Amateur Photographer Article
Posted: Sun 26 Jan 2020, 19:46
As part of our 10th anniversary celebrations, Amateur Photographer (AP) has agreed to feature our club in its "Join the Club" series. The article will appear in the 12 April edition, which will be on sale for the week commencing Tuesday, 7 April. To accompany the text, there will be 6 or 7 images taken by members. The magazine has requested that we provide around 15 photos from which the editorial team will make the final selection. Those who wish their work to be considered for publication can submit up to three images via PhotoEntry. The competition in question is called "Amateur Photographer images". Members of Council will choose those to be sent to AP.
There are some differences to the usual PhotoEntry requirements. AP has requested high resolution images so we are asking for full size shots which have not been downsized. This does not mean cropped images are ineligible, just that we are seeking work with its final dimensions after any post processing. To accommodate this, the maximum dimensions in PhotoEntry for this one submission have been set to 9,999 x 9,999 since actual sizes will vary by camera. Only uncropped images from something like a Fuji GFX 100 or stitching from many multiple images will exceed those limits. Even a Sony A7R IV with, by comparison, its paltry 61 MP would be OK.
Unfortunately, PhotoEntry does not cater for flexible image sizes as it is expecting them to be projected. Consequently it gives a warrning that the image is too small. On this occasion only, the warning can be safely ignored. If you can see the image in PhotoEntry, it has been successfully uploaded. The other limitation of which to be aware is that the maximum permitted file size per image is 10 MB. The colour space should be sRGB, which is the usual setting for images uploaded to PhotoEntry for competition.
Note that these requirements only apply to images submitted for consideration for inclusion in Amateur Photographer. The usual PhotoEntry specifications will continue to apply for everything else.
I hope that everyone who has a full membership will wish to participate and submit at least one image. The closing date is midnight, Monday 24 February. Good luck.
