About Daily Post North Wales

Hello,

Welcome to the Flickr Group of the Daily Post, North Wales.

Our aim here is to celebrate the culture, people, and natural beauty of North Wales, in a forum that will compliment our newspaper and website: www.dailypost.co.uk

Anyone can become a member of the DP Flickr group - whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, living here or just visiting - we’d love to see your snaps!

Occasionally we’ll showcase the work and talent of Flickr group members, by reproducing images in the paper - often as one of our regular postcards, or a “Big Picture”,

We’ll also run occasional discussion threads and competitions, when we’ll be asking for photos on a specific theme or event. We’ll then select the best for printing in the paper - usually as part of a dedicated Flickr theme feature.

We guarantee we’ll never profit from your photos. If we print your picture we’ll let you know - usually via a discussion thread in this group, or by Flickrmail.

Every picture that is published in the newspaper will have a credit - ideally with your real name, rather than your Flickr handle, if that‘s OK with you.

When you post a photo please include a short title (above the picture, as usual with all Flickr uploads).

Also please feel free to add a short caption - no more than 150 words please - in the description space below the photo. (You could simply state where the picture was taken, or expand and say why you like the capture - or why that day, or place, was so memorable - or even write about what technique you used to get a particular effect - it’s really up to you, so long as it‘s not offensive!

One potential problem we anticipate is the size of images when downloaded - we need a certain size file to get a high enough quality to publish in the paper, but there are restrictions on the size of file non-pro Flickr members can use.

To get around this, if we choose your picture for publication and it’s too small then we’ll be in touch, and ask you to email us a bigger file if that’s OK - one of our admins will send you a FlickrMail or I’ll email you from my personal email: debbiejames@dailypost.co.uk

I realise I’ve not actually said what the best sizes are for publication - for a very good reason: I don’t know! I’ll find this out from our picture desk and post the details asap.

I hope this description is useful - please feel free to email or post a message with any suggestions or queries.

Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.

Deb
