Monochrome
For this competition, we have five different themes.
An entrant can enter one or more images in any of the five themes. Both camera clubs or individual CAPA members must enter images in at least two themes.
Based on messages received, we have expanded the Animals/Birds theme to include (wild or domesticated)
Clarifications:
- If my image is not in the right theme will it be moved by the Competition Host into the right theme? The answer is No.
- Is a ‘sepia’ image permitted in this competition. The answer is Yes because sepia is a form of photographic toning – a tone which has been added to a black and white photographer to ‘warm’ up the tones. Sepia tones images are still considered a black and white image for our competition.
- Will my image be disqualified if it is deemed not to be in the right theme? The answer is Yes.
- Which theme would I enter a covered bridge in? The answer is Architecture theme.
- I am considering in submitting a monochrome photograph of an aircraft. If so, what theme could I submit under? The answer is – aircraft would not fit in any theme unless it could be included in a Landscape theme.
- If an image could possibly be in more than one theme – the primary focal point of the image should be used to determine what theme it should be in. If the situation is unclear then the entrant will be given the benefit of the doubt.
- This is not a ‘restricted editing criteria’ competition. Therefore, you do not need to have available the original RAW file or the original un-touched JPEG file.
This competition closes on January 30, 2019 and is being hosted by the Director of Competitions.
