Hi, everyone
October’s almost here and that means the Nature Photography competition is fast approaching. October 13 is the date and, as past is prologue, the competition should be a highlight of the club season. The club has a wealth of very accomplished nature photographers, which makes for a lively and thoroughly enjoyable competition.
In addition to the usual monthly competition awards, a Best of Show winner will be selected from among the winners of the usual four categories. The first place winners of each category will be set aside until the end of the evening, when all four will be shown, and the judge will then select the Best of Show from among them. The actual award will be handed out at the year-end awards celebration.
Here is the Nature Photography topic definition:
“Acceptable entries are photographs that portray various aspects of natural plant and animal life; that illustrate the natural features of land, sea, and sky; or that reveal natural phenomena. No image in this competition may show human intervention. Domestic plants (e.g., in a botanical garden) or animals (including zoo animals) may be included as long as they do not show any human intervention (e.g., collars or ear tags, gates, walls, paths, signage).”
Please be mindful that electronic submissions for projected images must be received no later than 11:59 pm, October 6. The images should be emailed to SSCCphotography@yahoo.com. (One important detail – Only members who have paid their annual dues may participate in the competition.)
As always, if you have any questions about the competitions, please feel free to contact me at competition@ssccphotography.org.
See you on the 13th.
