Information about the Art Banner

We recently wrote a post about the 2013 Owen Sound Art Banners and there may be some confusion regarding the submission specifications.

Artists are to submit images that are “print ready” and are to be a maximum of 2000 pixels on the longest side. The confusion lies in the other important part of a digital image size, resolution, or pixels per inch (ppi). A print ready file will have a ppi resolution of at least 240, and some folks may like to increase that number to 300. To be sure your file is accepted for consideration by the committee, go with a resolution of 300 ppi.

If you’re a little unsure of how to size an image, be sure to take a look at our page on Re-sizing Images in the Tutorials section of the site.

Merry Christmas

Hello world! The club has been very overwhelmed over the years with the fact that we get visitors from virtually all over the globe to our little old website here in Owen Sound, Ontario. We would like to express our heartfelt thank you for all the views, comments and support. We truly love photography and we love sharing it with you just as much as we love to create it.

Soon another year will come to a close and a new year will begin. With new beginnings come new opportunities. We hope the new year brings you good health and prosperity and many new opportunities to capture this world through your lenses.

We here at the Owen Sound Camera Club would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe Holliday Season.

iPhone 4s vs. Canon 60D

Yesterday a few of us went out to the Indian River to practice our veiling technique. As you know the iPhone takes great pictures and with all the apps out there available for shooting and editing I thought I’d try a little test. Out of the two photos below, numbered in the bottom right corners, can you tell which one was taken with the iPhone and which one was taken with the 60D? Sound off in the comments.

Now I must confess, one of them was edited to try to match the correct crop, colour and brightness/contrast, but it really didn’t need a lot of work. I think there is still a distinct difference between the two, don’t you?
