Special Clinic Topics for the 2011/2012 Season

These are open to your own interpretation.

     Clinic 1:  Churches  (Interiors or Exteriors, details) 
     Clinic 2:  Urban Life (Life in the city, people, activities)
     Clinic 3:  Smiles (Smiling people, or things that make you smile)
     Clinic 4:  Relationships (physical, emotional, people, objects, concepts)

After discussing our members' suggestions about including additional specific categories to our 
existing clinics other than Nature or Pictorial, it was decided that we would rotate topics from 
our ACC categories instead. This will be an optional additional secondary category for each 
clinic. This year they will be:

     Clinic 1:  Portraits 
     Clinic 2:  Abstract
     Clinic 3:  Architecture
     Clinic 4:  Landscapes

So for each Clinic, we will have the following categories: Nature, Pictorial, Special + 1 ACC Category

Note: The number of total entries that can be submitted to a clinic is still 5 Entries with a 
maximum of 3 entries in any one category.

Club FORUM

Bharat has set up a club forum. It only takes a couple minutes to sign up for it. 
It is of particular value when you'd like to let everyone else in the club know about 
something. Check it out to see what others are saying.

Member Personal Galleries Instructions
Each club member is now allowed up to 700 images
(seven hundred) in their personal gallery.

The following points should be noted:

1. You can submit images that are from a trip, follow a theme or are
    just "Various Images".
    e.g. Trip to Panama, Butterflies, Various Images, etc.

2. I will not add titles/names to any images. Whatever they are named 
    when you give them to me will be the name displayed on the screen
    with the image. e.g. Monarch Butterfly.jpg, IMG_6789.jpg, etc.
    PLEASE NOTE: Do not include a # in the image name -- the program I
    use has problems with it.
    
3. The program I use will display your images on a web page as thumbnails.
    You can then view the larger version of the image from the thumbnail
    or by using 'arrow icons', etc. as is typical of web galleries.
    
    You can also view images as a slideshow.
    
4. Images will be approximately 600 pixels maximum on the longest side
    when displayed.

5. Images will be displayed with some metadata (if it's available) ie. f-stop, 
    shutter speed, focal length, etc. UNLESS YOU ASK ME NOT TO DISPLAY IT.
    
6. Email your images to me if you want (in small batches or in a "zip file")
    or give them to me on a CD. Size is irrelevent (if you give them to me 
    on a CD) since the software I use will resize the images anyway. Please keep
    the following in mind:

   For categories of images, please enter images in separate folders.
   Name the folders as you want the category to be titled on the site.

The best way for you to submit large numbers of images to me  (from my 
point of view at least) is to use a 'zip' file and the website mediafire.com  
That way we don't need to connect with CDs or thumb drives. If you're comfortable 
using zip files, add your images to a single zip file/archive and upload it to the website 
mediafire.com  It's a reliable, trustworthy site, it's free and they do not require 
any registration on your part or mine. They allow files up to 100 MB in size which should 
be more than enough.

If zip files mean nothing to you, using a CD or thumb drive is just fine. We just 
need to arrange getting it to me.
   
7. Images must be in JPG format.


Email Address Changes, etc.
If your email address or any other particulars (phone number, etc.) change, please send me an email 
and I will pass the information on to Des McKee (Secretary) and Gord MacLean (Membership).
