ACC Club Events contest and digital image submissions
Wednesday, May 12th. is the club events contest. You may submit one digital image,one monochrome print, one color print, and one slide from each club event you attended.
The rules for digital images are given below. Please send digital images to acc.contests@comcast.net
-Chip
Images should be sized no more than 1024 pixels on the long side (1024 x ??? or ??? x 1024). Due to current projector technologies, images bigger than those dimensions get reduced to that resolution by the operating system, often resulting in strange visual artifacts when displayed.
Images should be saved as jpegs. A quality setting of around 80% (8 of 10, 80 of 100, etc) is all that is necessary for viewing on screen. Settings higher than that DO have benefits when printing, but result in unnecessarily large file sizes for the purposes of competition. Smaller file sizes are processed faster, resulting in smoother operation of the viewing software.
Files should be named according to the following convention:
A class identifier, ‘n’ for novice or ‘u’ for unlimited, should precede the filename and be followed by an underscore.
The image name should appear next. For multi-word titles, it is helpful to either capitalize the first letter of each word or separate each word with an underscore. Although most mechanisms of uploading/transferring/emailing files handle spaces in titles, this is not universal. If you have problems sending files with space-separated titles, try the methods mentioned above instead.
An underscore and the owner’s first and last initials should follow the title.
Finally, make sure the file extensio n (.jpg) exists.
Examples: Here are file name samples using the above convention:
u_BridgeOnTheRiverKwai_cb.jpg
u_bridge_on_the_river_kwai_cb.jpg
n_thistitleisveryhardtoread_cb.jpg
n_some have trouble with this_cb.jpg
Images should be saved in the sRGB color space.
Images should emailed to acc.contests@comcast.net no later than 4:00 pm on the Wednesday of the competition.
Update Photos for the End of Year Contest Due May 5th
Greetings all,
Images which received 4th. place or better are eligible for inclusion in the year end contest.
There has been a slight modification to the schedule for the year end judging. Members of the Bowie-Crofton camera club will judge our images on Sunday, May 9th. We are therefore extending the deadline for images to Wednesday, May 5th, the date of our business meeting.
