White's Ultimate Treasure Photo Contest!

Active member
White's is looking for treasure photos for our upcoming 2010 Calendar. If you're handy with a digital camera and would like to show off some of your White's finds, we'd like to consider you for the calendar!

Here's how it works:

  • Images should be oriented horizontally. Finished size will be 11" x 8.5".
  • Shots need to be at least 5 MB to enlarge properly. (Bigger is better.)
  • Closeup shots of treasure(s) are best. You can show off a spectacular find, a collection, or even your finds from a period of time: a day, a year ... or ALL of your finds.
  • Include your detector in some of the shots.
  • Maps and other related props are great.
  • Not sure exactly what we're looking for? Send thumbnails of a variety of shots.
  • Please don't e-mail photos over 1 MB. Either e-mail smaller (low-rez) images or upload your full, high-rez images to a free photo-sharing service like photobucket.com and send the us the link to view them.
  • Submissions will be accepted until November 13.
  • Photos chosen will be awarded a $100 Accessory Certificate and receive 10 free copies of the calendar, plus photo credit.

How do I take a 5MB photo? Even at my camera's highest resolution, they are under 2 MB at 8.1 megapixels.
 
It depends on how many megapixels your camera has. If you go into the menu and make sure it is on the highest resolution (usually "fine") you will get the largest pics your camera can produce. You are right, though, that is pretty large. I am looking at some raw .jpg's from my camera and they are at most a little over 3MB. Maybe they want .tif files, which tend to be larger. Maybe they need to specify file type.

I think Melissa meant "5 megapixels", not 5MB.

Hi Neil-

You may be able to set a higher rez setting on your camera. Sometimes, the default is not the highest. If you
