The contest is open to all members in good standing of Pocono Photo Club and Palmerton Camera Club.
While entering all 7 categories by an individual is not required, only one photograph per category will be accepted. Photographers can enter one category or as many as 7 categories.
The interpretation of each category is up to the photographer by using all cameras including cell phones. Editing should be limited to: standard color, brightness/contrast, basic sharpening, exposure correction, cropping, or B&W conversion, and removal of distracting objects or dust spots.
Photographs cannot be altered using advanced adjustments such as HDR, artistic filters, panorama stitching, focus stacking, B&W with one color remaining, and multiple exposures, even if this can be done in-camera. Please do not include any identifying characteristics such as watermarks, names, or titles on the images.
Categories:
1.Point of view: Try to see the world through the perspective of someone or something else, be it a person or an object. What does the world look like through another’s eyes? What does a fly on the wall see?
2.Parallel lines: Parallel lines are everywhere, in architecture, agriculture, even your own home. They can meet at a vanishing point or carry on indefinitely. The more lines, the better!
3.Typography- having fun with fonts: Written letters and numbers are all around us. The whole world is labeled! Make letters your subject.
4.Play with focus: Does everything have to be perfectly focused? What would happen if your image (or even just part of it) was out of focus? Could it add mystery or interest?
5.Repetition: Create depth and interest through repetitive patterns or objects. Look for similar elements.
6.Bridge- small bridges: old, unusual, covered, stone arch, abandoned, ornate. Also, try to use an interesting angle for the shot, lighting, or include something to add to the interest.
7.Springtime- since the contest runs from March through May, plant life will be emerging and flowering. Capture the beauty and wonder of this season.
