MEMBERS
GALLERY PAGE
In a departure
from previous year's web site content, we have now began to
present the work of individual club members. Several members
have agreed to work with your webhelper to submit photos of
their choosing to display on our web site. Jane Turzillo's
photos are the first to make it on display, followed by
Gardner Boone, Elaine Griffith, and Don Griffith. We
encourage members to participate in this opportunity to
showcase their work!

Tentative
Competition Rules
Rules are generally unchanged from
last year. There will be four categories for competition:
Color Prints, B&W Prints, Film Slides, and Digital
Slides. In all categories except Film Slides, there will be
a Class A (more experienced) and a Class B (less
experienced). Digital manipulation is permited for all
digital images. Images may be submitted only once for
competitions, and so images submitted in prior years are
therefore excluded from further submissions. We will be
dropping the award for Most Top Shots at the end of the
year, and, instead, we will count the accumulated scores for
only the top 18 images in each category per person. This is
intended to allow members to miss a couple of competitions
and yet not suffer a point penalty for not having made
submissions.

Don't Forget:
Guidelines for Digital Slide
Submissions
• File naming:
your name first, then a short descriptive title, then
numeral 1,2, or 3.
• In
a change from last year's procedures, you are now invited to
bring your digital slides for competition to the club the
night of the competition. They should be brought in on
either a small USB flash drive (very inexpensive and
re-usable), or on a CD. Same limitiations as before, only
three slides per month, and no slide may be submitted more
than one time for club competitions. Thus, slides submitted
for previous year's competitions are also
excluded.
