Hi Camera Club Members;
The Caveman Camera Club will continue to hold on-line ZOOM judging,critiquing, and competition for October.
The judging/scoring will be done in advance of the ZOOM meeting by judges at home. The scores will be announced, and critiquing will happen at the live ZOOM meeting, which will be on Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 pm. All members will receive a ZOOM Invitation prior to the meeting.
This month’s competition will be electronic only. You will be allowed to submit up to four images in three categories: OPEN, ASSIGNED, AND ALTERED REALITY. Altered Reality is defined as “Depicting photographic subjects in a substantial departure from realism. This may be accomplished through control of content, the photographic process, or post processing”.
As your projectionist, I am responsible for collecting the photos you submit, and putting them together for the competition. I hope many members decide to participate. We are looking forward to this opportunity to continue honing our photographic skills during these difficult times of isolation.
HERE IS INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW TO ENTER IMAGES IN THE ELECTRONIC COMPETITION:
1. You can enter up to four images. They can all be open category, or all in the assigned category, or all in the Altered Realty category, or you can enter in each category.
2. The assigned category for October is “Black and White”. Assigned category photos must have been taken after May 13, 2020. See Club website for more information: competitions
