REQUIREMENTS & HINTS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL VINEYARD PHOTOGRAPH

This is not a photographic competition but an opportunity to show your Beautiful Vineyard at it's best to a wide, wine interested audience around the world.  We do have some technical requirements for the photograph you submit. You may wish to refer these requirements to your local camera shop or Art Studio for interpretation.

Requirements:
[1] JPEG (.jpg) images only.
[2] Minimum dimensions of the photograph:   (Even a 1.2 megapixel camera can produce photography of the required quality.)

(Photographs may be resized down and possibly cropped if necessary to fit the above dimensions.)
[3] We can accommodate both portrait and landscape photographs but landscapes are preferred.  For vineyard scenes, landscape photographs are usually more suitable. 

Hints:
* When taking the photograph do not use digital zoom – this will result in a grainy image
* Do not increase the size of the image using a photographic editor – this will result in a grainy image
* If taking a landscape picture with a digital camera use the landscape mode if available.  This will help get a better general focus i.e. not on one small point.
* Use a tripod if possible – it will avoid the wobbles.
* Here are some websites that offer further information.
