How to post photos for online critiques

As an added benefit of participating in an Arizona Highways Photography Workshop, your photographer will conduct a post-workshop critique of images you captured during your workshop. We also provided a centralized location where you can share additional photographs with your workshop group. Here’s how you can participate in this exciting optional post-workshop activity!

Step One: Go to: http://friends.myphotoalbum.com

Step Two: Log In: Select the Login link found towards top right of the MyPhotoAlbum.com screen. When the login screen appears, please use the login information specific to your workshop that was given to you by your escorts.

Once logged in, a listing of workshop albums appears on the screen. Please click on your workshop album. In your workshop album, you will see 3 different types of sub-albums.

Step Three: Choose the sub-album you wish to work with.

Critique Photos sub-album: Each workshop student will have their own folder within this sub-album. In the folder with your name, please post a maximum of 6 photos from your workshop that you would like the photographer to review. The photographer will review the 6 images you add and provide a critique of 3 of those photos.
Individual Student Albums: Each workshop student will have their own individually named album within this sub-album, where you may post a maximum of 20 additional photos from your workshop.
Group Photos sub-album: Feel free to post your photos of other students from your workshop or the group in action during the workshop in this sub-album.

And in case you are interested...

How do I submit images to Friends of Arizona Highways?
We're always looking for good images to be used on our Web site and in our promotional material. We do not pay for the use of photographs, but we will do our best to include a photographic credit.

You can either send us your original transparencies, a CD, or a DVD with your photos. Please send no more than eight (8) images per workshop attended. We will return transparencies after scanning, but we do not return CDs or DVDs unless it's requested.

We ask for the following when sending a digital submission:

Acceptable file formats are TIF or JPG.
File size should be 300 dpi with the long dimension about 7 inches long (about 2100 dpi). This equates to a file that is about 8MB. Files that are larger may be returned to sender, as they take too long to load on our computers.
Please submit 8-bit photos rather than 16-bit.
Enhance your photos before submitting them if they need it. What you submit should be a final product, not one that still requires a lot of level or color adjustment.
Do not submit photos with layers. If you do some enhancing work, flatten the layers before submitting the image.
Name your photos appropriately so that they can be distinguished from those of your fellow students. The preferred format is: FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME_description.extension. Here is an example: JOHN_DOE_monumentvalley.jpg
Download, fill out and submit an Image submission form to accompany your photos.

For more information, please call the office at (602) 712-2004 or toll-free (888) 790-7042.
