Set Subjects 2012
April 26 – “On the Street”
This is also the set subject for the Colac/Bellarine Interclub. Colac has provided the following “loose definition”: “An obvious street scene or street scape in an urban environment – may include people” . Entries due on March 22.
June 26 – Monochrome
Open subject, but all entries will need to be Monochrome. Normal entries per Open Competition (2 Large Prints, 2 Small Prints and 2 Projected Images) No colour entries for this month. Note that we have scheduled a presentation on 12 April to assist people in taking and processing images for monochrome. Entries due on 24 May
August 23 – “Shadows”
No definition required – use your creativity. Entries due on 26 July
October 25 – “Minimalism”
“An image where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. Minimalist photography emphasises simplicity and objectivity.” Check out 20-examples-of-minimalist-photography for some examples and inspiration; or a-10-step-guide-to-superb-minimalist-photography for some tips. There’s also plenty of others if you just google “minimalist photography”. Entries due on 27 September.
November 22 – “Still Life”
“The depiction of inanimate subject matter, most typically a small grouping of objects.” Still life photography, more so than other types of photography, gives the photographer more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition. Still life photography is a demanding art, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with compositional skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them. Bring your Entries on the night – 2 Prints and 2 PI’s.
