2012-13 Clinic Topics
These are the topics for 2012-13. Topics for next year (2011-12) are here.
Nature
Big Sky
Pictures can be of anything, but the catch is that at least 60% of the photo has to be sky and the primary subject! Samples
Swamp, Marsh or Wetland
Include your best photos including wetland landscapes, plants, flora and wildlife.
Use of Negative Spaces
Negative space is the space around your subjects in your photographs. The space of nothingness in your photographs is just as important as the space that is taken up with your subject. Negative space provides balance in a photograph and also provides a place for your eyes to rest. Studying and including the negative space in your composition can help strengthen the composition and add more emphasis to your main subject. Samples
General
S Curve
Painters discovered that the inclusion of an s-shaped curve in their composition added a sense of movement to an otherwise static image. The s-shape is aesthetically pleasing and is capable of standing on its own in an image. Show us an image where the “S” curve serves as the primary focus of your image. Samples
Action, Speed, Motion
Photo of any subject in motion – no static or posed shots, please. Can be playing sports, walking along the street, or jumping up and down on a trampoline – whatever it is, your subject has to be moving. Samples
In Performance
Photos of performers in action. Musicians, actors, comedians, dancers, jugglers, magicians, etc.

2011-12 Clinic Topics
Nature
Reflection
Whether you interpret it literally or metaphorically, we’re looking for your interpretation of a single word: reflection. No reflections in a mirror, a window, sunglasses, etc. because this is a Nature clinic. Samples More samples
Trees
Show your view of trees in nature…no trees planted by man. Samples
Wildflowers and/or Birds
Photos where the main subject is of wildflowers and/or birds. Flowers can not be planted by man. Your best bird shots must be in nature….no caged birds or from a zoo! Samples
General
Sports
You best photo of sports. Cycling, hockey, baseball, swimming, saliboating….the options are limitless.
Secret Saskatoon
Do you have an image of a Saskatoon landmark, building interior, famous resident or location nobody seems to photograph? We are looking for a unique interpretation of Saskatoon and its secret treasures.
Night Photography
Photographs taken outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours in order to give the film or digital sensor enough time to capture a usable image. We want your best shots of architecture, planets, stars, city lights/skylines, fireworks, thunderstorms, amusement rides, nightlife, etc. Painting with light is acceptable only in the Altered Reality category.
