winners. The prize could be .... getting displayed at the top of the forum for a while - or maybe just the glory of knowing we'd won! We could even have a small entrance fee voluntary donation to k9.

Categories, possibly ...

- Racing coursing

- Working

- Showing

- Portraits

- Funny

Maybe we shouldn't just restrict it to whippets.

Well, what do you think? Silly idea? And Nigel - could it happen???? :teehee:

I think this is a good idea.

I'm looking to add some software to K9 that could possibly help with this - but it's a few weeks away yet....

Excellent idea!

Well I'm not one for taking pics as you all know :- " but I could make a special effort for that

We did one on the horse forum I am on.

Winners got emailed pics of rossettes with the entry details photoshopped onto them... hehe.

When I get my little whippet, I'd be up for entering.. I'm very photo happy when I get a camera in my hands.

As an aside here, if anyone wants any pics taken of their hounds then I'd go no further than Richard Lindley (he's new to the forum, joined a couple of days ago, user name 'richardthesane' )

Check out some of his hound pics here:

of some of the White Lodge rescues (one of the rescues I have contact with)

I'd certainly join in the competition on K9, my efforts aren't worthy of the Kennel Club one though!

Hi There,

Just had a quick look at Richards website and i must say they are brilliant photo's. The few i looked at in closer detail(very late in Australia) seem to catch the personality of the hounds.

Debra :thumbsup:

Just realised I only put the link to Richard's photo gallery, this is his official website with contact details on it:
