Hi guys,

I have devised this schedule for the team of photographers who have made themselves available to photograph this event. It is a long, full day and we want to captured all aspects of the event.

Where to put images

All images will be posted for review by fans, athletes etc. They need to arrive to me so i can watermark them, upload them and coordinate them. Athlete images will be watermarked and the hi-res will be made available to the athletes to choose from and for purchase, to offset costs of. Which ever images are chosen by the althetes for purchase, the photographer of that image will be compensated. So make sure your shots look amazing for the athletes to purchase. THESE IMAGES NEED TO ARRIVE ASAP. SUNDAY NIGHT IS OPTIMAL.

Images can be put into sites like yousendit.com or sendthisfile.com or similar. Be sure to zip them into groups.

You can also upload the images by the folder to my ftp server. You will need an ftp app.

Shelly will coordinate with Rory to get the best one or two distributed to the paper. Questions can be emailed to me at publisher@365antigua.com. I will be waiting for the images to watermark and build the galleries. The link to all the galleries will begin on 365antigua.com and will be circulated as the galleries go up.
