The incoming committee have reflected on the feedback during the year on what members would like and indeed received good specific suggestions from members. This year will see 3 Colour Prints, 2 Mono Prints, and 2 Projected Image competitions.
As normal, entries are to submitted on the last Thursday of each month. Mounts must be on the 20x16 boards. In terms of Projected Images, we are proposing to discontinue accepting slides. The reasons for this are:
- Slides are no longer a format used by the IPF.
- Only one entry last year (though a good one and a winner)
- Slide projector is a bit dicky.

Nature |

Nature photography depicts living, untamed animals and uncultivated plants in a natural habitat, geology and the wide diversity of natural phenomena, from insects to icebergs. Photographs of animals which are domesticated, caged or under any form of restraint, as well as photographs of cultivated plants are ineligible. Minimal evidence of humans is acceptable for nature subjects, such as barn owls or storks adapting to an environment modified by humans, or natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves, reclaiming it. |

Long exposures can often create very dramatic effects. Use a longer than normal exposure to create the impact of your image. For inspiration see: http://www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=1226 |
