Dear birdwatchers (including photographers),
We need to get all the Photoguide materials ready very soon for production. If you have good photos that you have not submitted, please do it soon. Not only do we need rare birds, we also need excellent photo of common birds. Please submit it to Shing or the HKBWS office. If you have not visited our office, this is good time to do so.
Here are a list of birds I think photo is lacking. If you have any photo of these species, and if you don't mind letting us use it, please send them to us.

The rules are:
1. Photo must be taken in HK by person who submit it
2. Must submit information on the date and place of the photo
3. The photo is for one-time use by the publisher. The photographer still own all rights to the photo.
4. We will not pay money to use the photo, but contributors can get a free copy of the new photoguide if their photo is chosen.
5. A small committee of HKBWS will select the photo.

Do you want photos of birds in the hand? For a number of these species (and some others not listed) these are the only photos that exist of Hong Kong birds. Author: HFCheung Time: 7/01/2009 22:02
Sorry, we would not take bird-in-hand photo in this photoguide. May be we should accept them in another publication.
A meeting will be held before the Lunnar New Year (probably 20/1 or 21/1) to talk about the selection of photos. It would be great if you could send your photos to us before the meeting.
Thank you very much!!!

Dear birdwatchers,
大家多多幫忙！
Here are more information on the photos that we need for the photo guide. These are not all, but these are the most critical at this point. These are species that we know photos are available somewhere. Those species that are marked "no photo" means we have not got any new photo submitted this time (or even last time). We may have to re-use the photo that we have last time if they are any. Species with a "C" grade mean that we already got some low quality photos but they are not good enough for production. Species with a "B" grade means that we already got some photos with reasonable quality, but for production purposes, better quality photos are highly desirable. I hope this list will allow birdwatcher to know what particular species are desparately needed by us, so that they can spend time sorting their collection effectively. Thank you.

Very surprise!!!
No photo of the Yellow-billed Loon???
Poor photo of Grey Phalarope???? the one at Nam Chung was so cooperative!
Short-tailed Shearwater only in 'B' photo????
Author: John Holmes Time: 14/01/2009 10:00 Subject: Photo guide submissions
I think some guidance as to file size and format of submissions would encourage photographers to send more photos in.
An example: "jpeg files, size 18 cm by 12 cm at 300 dpi" or whatever is required.
Is it preferred that photos be Emailed, or should they be posted on CD/DVDs ?
Is the photoguide going to have the same layout as the previous one ? If different, this should be made clear.
Previous submissions for this photoguide were made more than a year ago. Now we know where the "gaps" in the collected photos are, I'm sure we can move forward. Author: HKBWS Vicky Time: 14/01/2009 10:20
I've quoted the photo requirement and naming here:
Photo requirement
Photo size: Minium-1200 x 800 pixels, Maxium-As high as possible
File format: jpeg or tiff (file size less than 20Mb)
-Only digital image would be accepted. If you would like to contribute film or slide, please kindly help to scan them into digital format.
-Make sure the bird(s) you taken is/ are wild birds and taken in Hong Kong.
File naming (Important)
To avoid confusion and easy reference, please name the photo files in the following format which contains 4 fields.
3-digit-speciesNumber_PhotographerEnglishName_PhotoTakingDate_PhotoTakingLocation
For example:
Ann Chan took the photo of Chinese Bulbul at Kowloon Park on 8 Aug 2003. The photo should be named as: 271_Ann Chan_Aug2003_Kowloon Park
-For species number, please refer to the attached file: HKList2008.xls
-All file names should NOT contain Chinese character to avoid error in coding.
-If the date or location of photo taken is unknown, please put NA to represent. (e.g. 271_Ann Chan_NA_Kowloon Park). However, species number and English name of photographer must be included.
-Sufficient information of photo is one of the criteria to make the selection. Author: HFCheung Time: 14/01/2009 11:57
This is in response to Tung's message. I find it totally surprising too, but that is the reality. I know a lot of people have photo of the Grey Phalarope in Nam Chung, but there is no submission from that site. My feeling is that some worry about being accused of getting too close to the bird.
We have to work from here.

Thanks for reminding us about the submission guidelines, I had overlooked these...

Dear Yau,
Although we do not recommand using flash, I think using flash is sometimes necessary. The photo selection team (of which I am a member) will make decision whether to ban all flash photos.
I saw an article about you as a photographer in a DC Photo magazine. Nice report.
HF Cheung Author: yyattung Time: 17/01/2009 21:35
Personally, I accept photos taken with flash. Author: nlinyau Time: 17/01/2009 22:26
多謝輝哥的回答
鶇哥我好明白你們著緊記錄呢樣東西 ,亦唔會怪你地用閃 ,只不過係我自己就會堅決唔用o甘解
不過用還用盡量細D power ,減低影響會好D ... 看過一張相係用20D + 400/4 DO 拍攝 ,呢部機高ISO都唔差 ,但攝影者竟然用到ISO200 ,F9.0 ,相信閃燈無fullpower都有1/2 ,完全係以一張好o既相為先 ,心態o既問題 ..... 希望呢方面可以改一改
