Time to Vote for Volume 4 of the Great POTN Photo Book

I have no horse in this race but I will say that Ed Dilorenzo is my hero.

Good job to all of you working on the book.

Here is a sample page from the Wildlife section -- this is a snapshot of a test file to see how things will look as I set up my master pages in Adobe InDesign. The final results will look a bit different as I fine tune things like text justification, margins, and gutters.

Can you toss me a bone? (one with a bit of meat on it, if you don't mind)

ok

Canon EOS 40D, Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG
HSM (548mm)
f/10, 1/500s, ISO320, Canon 2X extender

Canon EOS 40D,
Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM (548mm),
f/10, 1/500s, ISO320, Canon 2X extender

and the last word before. shouldn't be on a line by itself, if you carried out down with onto Donna.. that would push hours down with it.

Neal Humphris (Neal) is in bold

Rebecca Williamson (Becca) isnt bold - looks like there's less leading between here name and country as well..

looks like you have a double space before This group

setting up paragraph styles in ID shouldn't be too much fuss and would help you

Thanks, Bobster. At the time that I created this test page, I was more interested in getting the layout set up to match what had been done in previous volumes of the POTN Book. I was given a PSD file as a template, but don't feel like Photoshop is a very good page layout tool, so I decided to roll my own. Since yesterday, Lorem Ipsum and I have gotten back on speaking terms and some of the things that you pointed out were corrected. Since then, I have also set up paragraph styles in the text frames and will try to remember to mind things like not leaving words hanging out by themselves. I am not so sure about being able to put each piece of equipment on a line by itself since I have already run into space issues in a couple instances. I have been told that I should leave out all of the "EOS IS USM EX DG HSM" frou-frou. Even though I have permission to edit the narratives in most instances, I have resisted the urge since I feel that part (for good or bad) along with the image is part of the individual photographer's artistic expression.

Have you considered volunteering editing and reviewing talents to help with the book? We could use it since some of us are barely literate (you know, photographers, computer geeks, and the like).

Ahh ok, yeah Photoshop is not the best for Layout/Design, adding layers creates large files - InDesign on the other hand was created just for doing layouts

Yeah, true the extra acronyms aren't needed, after all its not a sales pitch for equipment, its a book filled with amazing photographs

Did offer above

Thanks to all of the hard work from the team! Can't wait to purchase the final product.

I'm very happy to see the book moving again! It seems like it's got some good steam behind it now too. Keep up the great work guys!

Got my proof email tonight and all looks great! Very excited as this is my first time making it into the book.

A couple of my pics were selected, but have not heard anything about looking at proofs. Was this just for the main pics?

thanks to everyone who is working on this project. All your hard work is greatly appreciated!

I am just now finishing up the preliminary page layout work on the Wildlife section where one of your images is located and will be uploading the pages to the proof gallery later tonight. I need to coordinate with Ed on what to email out to those whose images will be published in the book.
