1. Professional quality
photos are essential for contributions to The Canadian
Fly Fisher Magazine. Forms of photographs and images accepted
include:
- 35mm slides - must be clear
and crisp. SLR camera quality is necessary.
- 4+ mega pixel digital
photos, must be clear and crisp. Minimum DPI (dots per inch)
must be set at 300 dpi. A digital SLR camera is the most
common method of taking such high quality images.
Higher resolution images are preferred (6 mega pixel and
up).
- Prints have only limited use
as they do not have the definition for enlargement. Please
do not submit prints.
- A good selection of photos
should be provided with captions for each written
submission. Be sure to provide both horizontal and vertical
shots as well as a mix of fish, scenery, flora, fauna, etc.
2. Each slide should be
numbered, with your name printed on each. We must have
originals, not duplicates, to work from. CDs should have a
list of contents. For your own protection, it's best to send
slides and CDs by courier or some form of Canada post special
delivery.
3. If sending in photos (digital or 35mm slides) of
tying sequences, only images with even composition and
lighting will be accepted. The background should maintain the
same shading and colour throughout the entire sequence. The
flies should appear clear and crisp. These images are best
taken with a professional macro setup.
We have facilities for photographing flies and fly tying
sequences if samples are provided. In fact, unless you have
the facilities and macro equipment for taking top quality
close-ups, we prefer this arrangement. In fly tying features,
the number of photos will vary according to the complexity of
the pattern. The exact number will be determined once we've
accepted the proposed article.
4. Please explain clearly the location of each shot,
fish species, names of persons featured, etc...
