PSNZ’s Most Wanted: Your images
As some of you know, I am currently the chairperson of the PSNZ Judging Accreditation Panel.
The panel is hoping to upgrade the current system and streamline the existing processes. I will be travelling to The National Convention in Invercargill in April this year, where I will be running a session, explaining what we are doing and hoping to achieve. If you are there, please come along and share your own thoughts.
As part of the process for people applying to be accredited judges, we supply them with a set of test images, which they are then asked to judge. The current ones we have are prints and…ummm…well, they need to be replaced.
We need new images in a digital format!
And we need at least 100 images!
I would be truly grateful if you would be willing to make some of yours available for us to use. We need images in the following categories
Nature: insects, fungi, plants, animals in the wild, atmospherics, geology
Open: portraits, landscape, PJ, experimental, still life, in fact anything….
We are especially interested in images which have received a varied response from judges ( LOL) and have proved particularly …um…challenging for them. They do not have to be your finest work.
If you are willing to provide your work, could you please do the following:
- Resize to 1024 x 768 pixels @ 72 ppi or 768ppi on the shorter side
- Rename them as follows:
- Your surname_your first name_the title
e.g Adams_Ansel_ Clearing Winter Storm ( oops…that one has been taken)
We will file them carefully, and then rename them with the title only.
Can you please put PSNZ JAP in the subject line, then email them to: jennycouldrey@xtra.co.nz.
Please note:
Images from those of you who live abroad welcome (Ray? Marthinus?)!
Warm regards and many thanks
