Eyesign Show...?

whats members thoughts on us having an eyesign show, would you be able to take eye pictures...? ive never tried but I`ll give it a go and see what they turn out like.........

any thoughts anyone...or any tips on taking eye pictures ?

Sounds good dave I will have a go at taking some photos the weekend might be a good idea to take them in macro mode on your camera as you can take close ups with out them coming out blurred never done it before but will try

Why not, I'm willing to give it a try, my phone's not up to it but Luke has a big megapixel phone so we'll have a go,weather they'll be any good I don't know, but hey, let's support the forum everyone, did you say we have eye sign judges David

yes 2 of our members are experienced eyesign judges roy, chuda, who is a member of my local club, and is well known for judging eyesign shows, and also our member don webb, who has judged at shows in the past......maybe one or both will accept the job as judge for us, or possibly we could have an old bird and a young bird eye show........suppose it all depends on how many enter or can take eye pictures.

Camera not too close. Same as zooming in. Makes them blurry. Sunlight is the best light. Some one to hold the bird is ideal!

yeah...i have tried before on my own,outcome crap...tried cropping the pic and enlarging outcome crap.
deffo better with 2 pair of hands

spot on roy by the way whats mega pixels :lol!:and are their always 2 of them

Megapixels, heard it on the t.v. so must be important, just thought I'd throw it in there to make me sound cool

What are you going to do if you get enough good quality photographs of pigeons' eyes.

Who is going to judge them? - are you going to get one person to judge them, or will ALL members be voting.

All this, of course depends on whether one believes in this eye sign stuff, which has been proven time and time again to be a load of old rubbish.

If people could really tell the quality of a pigeon just by looking at its eye, there would be some very famous and rich men in our sport, but as there aren't, one can only come to one conclusion - It's a load of crap!

Eye sign is there weather you believe in it or not...

Eyes are there - that's about all you can say.

Phil

I will have mine done or try and get them done on Saturday when I have some time

you should have two classes ob & yb and have two judges.

I'm not a believer in eyesign, but I will certainly try and support any shows the forum wishes to put on, so if you want to put one on for the longest wings I'm in

What a very sensible statement Lofty.

I just think it is a big con - there is no way an eye of a pigeon can tell you if it's going to be any good.

Be each to his own, I guess.

looks like a few members are interested in entering an eye sign show, so would be nice to make a start taking a few photos......if your happy with them email them to pigeonworld46@yahoo.co.uk

if we can get a few entered into the show, we might even get an eyesign judge to judge them for us......

I will try and knock some pics out...dust ,mountain ranges and clusters and certain lines at 6 to 9 o'clock what does it all amount to ...food for talk anyway ,but not something I take to much notice of but if ya got the time why not I can think of worse eyes to look at atb

will be a bit of fun eh Darren, maybe the winner might be a race winner too..........

Will take some pics 2morrow and send them in if they any good

thanks luke.........

Just take a look at skywalkers avatar, now, just think, poor Roy has got to look at him in the flesh every day, bet you feel sorry for me now don't you

might be the other way round roy, some might feel sorry for luke........
