Set Subjects for the remainder of 2024 and 2025

Set subjects have been set as follows.

Closes July 2024/September 2024

STREET/STREET PHOTOGRAPHY: Is a non-formalized genre of photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions and other associated settings. Images can often be ironic or emotionally detached from subject matter, focusing instead on a particular context or detail. Framing and timing are key aspects of the craft, with the aim of creating images at a decisive or poignant moment. 

Closes September 2024/November 2024

ANIMALS/PETS: Images of household pets (water, air & land based both warm blooded & cold blooded) and includes agricultural and zoo animals.

Closes November 2024/January 2025

BACK LIGHT/BACK LIGHTING: Is an image in which the main source of illumination comes from behind the subject as opposed to the front or sides. Such lighting does not preclude the use of other secondary light sources from the camera- side of the subject. Backlit can include Rim Lighting – the effect usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes.

Closes January 2025/March 2025

MARKETS/MARKET SCENE: Any view taken in or at a market.

Closes March 2025/May 2025

NATURE: Species of undomesticated fauna and uncultivated flora; weather events, geological features, wild land and natural water forms. Artistic camera techniques may be used. Post-production techniques may be used but where it creatively alters appearances then enter the images into open competitions. Undomesticated fauna in an Open Zoo is permissible, however any appearance of captivation by man is to be kept to a minimum, i.e. the animal appears in an open free environment.

Closes May 2025/July 2025

RAINY DAY/RAINY NIGHT: An outdoor or indoor shot in which it is or has just been raining.
