Re: COG Photo Competition (Resend)

[Harold Schranz <>]

Hi Marg et al.

I'm thinking of doing them on 10cmX15cm photo print size - around 10 cents per print - so 40 cents expenditure for 4 labels. Easier (for me) perhaps than using a printer.

I'm happy to use Arial ... I'll probably stick the above information including camera zoom and f stop info (always fun for the photogeeks!).

Harold

PS I suppose I'll scan Google for an acceptable typographical format (bold/italics etc ...) but basic is always best.

Neil,

What details do you want on the caption paper.

Can I suggest a business card size 60 x 90mm

writing:  Species, (scientific name)

               Photographer name

               Place taken

do you require camera and lens or any other details?

Printed in Arial 12?

If they were all the same it would look more professional.

regards,

Marg
