ECC Photo Naming Standards

The filename of each photo you submit to a meeting should conform to this pattern:

XX YY Title Lastname Firstname

XX is the category (3 categories are specified for each meeting)

• MO for Monochrome
• GS for Group Shoot
• NA for Nature
• CC for Color Creative (see additional naming rule below)
• SA for Special Assignment
• VB for Very Best

YY is a 2-digit number, either 01 or 02

• Use 01 for the first photo you’re submitting in the category
• Use 02 for the second photo you’re submitting in the category (if a 2nd photo is permitted)

Title is an optional brief title of the photo

Please include your Lastname Firstname so everyone can see who's photo this is

For Color Creative, please send 2 files, and they together count as one submission to the category

• The original photo you started from (perhaps after normal development)
• The final masterpiece, after all your manipulations

Begin by naming the final masterpiece photo as, for example,

CC 01 Bamberg Suszko Glen 02 (Note the 02 added to the end of the final masterpiece photo's name)

Then name the original photo with the exact same name, except change the 02 at the end to 01

CC 01 Bamberg Suszko Glen 01

If you’d like more extensive critique on one (and only one) of your submitted photos, add a space and the letter C to the end of the filename.

Naming your photos using these rules makes our photos appear in the proper order during the meeting and website slide shows.
