22 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2011 all of which leads to the conclusion that many people simply don’t understand this DPI business and don’t know what to do about it. Some basic explanations follow. DPI means “dots per inch.” The more dots per inch, the better th e technical quality of the photo. The fewer dots per inch, the worse the technical quality of the photo. This is a pretty easy explanation but probably not very helpful at all if you don’t know whether your camera is taking low DPI or high DPI photos. If y ou are not sure, the best thing to do is to print your jpg as a 3 X 5 black & white paper copy and see what it looks like. What you see is what we get. JPG Names . Another problem we face nearly every month is receiving about 20 or 30 digital photos (JPGs) all named X45E12 or 46TDW9 or something similar. If you are sending a digital photo, please rename it with something that gives us a hint who it came from or what it’s about. We also ask that the JPG labels be in English as not all computers can read all Ukrainian font styles. Number of photos submitted. We publish a 36 - page magazine and this means our space for photos is limited. If your article is short, we will rarely print more than one photo. For longer articles, please select and send no more than 2 or 3 good quality photos, following the guidelines listed above. Captions. We ask that all photos come with appropriate captions. The best way to provide these captions is to include them with the article that goes with the photo(s). Photos we like to s ee • Small groups (with everyone identified in caption). It is usually best to pose these. "Natural" photos of small groups usually mean big empty spaces between people that look funny in print. • VIPs with CYA members (close up shots are best). • People DOING something. But don't try for 14 people doing different things in one shot unless they are very close together (like a choir). Close up shots of 1 person doing something or 2 people working together are best for this. The big thing here is that you don't wa nt a huge "dead zone" with nothing between people in photo. • Pictures of interesting "stuff" (artifacts, paintings, dolls, etc.) without a lot of people hanging around and especially without stray elbows or shoes or exit signs showing in the pix. • Photo of Event Program (if it's beautiful and if it's possible to read the words on the cover). Photos we don't like to see • Photos of people who look like they have big Exit or Restroom signs growing out of their heads. • Shots taken from so far back that I can't t ell if I'm looking at a person's head or a pumpkin. Get a close - up shot. • Blurry photos. Printing them won't make them any better (probably worse). • Pictures of buildings where events took place — UNLESS the building itself is the main focus of the event. • Pi ctures with 3 or 4 people with huge empty spaces between them. Pose the photo by having people move closer together. • Shots of something on stage where most of the picture is really a photo of the backs of heads of people in the audience. Get a close - up sh ot of what really matters. • Photos of people sitting at a table covered with crumpled napkins, lots of empty beer bottles, plates with chunks of leftover food, etc. Hide these things before taking the photo. • And my personal favorite: Pictures of speakers at a raised podium on a stage that are photographed from below the stage (what you get here is huge legs and a teeny - tiny head or a close up of nostrils). The best solution is to ask the speaker if she or he would mind posing for a picture before or after the speech ; most people will be happy to accommodate you. The key is to plan ahead. Decide in advance what photo(s) will enhance the article or story you want to submit, scope out the best angle, look at the big picture before you click, and then view a b lack/white printout of your picture(s) to make sure you are sending what you really want to see in print. – TSC Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
