Next Competition
Our next competition will be on the theme of Landscape. Landscape Photography is the practice of capturing outdoor scenes that focus on natural features such as mountains, forests, oceans, and fields. It emphasises composition, lighting, and scale to represent the environment, often with little or no human presence. Landscape images can be rendered in either colour or black and white.
Since this is a printed competition, you should save your images in TIF format (Ideally in ADOBE RGB 1998 Colour Space) and name them with your Level Number, Membership Number and Image Title: L2-001-Image Title.tif e.g. L1-123-This is my image title and spaces are allowed.tif.
Note that JPEG files are acceptable; however, the image quality will be slightly lower.
As always, we encourage all of you (especially new members) to enter. The most significant benefit of entering is the feedback from independent judges, which helps you improve your photography.
You can submit up to 2 images, so get shooting. We look forward to seeing a great selection of photos.
Printing Images
If you are printing your own, the deadline for hand-in is Monday, 22nd September; please bring the prints to the club and give them to either Lionel or Jean. You can also send Lionel a digital copy via WeTransfer (Do not upload the images to Dropbox)
For those of you printing via 360-dpi (Steve) the process has changed and hopefully will be less work. The upload is now to the same Dropbox as for Projection. The deadline for upload is Monday, 22nd September.
The images from the Dropbox will be sent to Steve for printing, and submitting to the Dropbox means you are in agreement with your images being sent on to Steve for printing.
Payment
You will receive, by e-mail, a payment link from 360-dpi for the images you have submitted – with the names and paper type requested. Please pay shortly after receiving the link.
Paper Type
If you want your images on the standard Lustre paper there is no need to do or change anything, but if you wish to have a different paper type, you need to add three letters after your membership number in the file title. The payment line invoice you receive from Steve will indicate the price and paper requested.
| Paper Type |
Code |
Price |
| Lustre |
|
€13.51 |
| Fine Art Pearl |
FAP |
€20.01 |
| Photo Rag Matt |
PRM |
€20.01 |
For example, if you wish to have your images on Fine Art Pearl you should name your file: L2-001-FAP-Image title.tif
If you omit these letters the assumption is Lustre Paper.
