What I garnered from the collective wisdom displayed here (at least what I can understand and work with!) will hopefully help me to get my photos accepted for publication:
- Set up the shot with the same considerations that I used when shooting images with film (several of which were published), i.e.: smallest aperture, proper lighting, exposure, etc.; - Use the widest angle focal length; - Set my digital camera to the highest quality JPG setting (on mine it’s “extra fine”); - Save the images on my computer as TIFFs using my Corel photo program if I am going to manipulate them, otherwise leave them as JPGs; - Save them on to a disc prior to submittal to a publication. My intention is not to submit to the majors (MRR and RMC). I’ll leave that to those who are much more skilled than I. But I would like to see S represented in some of the local and smaller mags. I join “String Bob” in thanking all who have contributed to this discussion. Hopefully others have found it useful too. If I am off base on any of the above, please correct me!

Contrary to how it may appear, I actually did learn something from the discourse. A lot of it is still over my head, but I believe, as surely and timely as the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon, that it will all fall together someday. I never realized how hard it is to draw a straight line until I tried to do it with a computer, nor how hard it is to take a picture until I tried it with a digital camera. You guys have the ball half way down the field while I'm still trying to figure out what page you're on!
