Historical
Meteorological Photos - How
to Contribute Your Photos
Send
in Your Photos
We want to include your photos in
the
collection. If you have a group photo which you think might fit
into
any of the categories, please scan it at high resolution and send it by
email to: jonesb@ncf.ca
Dating
and IDs in Photos
Please try to identify the year of
the
photo, anyone you know who is in it, and the occasion. Once
posted,
our viewers should be able to fill in missing information.
Resolution
High resolution normally means up to
1
MB for black and white photos, depending on print size; 3+ MB for
colour
photos. These resolutions are normally the size of a medium
resolution
digital photo out of the camera. The high resolution is helpful
if the photo has to
be cropped and will always produce a clearer copy for the web.
Snail
Mail
If scanning is not an option,
borrowing
and returning by snail mail is possible. Please send them to:
Bob
Jones
24 Higgins Road
Nepean, ON
K2G 0R5
and
they will be scanned and returned promptly.
Dropbox
and FTP
If you have a large number of
photos,
Dropbox can easily be used - yours or mine. File transfer (FTP)
can also be used instead of sending emails with
attachments.
Dropbox and FTP are much faster than email. Again, please get in
touch to set those up.
Photo Quality Upgrades
Finally, if you have an original
clear
print of a blurry photo which we already have posted, we would love to
improve the quality for posting and would appreciate a copy.
Blurry
photos are often copies of copies or reprints from newpapers or
magazines
such as Zephyr.
