The April competition deadline is a one week away
The April competition deadline is a one week away
The special category (in addition to the OPEN category) is SNOW (Thanks Joan for making the category images for our centennial year!)
Our next NHCC competition deadline is just now one week away. Your images must be emailed to NHCCwin@yahoo.com before midnight April 22nd.
Easy Directions for Filing, Sizing, Titling Images for Competition
Photographs must be submitted as JPEG images with the .jpg extension.
Convert the photograph to the sRGB color space. Your images may already be in that color space. If the color of your images seems off when they are projected, you may want to check this. Our projector requires that images be no more than 1024 WIDE and no more than 768 HIGH. (If you submit a vertical image, it will typically be approximately 500 wide to allow it to be 768 high.)
Images which are vertical or square will be smaller than horizontal images.
Titles - Please use the following format. Class&Image Number $LastName$FirstName$Title$Year-month (numeral).jpg
Examples
B1$Jones$Bill$Red_Skier$2009-11.jpg
B2$Jones$Bill$At_The_Beach$2009-11.jpg
S1$Jones$Bill$Glassware$2009-11.jpg
S is used for the assigned subject.
Do not leave any spaces. Use the underline character “_”instead of spaces.
Note: Your computer may automatically put .jpg at the end of the title. If that is the case, you should not put .jpg at the end or you will end up with .jpg.jpg
Look carefully at your completed title to make sure that it is correct.
Have you used the dollar sign $ to separate fields?
Have you used the underline “_” between words in the title?
Are the year and month correct? Does it end in .jpg ?
Attach your images to an email and send to nhccwin@yahoo.com
Organization Hint: Make a folder for NHCC Possible Comp images. These should be duplicates of your better photographs. Make another folder for NHCC Competition 2009-10. Don’t put anything into this folder unless it is sized correctly and titled correctly. When you open this folder, all of your images will be in the same format and you can simply copy what you have previously done.
I hope this helps. Paul Peterson pmjpeterson@sbcglobal.net
If you need help entering the digital competition for the first time please see a current member.These directions are very simple to do, but sometimes simple things appear complicated when written down. Ever try to write down directions to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich? Showing someone is much easier.

Easy Close Up Photography – April 11
Easy Close Up Photography – April 11
There is a change to our upcoming schedule. Instead of presenting his program “Easy Photoshop”, Paul Peterson will present “Easy Close Up Photography.” The change has been made because it is felt that the Close Up Photography program will appeal to more of our members. Paul has given programs on close up photography for many years. The program that he will give on April 11 is all new and geared to the digital photographer. However his technique, which relies primarily on natural light, is as easy as ever. Spring is a great time to try close up photography and it is hoped that this program will encourage our members to give it a try.
For those newer members who were looking forward to the “Easy Photoshop” program, Paul would like to run it as a workshop. The informal setting of the workshop will allow for more give and take on the part of participants. Details and sign up will be announced at Monday’s meeting.
