These are the timescales for submission of photographs for internal and external, competitions and exhibitions. In addition, there may be outings and other events you need to keep in mind !
| Date 30th June |
The Theme is "Against The Light"; also known as "Contre-jour".
To quote Wikipedia: "Contre-jour, French for 'against daylight', refers to photographs taken when the camera is pointing directly toward the source of light. An alternative term is backlighting. Contre-jour produces backlighting of the subject. This effect usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes. The sun, or other light source, is often seen as either a bright spot or as a strong glare behind the subject. Fill light may be used to illuminate the side of the subject facing toward the camera." |

| For Camera Clubs: | Digital SLR User Magazine
supports Camera Clubs through out Britain by providing an
information forum, and by running competitions.
Croydon Camera Club
has its own section on their web site.
Although Croydon Camera Club has participated in the opening rounds of the competitions, to go further, everyone needs to participate. So have a look! Note that the magazine is aimed at users of "SLR Cameras" and for "digital" images only. The EXIF data are displayed on the competition web pages. The Battle Of The Clubs competitions have a set theme for each month, and the results are printed in Digital SLR User Magazine a few months later. In the June 2009 issue, Croydon Camera Club featured prominently as we did very well (page 113). |
| What is Proposed: |
That Croydon Camera Club enters the competitions regularly: See what the current theme is, and send your digital images to the club organiser. The best images will be selected, and submitted to the magazine. Note the submission dates; the club will need your digital images a week earlier to get everything organised properly. If you wish to join in, here are the SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS. |
