Monthly Photo Contest Topics and Info

At each meeting we have a photo contest. You must be a member to enter but everyone present can vote. We have 3 divisions: novice, intermediate, and open. Members only e-mail images to Sharon Yates at Sharons e-malno later than Saturday before meeting. (Its a lot of work for our volunteer who donates time to get the images ready for the contests so entries Must be pre submitted so the contest volunteer can enjoy the meeting with the rest of the groupt)

PLEASE size them down to a max of no wider than 1024 pixels or taller than 768 pixels JPEG compressed images. Projector will be set at 1024 wide x 768 tall. Please don't bring full camera resolution 6-12 meg photos since some of the la ptops used can't process them very well and it really slows up loading photos for the contest. The goal is to not be picky but to make the contest go smoothly. Thanks for everyones's help! At the end of the year we have our December holiday party in which Oscars are presented to the three divisions Photographers of the Year.
