I've obtained a very fast interntet connection, and so I am updating the photo policy accordingly. We still have members and vistors that will be connecting at dial-up speeds, so I will post photos at a relavtively small size as compared with what modern digital cameras are capable of shooting. My target is to update the
album no more that once a month.
Overall Quantity.
Eighty
total album pictures remains a target for the year. All front page photos go in the album.
Physical
Size
Send any size you wish and I will adjust. If you can prepare at 150k or smaller that would be nice (or 1024x768 SVGA).
File
Name
Put a very
descriptive name on the photo, or in your email with a reference to a photo number. For instance, Pvt John Doe, and wife Magaret at the Georgetown Ball 2008." .. If you have the ability name the file yourself with a description that will appear on the web site that would be nice: some examples:
Arch_Craft_charges_hill_Pound_Gap_2007.jpg.
13thMenWildcatMountain05.jpg
Notice that
there are no spaces and that jpg is lower case. This is important for the web
to work correctly consistently. Keep it brief but descriptive. This
is important for marketing and aesthetics. Photos
with file names like MCV003.jpg and no description referenced to it in the body of the email may not be posted.
Volume
per event or activity
We'll need
to get through the year with an album that pictorially describes the
camp's events and successes. You may send as many shots as you wish of an event. I'll choose ones that are most representative of the activity and the camp with the objective of variety in members shown. If we have a large number of shots for a very special activity, and need be, I'll set up a special section for it as we did with Pound Gap.
Variety
Lots of different members and lots of different camp events are desired. I will keep this as primary consideration in selecting photos for our Camp Album. Perhaps you could employ family members who accompany you to record events with a digital camera.
