Your part in the Fawley Parish Council website is important to us and we would like to see the photographs your shooting using the latest digital technology which is now available.

Each month we will select and publish the best photos that come in to the site - so start sending them in.

Remember, whilst we are after local news images from around the parish, we're also interested in your visual interpretation of both local and global issues as well as just great pictures from your daily lives.

You can submit single images or a series of pictures that tell a story, a photo essay, but please remember we do need some text to accompany the pictures.

A guide to shooting a photo essay can be found below.

Any photographs directly relating to a current news story may be used immediately throughout the website

Why not bookmark our Picture Gallery index which is the home to pictures and essays and come back on a regularly basis to look at the new photos.

How to submit a picture
If you have a photograph worth looking at, if you found yourself in the right place at the right time, send it to webteam@tlc-online.co.uk

Please don't forget to include your name and some background information as to what the image is about and why you took the picture as this will increase your chances of selection. If you want more information, please contact us on the above email address.

Guide to shooting a Photo Essay

Photos:
Ideally you should aim to take a variety of photographs - it's a good idea to plan the story before you start.

A good first photo would be one that introduces the subject to the readers.

Makes sure you take some close-up photos as well as some wider pictures to show the subject's environment but remember to include something in the foreground to add impact.

When you take the picture, remember to look up or down to see what's around you.

You might get a better shot if you kneel, or find a position to look down from.

The completed photo essay will have no more than 10 photographs, but you can send us more to choose from.

Make sure you have permission from anyone pictured before submitting the photographs.

Words: Each picture will need a caption.

Who, what, why, where and when is a good place to start when gathering information for the caption, but where possible quotes from those pictured and a description of how you are feeling will help bring the essay to life.

We don't need many words - no more than 80 per picture.

If you submit an image, you do so in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
