EK Camera Club maintains a website gallery which displays images submitted by members.
	Any current member of East Kilbride Camera Club, beginner, intermediate or advanced level, may submit images for display on the Club Image Gallery.
	Images must be the work of the member concerned, and must not infringe the copyright of others.

	Copyright of images remains with the original photographer. However, images are accepted for display on the understanding that selected images may be freely used in electronic and/or printed club publicity materials.  In such use, credit will be give where space and circumstances permit.
	Both Colour and monochrome images are acceptable for the gallery.

	Bold colourful images tend to look better and attract more attention.
	Images are considerably reduced for display, so fine detail tends to get lost.  It is best to select images which are bold and do no rely on fine detail for their effect
	It is best to choose a mix of images which shows the range of your photographic interests rather than several images of the same subject or on the same theme.
	Although there are no hard and fast limits to the number of images you may display, somewhere between 5 and 20 would seem reasonable.
	If you have a lot of images to display, then it is best to submit them a few at a time over a period of several months.  This allows us to keep adding new interest to the gallery, encouraging visitors to return regularly.

	Images for the gallery should be submitted to the website manager.
	It is helpful if the images have a clear title or description.
	Additional information about the location, the technique used, or why the image appealed to the photographer would also be welcome.

Film Images

Prints, 35mm negatives or slides and medium format negatives or slides may all  be submitted for display on the gallery

Materials will be scanned and returned to the owner as soon as possible, hopefully within 2 weeks.

Digital Images

	Digital images may be submitted on CD-ROM or may be submitted via E-mail. E-Mail submissions should be sent as E-mail attachments to the Website Manager's  address as shown on the back of the current membership booklet
	Digital images must be at least 600 pixels on the longest axis.  Images smaller the 600 pixels may be rejected on quality grounds.
	Digital images may be submitted in JPG, PSD, TIFF or BMP format.

	While choice of subject is entirely up to the member concerned, it should be noted that the gallery is intended to be "family friendly" and the Website Manager may decide to exclude images that, in his opinion, might cause offence.
	Where a model or other identifiable person is portrayed in a photograph, it is the photographers responsibility to obtain their permission before submitting the image for display on the gallery website.
	Images, once submitted will normally remain on display for up to 2 years, but members may at any time request that any or all of their images be removed from the gallery.
	Images submitted to the website may be used in publicity materials advertising  Club events and activities.
	Images will normally be displayed on the web as JPG compressed files of no more than 600 x 600 pixels
	Space on the gallery will be allocated on a first come first served basis, but members with large numbers of images on display may be asked to reduce their portfolio should available web space become a limiting factor.
	Occasionally viewers of the website e-mail a comment about specific images.  Such comments will be passed on, in confidence, to the photographer concerned.
	Our website policy is that we respect our member's privacy and will NEVER pass on a member's e-mail or other contact details.   We will also inform a member whenever anyone asks for such information about them.   In that way, it is up to the member to decide whether they wish to make contact or not.
