General
Information regarding images to be submitted:
Size:Shoot the images to any size and resolution
that you wish. For use on the web site images will be reduced to 640x480.
It is not necessary that you "size" the images before they
are submitted. Resizing is just one step in the steps taken to produce
a gallery.
Composition: Fill the viewfinder with a single model.
This is particularly true of figures, armor, and ships. Do the best
you can to get more "subject" and less space around the
subject.
Background: Be aware of what is in the background
of your image. Try to avoid catching anything in the background that
blends with or distracts from the subject.
Flash: When in doubt use a flash. More often than
not images are underexposed rather than overexposed. Be aware that
display cases will reflect light back at the camera, so if you needto
shoot through a display case avoid doing so through a surface at 90
degrees to the camera.
White Balance: Be sure to set your white balance,
otherwise the images will be blue, green, and mostly unusable.
Criteria:
There is no cap on the number
of images that can be included in a gallery. We suggest more than
100 images and less than 300 images. You are encouraged to include
an explanation of events captured in the images. Final selections
for inclusion on the Walkaround Gallery pages will be made solely
at the discretion of the Associate Webmaster. Submissions will be
accepted from current IPMS/USA Members in Good Standing only.
Info:
Submit your images via snail mail to the Walkaround Gallery Associate
Webmaster. Submissions can be stored and shipped on CD, Zip disk (100
MB only), Jump Drive and 3.5 floppy. The storage media will
not be returned without a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Unfortunately the Web Master cannot accept images via e-mail.
Please include the following information
with your submission:
* Name(s) of the
photographer(s) spelled exactly as you wish them displayed on the
Gallery pages.
* Location where the subject is located, even if temporarily.
* Date when the images were taken.
*Other information you provide can be included in the Gallery as space allows. This
information can be included as an MS Word file and stored on the image storage
device.
*Name and IPMS # of person submitting the image collection.
