Description:

I love photographing wildlife and I know I'm not the only one! This swap will be 2 ATC's snail-mailed to 2 partners.

For this swap, you will take close-up photos of faces of wildlife and turn them into ATC's. I put some examples here: http://flickr.com/photos/animalchatter/

Whether it is a zebra in the zoo or a bird in your backyard, any animal considered wild will qualify as long as the photo was taken by you and it is a close-up of their face.

รขโ‚ฌยข Any type of camera is permitted.

รขโ‚ฌยข Photos in color or black and white are permitted.

รขโ‚ฌยข These are to be flat photographs only, no embellishments, however digital editing is permitted.

รขโ‚ฌยข Photos may be printed professionally or on your printer. (Only quality photo prints/paper please.)

รขโ‚ฌยข You are required to follow the ATC format of 2.5 x 3.5 inches or 64 x 89 mm. Learn more about ATC etiquette at: http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html.

รขโ‚ฌยข This is an International swap.

รขโ‚ฌยข You must have at least a 4.9 rating with no no-sends in the last 3 months.

รขโ‚ฌยข Newbies are welcome with completed profiles AND recent log-ins to swap-bot.

รขโ‚ฌยข I will drop swappers who do not meet the criteria or have questionable profiles prior to partners being assigned.

I know we all have good intentions when signing up for swaps, but I also understand that things happen sometimes out of our control. I do expect everyone to follow through with their commitment, but I will happily angel this swap on the chance that you don't receive something from your partner...just let me know!

Are we allowed to embellish these ATCs?

animalchatter 08/21/2008 #

Excellent question Guitartists! Sorry that I didn't think to address it. I will make the changes above. :)

These are to be flat photographs only, no embellishments, however digital alterations are permitted.

Do insects count?

animalchatter 08/30/2008 #

sunflowerkat...After careful consideration, yes, insects count. I feel they should certainly be allowed in this swap and if you have a good enough lens to capture the face of an insect, then absolutely go for it!

I love to photograph insects, however I don't have a macro lens...yet! :)

Caranam 09/ 2/2008 #

So the ATCs will be a straight animal face on one side, nothing else? Should the paper be photo quality?

animalchatter 09/ 2/2008 #

Caranam...Yes, photo quality paper, wildlife face closeup on one side, signature, numbering, screen name, etc. on the back. No embellishments, however digital enhancements/editing is permitted.

Please visit http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html if you are uncertain about ATC requirements.

Thanks everyone for your questions! :)

Can it be side profile or no?

animalchatter 09/14/2008 #

luvscrappin...I think as long as the side profile is still a closeup of the face and that it is the main focus of the ATC it would be okay.

I know that wildlife can be difficult to photograph and sometimes a profile is all we can get! :)

Thanks. I think I have a head-on shot but I know I have some great side profile shots.
