Combat Camera Images showcases images you feel best illustrates your coverage of the Air Force mission, and others, throughout your Air Force career.
This presentation is open to all AAVS Photojournalists and Air Force Combat Camera Still Photographers past and present – and future.
Past Photographers
For those of us from the past we’d like ten (10) images in horizontal and/or vertical format. If you didn’t keep copies of your work, you can find many of the images you sent to the depository at: https://catalog.archives.gov, when you get there type in your name – no rank, else it will only pull up images with that rank, download the images (you’ll need to copy the captions and info and paste it to a word processor) you want to send us. Include the caption and date and a personal comment about each image. A headshot of you taken around the time of the shot would really be great.
Present and Future Photographers
For you current and future Air Force Combat Camera Photographers we’d like two images a year. Why? Well, if you stay in for a four year tour that’ll be eight images. If you make it a 20-year career that’s 40 images. Your eye and timing will change getting better images every year. Include the caption and date and a personal comment about each image. A headshot of you taken around the time of the shot would really be great.
Send the images and info to: josepj@earthlink.net
Let the world see what you did.
Hi Jose I tried the National Archives website. No luck.
Are there any particular specs for digital (digitized) images? Optimum size? DPI? Date needed?
Thanks
Steve Hock
If scanning in 35mm slides: Scan at 2400 dpi
This produces a:
3642 pixels X 2400 pixels
Resolution of 300 Pixels/Inch
Produces a 12.14” X 8” Image in Photoshop.
For a digital image, send the full size image.
Save the images as a Tiff file and send them via: https://wetransfer.com/ (you can send up to 2GB for free)
They are large images but I’d rather work with a large image and reduce it to fit and still keep the quality high.
