Photo Categories
Discover the themes our club members love to explore.
Nature and Landscape
The Nature and Landscape category celebrates the beauty of the outdoors. Photographers capture mountains, forests, sunsets, and wildlife in their natural environments. This theme encourages members to showcase their technical skills with lighting and composition while conveying the majesty of our planet. Macro shots of plants and insects are welcome too. All entries should avoid digital manipulation beyond basic color correction to preserve authenticity and balance.
People and Portraits
This category focuses on the human experience – emotion, expression, and connection. Portrait photography allows members to experiment with lighting, posing, and depth of field to tell a personal story through a single frame. Candid moments, studio shots, and creative self-portraits are all encouraged. Photographers should seek to reveal authenticity and character while respecting their subjects and obtaining permission for each image.
Architecture and Urban Scenes
The Architecture and Urban Scenes category invites photographers to explore man-made structures and city life. Members can submit images of historic buildings, modern skylines, or abstract details found in everyday spaces. Look for patterns, lines, and textures that create visual interest. Night photography and long exposures are welcome to highlight the energy of urban environments while demonstrating technical skill in low-light conditions.
