HELLO MASTER GARDENERS!
Taking pictures for the Master Gardener 2022 Calendar? Below are the guidelines.
Here are the guidelines.
Files should be 2 Mbs (6 mp on phones is 18 Mbs) or larger. Most cell phone photos are good. See Smartphone camera tips at the bottom.
A resolution of 300 dpi and a minimum size of 5"x7"
Try to include action photos.
If a MG is in the picture they should be wearing MG branded clothes.
Identifiable children need a parental release.
No staged photos - real interactions with the public. [Prob not much of this...)
1. Shoot in Landscape
- Rotating your phone to landscape mode and using the volume buttons to take the photo provides a more stable hold on the phone, reducing noise in your pictures.
2, Utilize the Grid Lines
- Locate this option in your photo app settings. Keep your main subjects off center so they become the focus.
• Focus on the eyes• Place strong lines and divisions like the horizon on the gridlines
- Get up and personal with your subject for the best results. Most smartphone cameras have a digital zoom, but using this won’t help you get detailed pictures from far away. Zoom is just essentially cropping our picture on the screen.
- This allows you to explore different point of view.
• When taking pictures of small children or pets, get down on their level.
• Climb up and look down!
5. No Garbage Cans!
- You should also avoid cluttered or ugly backgrounds by changing your point of view. Watch out for the trash cans or other unsightly objects in your view.
6. Multiple Shots
- If you see something that catches your eye don't just take one shot and hope for the best. The chances of getting a good photo with your first shot are very slim. You should take shots from various angles and distances.
