The time has come, the Alpaca said... for photographs for the 2012 calendar to be emailed through!


Who?

The list of people who have so far offered images is in the second post of this thread, but anyone else is welcome to contribute photographs.

It's not limited to people who post on this forum and whether or not you've sent images before doesn't matter.

If there are more photographs submitted than there are months, there's no favouritism shown other than selecting the most appropriate pics, which may depend on geographic origin, whether or not the mine has been featured recently and so on.

If possible, I'd like to get 14 or 15 months' worth submitted to the designer, so apologies to anyone who gets cut out after submitting photographs.


What's required?

Basically, the original photograph at full resolution, as large as possible. If it's been processed, a copy of the processed file plus the original as a RAW would be handy, along with the corresponding XMP file.

Each month contains three images (of the same location) and so if you can send 3 or 4 images of the same mine, then that's helpful. If you particularly favour one pic for the main image, then let me know which one it is.

The smaller photos don't need to be at such a high resolution, so don't worry too much about sending RAW files for these.

Finally, I need to know where the photographs were taken!


When?

As soon as possible! We want to have the first print run available at Hidden Earth, so submissions by the end of August would be much appreciated!


Where?

Please email photographs through to: [email protected]

My mailbox is pretty big, but if there's anything that's much above 10Mb, it would be better split into a couple of emails.


Good causes

All profits from the calendar will be donated to a mine-related good cause / charity - this is usually around £600. The choice of this is the subject of a different thread.


Copyright

In submitting photographs, you agree for them to be used in the 2012 calendar and you will be attributed by name. This is entirely royalty-free. Photographs will not be used for any other purpose.

My mailbox is pretty big, but if there's anything that's much above 10Mb, it would be better split into a couple of emails.

I think I can just squeeze into this, but anyone with a newer SLR is going to have problems, as my Single RAW images hover just over/under 10MB, and I only have 10Megapixels. Any alternative suggestion for a format that is lossless, yet compressed?

---

um, you have 12 months and 12 people for photos, so you dont need any more??

Mine are winging there way now but emeither :thumbup:

Basically, the mailbox is near-unlimited, but I start getting issues with massive emails once they've arrived.

A single RAW file of 18Mb (for example) is fine as long as it's one per email.

It's three RAWs that make a message 50Mb+ a pain in the arse.

No-shows / duplicates / not usables for several reasons - I've found in the past that we need 14-15 sets of images (including one for the cover). 😉

I'll sort some out after work tonight then. :thumbsup:

Just a gentle reminder, please for submissions to be emailed through to [email protected] as soon as humanly* possible! :flowers:



* I think this covers the majority of people who have offered photographs? If anyone who has volunteered to send in pics is not human, could they please make every species-specific effort to send through images as soon as possible!

---

Can you confirm if you got mine? :flowers:
