Definitions of competition topics:
If you are not sure whether the photo you wish to enter into any competition will meet the topic definition, feel free to ask the scorekeeper@easternmainecameraclub.org before submitting your entry.
Open: Any subject matter in good taste is acceptable. (Back to Top)
Nature: Images submitted in the nature category should not show any evidence of "the hand of man." This includes, but is not limited to, such things as cut grass, cultivated flowers, bird feeders, roads, buildings, or jet contrails in the sky. Exceptions are banded birds and animals whose natural habitat are man-made structures; e.g. barn swallows. (Back to Top)
In a Different Light: The light sources for most photos we take are either the sun or camera flash or some combination of the two. This topic requires that you use your camera to capture subjects illuminated by a completely different light. Examples are moonlight, light from a computer or TV screen, candle light, flashlight, or car headlights. One exception for using camera flash would be to make multiple exposures on a single frame to capture subjects in motion, such as you might get using a strobe. This MUST be done in-camera and NOT by any manipulation or filtering in post processing. (Back to Top)
Humor: Photos of any subject that convey a sense of humor. Maybe self explanatory, but here is a post by Peter West Carey that may help in creating humorous images.

Macro: Extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size. By the original definition, a macro photograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative or image sensor is life size or greater.
