I need some pictures of bows you recieved or made, this is info I got from calendargirl on the specifics of the pictures needed, If your pictures picked it could be in Primitive Archer Magazine. If you can help me out please send the pictures to my email mandoman1540@hotmail.com or directly to Ed ingold ingold@wyoming.com thank you for any help :D
This is the info calendargirl gave me
"FYI, in case anyone asks you, photo requirements are rather specific and
there seems to be a lot of confusion about them. I'll try and explain
because I have to admit until I took this job I had no idea what is needed
for printing in the magazine, which is very much different than posting on
the web.
First off, photos need to be high resolution. We prefer 300 dpi, or ppi,
(which ever you prefer.) They both mean the same thing, dots per inch or
pixels per inch. Secondly, and this is where it can get confusing, we need
them sent as large full size files. As close to 1MB as possible. This is
where most people have a problem. Often photos files are reduced in size to
either send them faster, or to store them so they don't take up so much
computer space. Unfortunately that doesn't work for our needs. Often people
think if it looks good, or big on their monitor screen it's ok. Not so. Most
monitors have a resolution around 72ppi, 120 at the most, nowhere near 300
that we need. If we can get a photo file sent large enough we can often use
it even if the resolution isn't that high because we can reduce it and it
will look pretty good. That only works though if the file sent works out to
be 8 X 10 inches in size at a lower resolution and we can print it as a 4 X
5 inch , or smaller image in the magazine
If anyone has any other questions on this let me know and I will try to get you an answer

What kind of pictures are they looking for? Just the bow, recipient with bow? Full draw? Or just anything that looks good? (If that's the case, I'd better not get in any of the shots!)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I didn't get in the bow trade this time, but as far as not getting in the shots, I resemble that remark!!!

I would just say any pictures of the bows you can send me are good and I will send them all to the appropriate person and they will choose what pictures they want to use, so any pictures are good, probably some general info about the bow in the pictures and who you sent it to or who you recieved it from. thanks again the more pictures I can get from people involved in the trade that meet the requirments above the better!

Can your email inbox handle those file sizes and if it can are they going to go to your trash/spam box?
-
Not sure but there is only one way to find out ;D
-
Can we not just send them directly to the publisher?
Just so everyone knows, some email programs (like Outlook) will give the option to shrink pictures to a smaller size when they're attached to the email, and if you aren't paying attention you might do this accidentally.

Josh

My computer shot flames out it's backside when I turned it on this morning, it'll probably be a week or two before I can revive it to get the pics sent in. I'll email them to Ed as soon as I can.
-
K sounds good sorry about your computer
Josh
-
Josh, I emailed them to you right after I posted that. You should have 2 emails from me.
-
I know I forwarded them to ed and e mailed you back
Bee su re to add who sent the bow to who and some specs
Josh
-
Ok this is from Ed ingold
"Some others tried to send some by using the website message board but they are not big enough. If they would send them directly to me as large photo files as e-mail attachments it would be much better."
"Have them send them to my e-mail address as large full size files"
So if some of you sent Ed photos that will not work for the article (Not sure who it was specifically) they are not sent as large full size photos, If you are having problems doing this re read my first post on this thread and send them directly to his email I gave a couple posts ago and on the first post in the thread. Make sure you put in the subject box bow trade pictures and add some general specs of the bow and who you shipped it to or recieved it from. Thanks I will try to find out who sent photos that wont work and get back with those people via PM and let them know.
