Photo Submission
Guidelines

We want to see shots of you enjoying this great wilderness… or barely surviving… or just hanging out…

Photographs, like everything else on QuietJourney, remain the property of the photographer or original copyright owner(s). We just want to borrow it for a while. If you are not the "creator" of the image we can't add it to the album without consent of its owner.

How do I add my pictures to the album?
Contact us and let us know what you have and we'll tell you where and how to send 'em. Be sure to include any other questions you may have.

 The actual pixel dimensions should be near the 640x480 range. Ideally images should be saved in jpeg format. Maximum quality - Minimum compression. We'll size and optimize them for the web. If you are scanning them specifically for Quietjourney please do NOT over-sharpen. If you are unsure about anything or have questions, just ask.

More information than you may want to know.

All monitors are not created equal
Neither were operating systems.
( The following is just FYI. All pictures sent to QuietJourney will be modified to look as good as possible on a well calibrated monitor. Don't worry too much, just send them. I haven't refused any yet)

Just like your TV, monitors are not factory adjusted to any standard. (Nor can they be) The quality of the image you see is significantly influenced by how well your monitor is calibrated.

If you have calibrated your monitor reasonably well, you should just barely see a difference between the #12 patch and the #13 patch on the scale above. The difference between the #1 and the #2 will be noticeably greater. If your on a Mac or a newer Windows machine, you certainly should be able to see all 13 distinct patches. In any case, the #1 is pure white and #13 pure black and of course all of them should look neutral because they are.

If you see two different grays in the image above, chances are your monitor could be getting old. Colored edges are not a good sign either. The actual gray color in both is the same as #7 in the previous scale.
