Submissions to the Image Database

Image Database

This description of the club’s Image Database is adapted from material prepared by John Berry for the 2022-2023 Annual Report.

Nature London members provide excellent images of plants, birds, insects, etc. Some of the best photos appear on the front cover and back page of the Cardinal.

The database contains over 16,000 images. These include:

  • Nature specimen photographs: birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, plants, and wildflowers (approx. 12,000 images),
  • Views of natural areas,
  • Photographs of club meetings, field trips, workshops, banquets, and awards,
  • Archival material including old photographs of historical interest,
  • Drawings by members of birds, plants, etc.
  • Graphics used in the production of the Cardinal.

Guidelines for Submissions

The following information should be part of the JPG file’s name:

Supplementary information can be provided in a TXT file with the same name. This would be necessary for any group photos.

See Your Photos Online?

The webmaster is offering two options to photographers who are members.

Option 1: Email up to 12 files (or a link to the files) to webmaster@naturelondon.ca. The webmaster will add your photos to the club’s website. You will receive a link to the page with your photos. Other members will be able to see the page. Finally, your photos will be added to the club’s Image Database.

Option 2: Create a WordPress website with the assistance of the club’s webmaster. He will help you choose a plan and a design that meet your needs.
