404th Show & Tell Competition: Journalism
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 6:26 pmJournalism entries shall consist of pictures with informative content & emotional impact, including human interest, documentary & spot news. See Rules for what constitutes a journalistic image.
As well as the standard solo image, SEQUENCES are ALLOWED: Sequences of not more than four (4) images are permitted- They may be embedded in one image, (please see my examples) to embed the html is <img src="pbase image address"> (Please Use pbase 'large' for embedded images)
If you cannot figure out how to embed images, then do a mini gallery, post the 1st picture in sequence/mini gallery in the contest & I will look at all the images. Each sequence will count as just ONE entry, so you can enter 3 entries that contain a sequence.
Please put in "Sequence" or "Sequence - Mini Gallery" after your entry, so all know they have to go to your image to see your 'complete' entry.
RULES for journalism photos...
The journalistic value of the photograph shall be considered over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, photographs which misrepresent the truth, such as manipulation of the image, or situations which are set up for the purpose of photography, are unacceptable in Journalism competition. The primary concern is to make story-telling and/or newsworthy photographs. Good titles are important & should add to the photo-story. Due to pbase limitations on title length, you can use the 'description' area for the title as what might appear in newsprint. No manipulation or modification of Journalism images is permitted except resizing, cropping, selective lightening or darkening, and restoration of original color of the scene. No special effect filters can be applied. Any sharpening must appear natural. No elements may be moved, cloned, added, deleted, rearranged or combined. All Journalism images must be consistent with the standards stated in the preamble to these definitions.
