Thursday evening at 7:00PM at the Severna Park Baptist Church is our monthly digital contest. Entries will be reviewed and critiqued by a judge. Top photographs earn ribbons and points toward club awards and recognition.
The theme is Abstract. This category should include images that are in some way altered from the usual way it is viewed. The photograph can concentrate on color, form, texture, pattern, line or other aspect of the object. The subject of the photograph may be an identifiable object, but should be rendered in a way that the identity of the object is secondary to aspects of form, color (or tone), lines, shapes, or texture. That is, the subject may be recognizable, but the photograph should not be representational. The distinction can be subtle and ultimately will reside with the judge.
The contest is open to both novice and unlimited paid club members. Club members may enter up to three digital images. Images need to be 2048 pixels maximum on the longest side. They should be jpg formatted. The deadline for submissions is noon on Tuesday before the contest. File naming conventions and formatting are detailed in the Contest Rules.
