| Just a reminder that there is less than 2 weeks to get your pictures in for the month of December. This months topic is "Christmas Lights" (I think that was it, Skippyish will correcte me if I'm wrong)
More info on the UF Digital Photography Club can be found in the Diary here
Here is a link to the photo gallery with past pictures and topics
Some FAQ's for new people
1) What size/format should my pictures be?
- A: We prefer JPG and a reasonable size for the pictures. We don't need 5Mb Jpeg pictures. 11Mb TIFF and BMP are completly out of the question.
2) What if I don't have a digital Camera?
- Hey it's only a name, if you don't have a digital camera, use a film camera and scan the picture in. Also many Photo stores now develop film and will put the images on a CD for you at a reasonable cost.
3) Can I send in pictures I found on the Internet?
- NO! not only is it a copyright infringement, but the idea is to enjoy the hobby of photography and improve your skills through peer critique.
4) How long do I have to take my pictures?
- Each month there will be a new topic. It use to be a weekly assingment, but we found that was not enought time for people to get out and take pictures
5) Do I have to take the pictures every month?
- No, you can put as much time into your hobby as you like. If a topic does not appeal to you, you are not commited to sending anything that month
6) How do I know what the topic is?
- Usualy the first monday of the month we will post the topic. Once we become more organized we will try and post a reminder each monday on the message board.
7) What if I'm too busy one month?
- no problem, if you have a picture that you have previously taken that fits the topic, you can send that in for you submission for that month
8) I have a great Idea for a topic, who should I tell?
- Email either Skippy-ish_guy or hieraco and we will add your suggestion to our rotation of topics. Please do not be offended if we don't get to it right away, there are only 12 months in a year so we are limited as to how many topis we can use
9) What else can I do?
- We will be looking forward to updating the club page with photo tips, and tutorials. Write them up in a format that is ready for print (plain text and proof read) and we will organize them into some coherent order. |
