Slide Rules

While slide competitions are no longer held this page provides you with the basic information concerning slide mounting you need to know to show slides at members evenings. These are shown in the programme.

There is no limit on the number of slides a member can bring to a members evening though it may not be possible show them all dependent on the total number of slides received from other members. Trade processing of slides is permitted. The submitted slides should be clean and in good condition suitable for projection.

All photographs must be the original work and the copyright of the photographer, who must be a current member of Ilkley Camera Club.

Please mount slides in glass (preferably in Anti-Newton) and make sure the slide and glass are really dry and clean when mounting. The Club will not accept any responsibility for any damage that may occur if a slide is not glass mounted.

If slides are not glass mounted they must be in mounts of at least 2mm thick (the same thickness as a 10p coin).

Mounts often used by processors (e.g. Fuji, Agfa and Kodak) are thin and can cause projectors to jam. This is a serious problem and gives risk of damages to slides. Photographs in such mounts will not be shown.

Blick self adhesive labels are good, as are GEPE Mounts.
