Hi All,

Our summer theme is: Summer Activities 

Family Reunions, Fairs, Fireworks, Parades and Rodeos

This theme offers something for everyone! While you’re out capturing the best our summer has to offer, why not consider thinking about a particular point of view, such as ‘bird’s eye’ or ‘worm’s eye’. These shooting experiences are also likely perfect for upcoming CAPA competitions: Fine Art and/or Photo Journalism. I’ve included the definitions for each.

CAPA Fine Art

The goal of fine art photography is in creating a fine art image is to use subjects 

and techniques as vehicles in the process of conveying a strong message, idea, 

vision and/or emotion.

 

The artist may need to make the viewer think about what they are looking at and 

consider a different viewpoint than their own perhaps.

CAPA Photo Journalism

Photojournalism relies on an image that tells a story or documents people affected 

by an event or a situation.

 

The image should clearly make one point or convey a message. 

Good composition would greatly enhance the conveying of the story.

 

Please don’t worry about the details of how to name, size and submit your images at this point; I’ll be in touch later on in the summer with those details, just go out and have fun!

Here are a few images to whet your appetite for this theme.

Have a great summer!
