BRILLIANT coLOKS: Exceptionally bright colors, especially reds, yellow, and blues. In landscapes, rich blue skies; not gray or muddy.
NEEDLE SHARPNESS: Photos must be sharp for good enlargement. Some of our pictures are blown up from 4 to 6 diameters.
CORRECT EXPOSURE AND PROCESSING: These are musts. Photos must be tops from a technical and reproduction standpoint. It will save time and shipping costs for both of us if you eliminate transparencies that do not measure up.
STRONG SIMPLE COMPOSITION: The best calendar pictures are simple in composition, with not too many elements in them competing for the eye's attention. Trying to get too much into a picture makes it "busy," weakens its pictorial and shoot the desired pictures as opportunities present themselves. |
