This Month's Point & Shoot Competition- "Not Exactly a Tree." What does that mean? Well, I find myself taking a lot of direct, literal photographs of trees for both my work and interests. So for this competition, I want to see any and every other way you could approach the subject (or even concept or word) of a "tree." Abstract it, find a strange new angle, use a tree to creatively modify or frame some other subject, give me a coat tree, your office phone tree, whatever. Anything but a direct photo of a tree. There's room for all kinds of interpretations!
Rules are the same as last month:
Always have fun!
Cameras:
ALL CAMERA BRANDS ARE ALLOWED.
Camera should be compact, and let's say fit in a pocket of some garment you own or have owned at some time, and some pockets are bigger than others! I'm not getting out a tape measure...
Digital cameras with sensors smaller than or equal to 1" are allowed. However, for interchangeable lens cameras, no "adopted" lenses are allowed.
All non-interchangeable lens cameras regardless of the sensor size and medium (digital or film) are allowed.
Interchangeable lens cameras with sensors larger than 1" are not allowed regardless of the size.
Mobile phones, tablets and any 110 film cameras are allowed regardless of the size.
Entries will close on May 31, 2020 midnight PDT.
Maximum image dimensions are 1024x768 (ish) pixels.
List camera brand and model with entry for all to see, and exposure data would be nice.
No restrictions on when the entries were taken.
Contest winner determines the rules, selects theme, sets closing date and judges the next competition.
Enter up to three images, however you may change your entries as many times as you like up to the contest closing date/time.
Most of all, have a good time with it!
I'll post some examples of my own soon- posting this as I cram in some breakfast before running out the door as I'm in the middle of a three-day marathon of guiding another photographer/filmmaker around one of my local wilderness areas for the purpose of documenting some special trees. Can you tell I like trees?
