LETTERS
What to get something off your chest? Share it with us at wdc@ipcmedia.com for publication in a forthcoming issue or write to: Letters, What Digital Camera, IPC Media, Kings Reach Tower, Stamford St, London SE1 9LS. The Letter of the month will receive a stylish Lexmark P6250 printer, worth £149 (UK only).

PROBLEMS AND ADVICE
Need Help? Then write to Helpfile at: wdchelpfile@ipcmedia.com or at the postal address above. We try to answer all queries, but depending on volumes, answers may not be published immediately. While we may be able to send a personal reply sooner this cannot be guaranteed. Questions published in the magazine may be uploaded to the website at a later date.

PICTURES
Send us your best pictures and you could win a fabulous prize. The best images sent to us each month will be published in WDC’s Best Shot Selector and win one of the following fabulous prizes:
• Adobe Photoshop CS2: The world’s best photo editing software, worth £522.
• Epson R800 printer: This A4 inkjet uses Epson’s UltraChrome Hi-Gloss pigment ink. Worth £249.
• A Sandisk 1GB Extreme III CF/SD memory card: Robust, high performance card from the world leader in media cards

In addition, our resident photo critic (celebrated photographer, author and Photoshop guru Martin Evening) will select a handful of reader’s images for constructive criticism in his monthly Evening Class column. Every picture published wins a copy of Martin’s worldwide bestselling book, Adobe Photoshop for Photographers (£27.99 with a CD, Focal Press) or a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 (RRP £70).

SENDING PICTURES
Images must be big enough to reproduce at a reasonable size. Make sure they’re at least 1800x1200 pixels in size. This equates to a printed size of 15x10cm (6x4”) at 300ppi – or an open file size of about 6-8MB per image, before saving. (Remember that JPEGS are much smaller when not open)
Be sure to include your name and full contact details on the CD or email and, if possible, caption details, including camera, lens and exposure data.

BY EMAIL: Send no more than five JPEG (best quality) images to: wdc@ipcmedia.com. Make sure emails are below 3MB in total. Send separate emails if necessary.
BY POST: Send no more than 20 TIFFS or best quality JPEGS, on a CD (along with a sheet of thumbnails for reference) to: What Digital Camera, IPC Media, Kings Reach Tower, Stamford St, London SE1 9LS.

Don't Forget!
Please include the following information with your submission.
• Your name
• Where you’re from
• Around 20 words about yourself (age, profession, how long you’ve been into photography, favourite subjects etc)
• The title of each image, plus caption details (what is it, where was it taken, interesting techniques etc)
• Camera and lens details
• Exposure information (if known)

PLEASE ALSO INCLUDE A PASSPORT SIZE MUGSHOT OF YOURSELF.
