Information for those contributing photographs
to Singing Insects of North America [SINA]

Copyrights
You retain the copyrights to any photographs you allow to be posted on SINA.

Each of your posted photographs will be accompanied by a credit line similar to this one: "Photograph by J. L. Dough, Tennessee Botanical Gardens, used by permission."

Details of copyright policy for items on SINA are at http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/i00cr.htm, which is easily accessed from SINA's home page (http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/) and from the first of SINA's frequently asked questions (http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/faq.htm).

Acknowledgement
If you contribute one or more photographs to SINA, your name will be added to the list of contributors at http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/index.htm#RecContr.

If you request it (but not otherwise), your name will be added to the list of contributors who allow their photographs to be used by others, without requiring specific permission, for noncommercial, not-for-profit purposes. Those wishing to use the photographs commercially still must get written permission from those who hold the copyrights, as explained more fully at http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/i00cr.htm.

Formats and pixel counts
Photographs are best sent digitally, as jpeg files attached to e-mail. For each picture, please send the highest pixel-count version you have (but it need not be larger than what will fit in a rectangle 1280 pixels wide and 960 pixels high). From that version I will make images of lower pixel counts as needed.

As you may have noticed, most photographs on SINA can be viewed in three sizes: thumbnail, regular, and "jumbo". The jumbo size [1280 x 960 pixels maximum] is optional, but all contributed photographs must allow an acceptable regular-sized version (ca. 640 x 480 pixels) to be made.

If digital versions of your photographs are not available, slides or prints can be sent. They will be scanned and returned.

Satisfaction guaranteed
If you are ever dissatisfied with what is posted on SINA under your name, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your concerns. If I can't, I'll remove the offending items.
