September Theme – Creating compelling composition with Lines and Curves
September Theme – Creating compelling composition with Lines and Curves
To build on Lynne Kelman’s desire to help us learn and develop as photographers, the club executive has decided to take a slightly different approach to our themes this year. Starting this month, with Curves and Lines, we will be combining our themes with the corresponding CAPA competitions.As well as enjoying each month’s theme, you can consider this as a great opportunity to challenge yourselves by following the CAPA criteria. I will always provide a link to this information. The only difference from the last few years is that our judge/judges will now choose the top 6 to go forward while still having ribbons for first, second and third; and as always lots of discussion but no scores.
The executive will revisit this new approach from time to time to ensure that it is working for everyone.
Here is the link to the CAPA website:https://capacanada.ca/2019-theme/
Have fun!Lynne and Scott
