Submitting Digital Images

  • Digital images can be submitted via compact flash, 3 ½” floppy, CD or email.
  • Emailed images should be sent to photoeval@lacrosseareacameraclub.org. CF, floppy, and CD should be dropped off at John’s house. Do not email them to Jerry's account.
  • The images must be in JPEG format.
  • The images are projected at 1024 wide by 768 high. We suggest sizing them to 1200 by 800 pixels because a slightly larger size is better if your photo wins Year End and is printed in the Tribune. Due to cropping and other reasons, you may not get these exact numbers. That's ok. Just size your images as close to this as possible. Larger images will be resized down by the projector but anything larger than 1200 by 800 gets too big for email. Smaller images will not be resized larger and are difficult to judge. Also remember that the projector is always in landscape mode. If you have a portrait image, you still want it to be close to 768 pixels high but the width will be much smaller than 1024. That's ok as the projector will add black bars to the sides to compensate.
  • The file name should be as follows:
    • The first letter of the month
    • Class (A or B)
    • (O)pen / (P)eople / (N)ature
    • Then a space followed by the title with proper case and spaces between words
    • End it with .jpg
    • Example: "SAO My Favorite Photo.jpg" is September, class A, open.
    • After saving to CD, etc, double check to make sure the filename is correct.
  • Make sure you have your name on the CD, etc.
  • Any digital image accepted for year end may need be re-submitted in May so keep a copy of the image as submitted.
