Photo Competition

Each year our club runs a photographic competition inviting members to enter photos that they have taken during club activities. Our aim is to challenge those with an interest in photography with a variety of categories and to present an interesting collection of photos at the end of the year with memories of the years many enjoyable and exciting activities.

 

This year’s categories are:       

1. FLORA AND FAUNA - plants and animals

2. LANDSCAPE- general scenery; may be as diverse as forest, panorama, waterfall, marine, etc.

3. CHARACTER- eg. club member in action or at rest, social, funny moment

4. MINISCULE- eg. close-up / macro shot of insect, flower detail, texture etc

5. AFTER DARK- night time shot eg. campfire, after sunset, moon/stars

6. OPEN- photo by a club member on an activity not directly associated with the club. This may include interstate or overseas trips, FMR walks or perhaps a walk with several club members which is not an official 'sign on' activity.

7. CARRY ON HIKING – 15 second (approx) movie clip showing a humorous incident that has occurred during club activity or an informative educational clip, for example, promoting safe hiking practice.  Several shorter clips may be joined together. Entries must be supplied on CD. The filename is to be in the format of <entrant name>_<title>_<club activity>.mov. The permission of all persons shown in the clip must have given their permission for the competition entrant to enter their likeness in the competition.

We wish to emphasize that the competition is open to all club members and encourage all to enter irrespective of perceived photographic ability. Your equipment need not be highly technical or expensive, (I-phone cameras are acceptable) - it's the composition and content of the photo that will be most important.

Important Dates

The competition will run from the close of the previous competition, August 2011 (yes, that means it has already started!!) and will close at the club meeting of October 2012.  We will aim to display photos and present prizes at the club meeting of November 2012.
