Level Digital Photograph Guidelines Modified 101205 Exhibit

1 All images are to be original images taken by the 4-H member Photography exhibits are to be taken by the 4-H members between county project check-in to the next year county project check-in date

2 CreativeExperimental print sizes must meet the size requirements of your chosen exhibit It is recommended that the digital image be printed on photographic paper or very high quality copier paper The paper quality will help in clarity and sharpness

3 If a photograph is taken with a digital camera is just a straight forward photograph with no changes or augmentation then it would be the same as one for the regular print board or salon print classes To succeed as a digital image (as a separate classification) something more should be done to the photographic image

4 DIGITAL VS FILM Anything that can be done in a dark room on an enlarger can be done on a computer ie cropping color correction parallax etc If an image is digitally altered beyond what can be done on the enlarger ie adding different background removing buildings or people adding text hand-coloring etc it should be entered in the CreativeExperimental Class We realize this will be difficult to enforce We ask your cooperation We also realize the person with the expensive digital camera and high powered computer has some advantages By the same token the person with the expensive large format film camera that takes his processing to a custom lab has many advantages over the person with the inexpensive 35mm camera doing there processing at the local retail store
