[Leica] LUG Yearbook 2014 OPEN FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

[Geoff Hopkinson]

>From today and for the next 7 weeks until December 20, I am accepting
contributions for our next yearbook. It will follow the same format
that Jim Shulman used for previous editions. Please note that the
address for contributions is  hopsternew at icloud.com

This will be a non-profit, not juried/judged compilation of photos by
any interested photographer. Anyone may contribute and any brand of
equipment may be used. Please send photos that you have made during
2014. There will be no obligation to buy the book which will be
published by Blurb and there will be hardcover, softcover printed
versions offered and an eBook for iPad. There will be a small
surcharge only applied for each purchase. For 2014 this will be again
donated to the charity designated by Jim Shulman for previous
editions. That is Project HOME.

*Please send two image files, ideally as attachments to one or two
email messages.* Be aware that some email clients may reduce the sizes
of images within messages by default.

Ideal image files are JPEG files around 2000 to 3000 pixels on the
long side with file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes. The sRGB colour space
will be used when they are reproduced.

The book will be in our usual 10 inches x 8 inches (20x25cm) landscape
layout. Whether in landscape or portrait orientation your images will
not be cropped or altered by the editor. They will be fitted into the
standard image layouts used. The Blurb software will size the images
to fit.

For the left hand page that will be a box 2680 pixels wide and 2250
pixels high with a plain margin or as a full bleed image (with small
overlap of edges) of 2888 pixels wide x 2475 pixels high.

For the right hand page that will be a box 1500 pixels wide x 1796
pixels high (for a portrait orientation) or 2271 pixels wide x 1588
pixels high (for a landscape orientation).
Both right hand page options leave room for a single caption for both
images underneath.

In the text of your email, *please provide a single caption for both
images. *This will be your name, and preferably a title for each
image. You may also like to include details of the equipment or
similar *short *comment. Here is an example:

*Firstname Lastname*  Opposite: 'left image title'  Leica M3, Elmar 50 f/3.5
