You can also pick out images that are your best shots that you want feedback on or learn why it works well. Pick out 3-5 images. Pick at least one from the sunrise shoot and one from the mid morning shoot. If you have an image with two compositions that are similar and you can t decide, submit both. You can also submit these images or others to Canon for the Facebook site.
Processing: You do not need to process your images for these critiques but you are welcome to do so. If you do any post processing to your images with Photoshop/Lightroom or other software, please include both the original image and the processed image. This way we can see if the image how the image was shot originally and the exposure. Image Size: You can submit the original image for critique. If you would like to resize it, make it at least 1920x1080 pixels at 72 ppi and save as a jpeg. Optional to submit original incase we make some changes to raw file for processing suggestions. Images for Printing: 13x19 size at 300 ppi. If you don t know how to size them, no worries. We can do that so just submit the images in a separate folder from the review. That can be the same images. We will print one image but try to get to two images per person. Submission of Images: Put images on a flash drive A Canon Representative will pass around two flash drives to put your images on them. Make one folder with your name on it for Printing and another folder with your name for Critiques. If you don t have a computer or flash drive, we can pick out some images from your card or you can check with Jennifer or Canon Representative to see your images on their computer to pick out a few.
