Electronic Photograph Group 

The Electronic Photograph Group holds three competitions a year (Fall, Winter, and Spring) using a digital projector. A judge critiques and scores members’ electronic images.

 

Digital Submission requirements:

Each member may submit a maximum of two entries in each Category (General, Nature and another catagory announced at time of call for submissions) via e-mail that is provided in the meetings announcements.  Images should be sent to no more than one week or less than 24 hours before the competition.  Such images must be file attachments and not embedded in the body of e-mail messages.


Digital files shall be titled with each field of information separated by an underscore.  Each image must have a file name that shall serve as a label.  The file name must include the image category (Nature or General), Title, maker’s name, competition date, and .jpg file extension.  If the maker’s system limits file name size, the maker’s initials may be used in place of his name.

Format: category code_image name_maker name_competition date_.jpg

Example: Nature_Foggy Sunset_John Smith_23OCT2007jpg

In landscape format the image must not exceed 1024 pixels by 768.  In portrait format the image height must not exceed 768; there will be unused horizontal space that should be symmetrical and preferably filled with black on each side of the image (see below for procedure).  Color depth is limited to 8 bits per RGB channel.  Images should be submitted (if possible) with an sRGB embedded color space and saved as “.jpg” file.  Image quality compression should be 8-12 or "High". The final submitted file should be within the range of 100-300 kb without extra file compression. Due to limitations of e-mail attachment size, the total compressed file attachment must be less than 3 MB per e-mail.

Procedure for Re-sizing Images and Creating Black Borders

    1. Crop the image to include what you want to see in the boundaries of the image without any concern about the size of the image. then:
