Competition Definitions

April Competition  – Monochrome
Any photograph containing shades of only one colour. If toning is carried out, it must be over the total photograph – partial toning and/or the addition of one extra colour is not acceptable as a monochrome. A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category. (For example, by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)

October Competition – Negative Space
Negative space photography is related to minimalist photography. It emphasizes not just the subject but also the empty space around the subject. The viewer’s eyes may focus on a key subject but the large section of emptiness that surrounds the subject helps defines and emphasise that figure. The space is essential to the overall story of the image
