TRANSCRIPT
CLINIC TOPICS * Nature Clinics
1. Wildflowers and /or Birds * Sept 20th Photos where the main subject is of wildflowers and/or birds. Flowers cannot be planted by man. Your best bird shots must be in nature....no caged birds or from a zoo!
2. Sports Oct 18th
Your best photo of sports. Cycling, hockey, baseball, swimming, sail boating….the options are limitless. 3. Trees * Nov 22nd Show your view of trees in nature…no trees planted by man. 4. Secret Saskatoon Dec 13th 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. 5. Reflections * Jan 24th Whether you interpret it literally or metaphorically. We're looking for your interpretation of a single word: reflections. No reflections in a mirror, a window, sunglasses, etc. because this is a Nature clinic. 6. Night Photography Feb 21st Photographs taken 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. * Nature Photography: There must be no evidence of human activity (roads, fences, buildings, power lines, jet streams, stumps, domestic animals, cultivated plants etc.)
