File Naming

To avoid mixing up each members files, each image should have a clear file naming structure. It just allows us to keep better track of the images.

• Number_FirstName_Surname_Title.jpg

• The use of stock photography, computer-rendered or third party content (including skies, borders or textures) is prohibited.

Instructors, students, emerging members, and attendees of photo-tours where the primary focus is not educational, are not restricted.
