I know Tag has stepped down (is stepping down?), but the website still lists Tag as editor...who is the new editor and how do I contact him? I'm finally getting over my fear and want to send in an article for possible publication!

Hi, the new Editor is Michael Watts, email michael.watts01@btinternet.com, however i think you can email Tag at his usual email address and Michael is linked into it, for the next couple of months or so. The latest issue, 213 is very good, i suspect Tag had quite a lot of input and is assisting Michael bed in. cheers Rob

Thanks! I had talked to Tag AGES ago about writing an article, so hopefully it will still be wanted!

Michael Watts?

He's the guy who gave me a free mamod set about 6 years ago. Never met him face to face, he sent it via Tag.

All the info for submitting articles (where, how, format, photo's) etc are in the mag - along with Michael's editorial (and Tag's review section), and yes, this months is a great issue.

A word of warning though - don't do as I did and get "all nostalgic" over the recent change of editor and start looking through your pile of back issues - or if you do, DON'T look at the advertisements (especially the old prices!!)

Certainly will.....

Thanks Tag! Just have to finish it up and I will send it along!

Does anyone know what the photo requirements are for submission? DPI, size, megapixels, etc?

From the submission notes-

Picture size should be greater than 300kB and, ideally, bigger than 3000 x 2000pixels.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. A friend wants to submit photos taken with his iphone and I said I didn't think they'd be of good enough quality....

Bit tongue in cheek really,and no disrespect to Tag for a superb mag., but my name for it was "Tag's Rag". Now what'll I call it?

Indeed :-) The name does not easily fit does it. I have heard 'Tags rag' several times – also GortonRail... Not my baby any more however – although I am obviously still very much involved.... 300k I would have thought far too small for anything but a small and simple pic. I always suggest 1meg min and I think you will find there will be a change in the submission notes. Human nature you see. If it is 300k min then people will send in pics of 200k. A telephone camera can often supply quite large picture files and my original 2megapixel camera could do files of over one meg if set to best quality – so shouldn't be an issue. If writing an 'eye candy' type photographic article then I would always go for the highest quality and file size that one's camera can do...
