It is very gratifying to us when our participants make beautiful
images during our photo adventures. It is a bonus when our alumni share their successes with us.
Sometimes, they sell prints,
win awards,
get juried into shows, have exhibitions, and/or are published in magazines with
photographs either that they created in our workshops or that are a direct
result of their workshop experience with us.
Just to the right, you'll see a prize-winning image that one of our participants
sent to us. For more award-winning student photographs, click on the links below.
And for many of you alumni who have not yet sent us any, please do so, and we
will try to include those that were made in our workshops in our Student Winners gallery. The specifications are below the gallery links. We will try to include the very best of the best on the home page and here to the right on a rotation basis. Think of it as a juried show!
Specifications for student submissions of images
produced in our workshops:
Resolution of 72 ppi (pixels per inch)
Long Edge 640 pixels for web gallery — 360 pixels on the long edge for critiques
Convert to ProPhoto RGB (native color space in Lightroom from which I create the galleries - probably will need a little brightening — .2 or .25 additional)
Save as jpg with no compression or sharpening
Add FirstnameLastname- to the beginning of your image name (mine would
be "MargoPinkerton-210-022-233-BCPA-BZ.jpg" — note initial
caps, no space between Firstname and Lastname, and hyphen after name)
Make sure your file name has no spaces and is 28
characters or less, not
including the .jpg
Use FN (function key) and/or number lock, if necessary, to
use number pad on laptop (sometimes, the number pad is on the
7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, M keys)
When all else fails, look up Character Map in your search, and copy and paste.
Specifications for post-workshop critiques (please, no more than two at a time, and not too often, as we travel a lot and don't want to give you short shrift):
Same as above with the following exceptions:
Long Edge 360 pixels for critiques
Convert to sRGB - probably will need a little brightening — .2 or .25 additional)
Save as jpg with 80 compression and normal sharpening
Name, rank, copyright, and serial number should all be done the same as above.
