Photographer
by Perry Mack
Include 10 to 12 photos for our art director to choose from. Please include any video links, as we can post them with the article in digital editions. Don't crop the photos in advance as we like to be able to adjust the image in house to suit the page layout.
Photos should be at least 220 dpi and the file size is typically more than 1Mb. We like to see some in portrait orientation - camera turned sideways - as it helps in the layout and these are the photos we use to choose our cover shots.
The photo filename should include the photo subject and photographers name i.e.
Loon Lake at Sunrise photo Perry Mack.jpg
If you have a series of photos where the captions are more lengthy, number the photos in the filename i.e.
Brakeline Install Photo 1 - photo Perry Mack.jpg
And write your captions in a Word document, referencing the photo name i.e.
Brakeline Install Photo 1 - Attach the brake line - make sure you don't have any debris from your garage floor on the hose tip and reattach the brake line. Take care not to over tighten.
Brakeline Install Photo 2 - Get ready to bleed the brake line - blah blah blah
I have had great success with contributors using Dropbox. Dropbox from Google is an easy, free way to share your files with me. It's a quick install; then all you have to do is upload your files to the Dropbox web site or drag and drop the files into a Dropbox folder after the install. If you don't have it yet, please follow this link to install it - http://db.tt/bNSY5gV9.
Once you have created the folder and put the images and text in, just follow the links to 'share' the folder with editor@suncruisermedia.com and I'll be able to access them. Make certain you activate your account with Dropbox by logging into the account online first.
