SHOWING OFF TROPHIES Advance-Monticellonian will publish your game pictures

In anticipation of the hunting/fi shing pictures that annually begin showing up about this time, readers are reminded the Ad- vance-Monticellonian will be more than happy to publish any and all game pictures received during hunting and/or fi shing seasons— at no charge. Contributors are simply asked to follow these simple steps: • First, the photograph be taken with a digital camera. If a cell phone camera is used, it must be at the largest fi le size possible. If possible, the photo should be emailed to sports@monticellone- ws.net. Make sure the email program does not downsize the fi le to make it send quicker. The original fi le size of the photo must be received; otherwise, the photo will be unfi t for printing. • Second, the information needed to publish a photograph are the hunter/fi sherman’s name, age, hometown and school attended (if hunter/fi sherman is a youth); where hunt took place or where fi sh was caught; who was with the hunter/fi sherman; and parents’ names (if picture is of a youth). • Third, the type of weapon or tackle that was used by the hunter or fi sherman is needed. • Finally, take the time and compose a good photo that will be cherished. On deer pictures, clean up the blood, put the tongue back in the mouth, and position the hunter and deer for the best angle. Full shade with a fl ash will make a better picture than harsh sunlight and deep shadows. Take the time to take the animal out of the back of the truck and position in a natural setting if possible. Never take the photo of the deer hanging on a skinning rack. Also, please include a way to be contacted should additional in- formation be needed. Send all submissions to [email protected] or bring the pictures by the Advance-Monticellonian offi ce, 314 North Main Street. Should the pictures be dropped off, please include a sheet with all the information needed—in legible form, please. The pic- ture will be scanned and returned. If contributors wish, they may follow up email submissions with a call to Editor/Sports Editor Harold Coggins at 870-367-5325.
