If you submit a picture, it is assumed that permission is given for use on the utahbirds.org web site.  People who download and use these photos without permission of the photographer, are doing so against the policies of this web site. 

The Photo Gallery posts pictures of birds in different plumages, from different perspectives, of different genders and ages, and in different activities (in flight, on a nest, etc.).  The goal is to have the best photos that "describe" each particular species of bird. We hope for a wide range of pictures having value in the areas of art, interest and education.
  

• Name of the photographer
• Name of the bird (if known)
• Gender and plumage of the bird (if known)
• Location
• Date  (The month or season and year will do, if the exact date is not know).
• (If you would like the photo cropped, resized, lightened or altered in any way, to better fit the internet format, please indicate that).

  
(If the format is too large, the webmaster is set up to reformat any photo to
an appropriate size for use on the website -- this takes very little time to do).

File size:  100 Kb or less for bird photos; 150 Kb or less for scenery photos   (approximately)

Width:  600 pixels wide or less for bird photos, and 700 pixels or less for scenery photos

(These sizes fit the format of the web pages where the photos are displayed
and allow the pages to come up quickly).

Photographer's Name: If you put your name on the photograph, it is preferable to make it subtle in  color and of a moderate size so as not to distract from the photo itself. The photographer's name and copyright signature will also be included with the other information about the picture.  If you have a preferred photographer name or copyright name, please indicate that preference.

Format assistance: The webmaster will gladly format the pictures  for the internet, so please send them in no matter what the format.  If you have several photos to send in by e-mail attachment, please try to send no more the 10 Meg. of attachments per e-mail.

Some photos may need to be cropped to fit the format and to better display the bird.  If you would like the webmaster to crop the photo, please let him know.  The webmaster will communicate with the photographer about any need for alteration and  will gladly respond to suggestions and requests.
