September – Circle or circles.

A round-shaped figure with no corners or edges, such as a tire, a wall clock, or a lollipop.

October –  Shutter Speed – minimum 1 second

Slow down your shutter speed to a minimum of 1 second and see what you can create! Whether it be panning, ICM (intentional camera movement), or whatever your mind comes up with, let’s see what we can do!

November –  *****competition****** Interesting windows, doors, portals, gates etc.

December – Panning

Convey a real sense of movement while highlighting your subject. Unlike ICM, this one should have a definite identifiable subject and imply motion.

January – Part Color/Part Black and White

Be creative! Color Splash (spot color), blended image(s), gradients, composites, layered and multi-image (in camera or post). Simple to complex.

February – ********Competition*******. Minimalist

Less is often more. Intentionally reduce clutter and distractions to emphasize the subject or composition. This can involve isolating a single subject against a plain background, capturing a lone object in a vast expanse of space, or highlighting the symmetry and patterns found in everyday scenes.

March – Rain

April – Improbable (weird)

Let your imagination roam freely. This can be an improbable subject(s), or creative processing – think altered reality or composites or whatever you fancy. Experiment!

May – ***********Competition********* Angles

Right angles, triangles, where two straight lines intersect. Or…could be an interesting angle that the photographer takes, such as lying on your back and looking straight up.

Images need to be captured after May 15th, 2024.
