It’s that time of year and you’ll have to submit your best nature shot by November 4th. The rules have changed slightly for this year, there are 8 images per club, one per photographer. Here is a link to the rules or click on the owl. The categories are:
Look through your shots and be certain there is no ‘hand of man’ in the image. An assignment is set up in our member database.
Quick Note: I spoke with a fellow who has done a lot of judging for some comments. He said that when he has several hundred shots to look at and it’s a limited time period, there really isn’t time to study the shots. Within a second or two he has to make a decision so the image has to have impact, sharpness and clarity of purpose to get any extra consideration.
