eyesign shows and technology

[juan de winne]

Your comments required ..... Ive been looking through the homing world at the eye sign photos - there are a lot of references to colours that it would seem dont show up in print and circles that are invisible to a novice , so i was wondering if anyone who judges shows in eyesign classes thinks that having all the eyes in the show photographed ( or even just the winners ) then they could be shown on a projector and the basic parts explained to the participants.

I appreciate that this is only any good if you have access to this equipment but would appreciate comments

ps ive attached a poll or at least i think i have

thanks

Very good idea mate i would certainly stay perhaps after the show and watch something like that,thing is though i,m not so sure that some of these judges they pick would be capable of such a thing anyway,i have personelly travelled all over the country to eye sign shows and it really does make me wonder sometimes wether or not they know what their looking for,mind you if you were ever lucky enough to have gone to one of the shows that Bil Carney judged that was almost the same as you proposed,you were able to be in the room when he was judging and he would almost give a speech on every pigeon he judge even tell you what distance the pigeon would win at,wether it had worms or not etc etc etc,mind you i had my doubts sometimes about some of the stuff he use to come out with.

hanks for your comments.... I used to race 20 odd years ago now its me and my 3 kids and im trying to find as many ways as possible to get more people interested in the sport ... technology still seems to be the main stumbling block I think the idea is good too pity that the 30 other visitors couldn't vote or add comments still thats sadly the way.

perhaps you could enlighten me further about eyesign a couple of points that confuse me

 

1 which eye do you look at on the bird - I have a hen with a bull eye on her right and a violet left

 

2 spinksy for the boglin marsh page write that good pigeons "should have within the iris a black line that appears as if someone has stroked a brush of black paint from the center outwards between 2 and 3 oclock " again this depends on which eye your looking at as to which way 2-3 oclock goes - is your bird any good if the line is 9-10 ?

 

Kind regards
