Send Us Your Photos

So you've got a great pic of 8 gold lamé reindeer being driven by Elvis Claus in his convertible Cadillac sleigh that blinks to the tune of "Blue Christmas"? Send it.

We can't guarantee that it will make the cut, but if it's truly over the top, we'll post it.

Send Your Photo Now

 

Please follow these guidelines:

  • DO send an approximately 640wide x 480 pixel tall JPG image ideally at 72 pixels per inch resolution with a file size around a couple hundred kb or less.
  • DON'T send a hUge file - with a capital 'U'. We're going to have to shrink it to be viewed on the web, anyway. If the image is more than 1000 pixels tall OR wide, if the resolution is more than 150 pixels per inch, or the file size is more than 1Mb, it's TOO BIG. Don't send it.
  • DON'T send a teeny weeny, jaggy thumbnail that's under 1kb and expect us to be able to use it, either.
  • DO send JPG (preferred) or GIF.
  • DON'T send BMP, PSD, TIF, PNG or other non-web file formats unless they are well under 1Mb.
  • DO send us high contrast, in focus, interesting photos of the biggest, silliest, wildest, or most unusual Xmas displays you've ever seen or made.
  • DON'T send stuff that's off-topic or boring - we don't need a picture of grandma basting the turkey, unless her baster is 4 feet tall and glowing in the dark.
  • DON'T send a picture that's so dark/blurry/whatever that it's hard to see why anyone should want to look at it in the first place.

If you don't understand any of the above, or for more information on photos on the web, read a web article, a WIKI or a book on digital images.
