Vertical<br \/>\nand horizontal images should be the same overall size, as film slides are now. Therefore<br \/>\nimages should be sized to 1024 pixels on the long dimension. Image dimensions will<br \/>\nthen be 1024 pixels by approximately 683 pixels. <\/p>\n<p>Saving the image<br \/>\nSave the image as a high quality JPEG file using a quality setting of 90% or better. Aim<br \/>\nfor a file size of about 500 KB (kilobytes). You may find the file size in a range of 300 to<br \/>\n600 KB depending on the complexity of the image. <\/p>\n<p>Naming for submission<br \/>\nThe file name should include the maker\u00b4s name and the title of the photo. This will make<br \/>\nit easier to catalog. For example, if John Doe submitted an image called Bright Lights,<br \/>\nthe digital file should be called &#8220;Doe_John-Bright_Lights&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Presentation<br \/>\n Images should be in the proper orientation for viewing.  <\/p>\n<p>Submission Directions, Deadline, Quantity<br \/>\n Please email your images to Robert Plumley at rplumley (at) lennox-addiington.on.ca<br \/>\n We will accept a maximum of three photo options and all submissions must be<br \/>\nreceived by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 1, 2010.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoot the Stars in L&#038;A County photo contest.
