Guidelines
General Photo Guidelines
Each photo should have at least a 300 ppi resolution.
Be selective about the quality and quantity of the digital photos you send.
Duplicate images, unrelated photos, poor quality pictures, and anything without a caption should be deleted before the CD is burned.
Every photo submitted needs a caption that includes the correct spelling of the carver’s first and last names.
Good captions also mention the type of wood used and the size of the carving.
Photos of Carvings
Remove any ribbons, labels, medals, signs, stickers, etc.
Use a plain, neutral-colored background (cloth backdrops should not be wrinkled).
Arrange lighting so it does not cast distracting shadows.
If possible, do not submit photos of carvings that have already appeared in Chip Chats.
Class Photos
Submit photos of students carving rather than a group posing with finished carvings.
