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

You best photo of sports.  Cycling, hockey, baseball, swimming, saliboating….the options are limitless.

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.

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.

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

Include your best photos including wetland landscapes, plants, flora and wildlife.

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

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

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

Photos of performers in action. Musicians, actors, comedians, dancers, jugglers, magicians, etc.
