(^42) FLYLIFE
Now onto the last page and we
are cramming in a bunch of shots
to give everyone a go. Angus Ken-
nedy’s canoe photo (13) was a finalist.
Moody, colourful, evocative, it makes
you want to know the full story.
A release shot is always nice and
Shaun Quinlan’s ‘Back to Your Pack’
(17) is a sensitive self-portrait of
angler and kingfish on the flats. The
judges liked it and it scored well in the
popular vote too.
The smaller shots here again add to
the colour mix and still have plenty
to say. A little butterfinned ‘Dasher
Brown’ (14: John Clark); ‘Dawn on the
Tumut’ (15: Kenneth John Jones), and
Al Simson’s ‘Beach Barra’ (16) all tell
their own little story.
As mentioned, we do crop photos to
fit layouts. Jeremy our designer prefers
level horizons and needs room for page
bleeds, text pull-outs and captions. He
likes to keep images near related text
and has to steer key visual elements
away from central page folds. So if
you are editing your own shots and
prefer a particular crop, please supply
the original file (uncropped) as well, to
give us plenty of design flexibility.
Brad our photo-man adjusts image
sharpness and corrects colour balance
to match our print profiles and speci-
fications. He can also clean-up minor
imperfections but we are not in the
business of turning pigs into purses.
The original material has to be good.
If you can cover all or most of these
bases with sharp, well exposed, hi-res
images you are welcome to join the
ranks of our regular contributors. Get
the pictures right and the words are
easy — we can help with that too.
