Image Sharing Guidelines

Still images or videos may be submitted. All entries must be submitted digitally.

Still images - The original still image could have come from a slide or digital image and a maximum of three entries can be submitted. We prefer underwater images, but any nature image can be submitted.

Video - The video should be less than 2 minutes.

While showing the entries each participant should share information as to where and how it was shot, if it was manipulated, and how it was altered. Any of the shared mages may be used on the MPUP website and for the end of year show assuming credits to the photographers are given.

Photos showing divers damaging the reef, stressing animals, marine life being fed or touched, or animals moved into an unnatural environment will not be shown. Any attendees are encouraged to add their comments as the images are being shown.

Formatting and Submission

The images should be a maximum of 2000 pixels on the long side. We use a high definition projector (1920x1080). Save as a JPEG (.jpg) file. When saving the jpeg image, if it asks what quality setting you want, set it to the maximum. Attach the image to an email and send to Image Sharing Entries with MPUP included in the subject line. Entries must be submitted no later than 5:00 pm Thursday prior to the meeting, unless otherwise specified. The submitted photos should include the name of the photographer at the beginning of the file name as shown below. This is so images will be grouped by submitter when shown. Example: JohnSmith_fish1.jpg JohnSmith_turtle.jpg JohnSmith_fish2.jpg
