TRADERS CUP TROPHY
|
Dear MCC members,
You are cordially invited to join the next Gemboree competition in March 2022. Last season 172 images were submitted by 25 members, and we anticipate continued growth for Gemboree 2022.
Here are the Gemboree 2022 themes:
The plural form is allowed for any singular subject. For example, in theme G1–Bicycle, images with one or more bicycles are eligible.
A word about theme G3–Long-Exposure. The intent is for you to explore your camera’s creative capability to capture a scene with both stationary and moving elements. Depending on your exposure time relative to your subject’s speed through the frame, interesting blurring or hiding effects can be achieved. Here are a few ways to increase your camera’s useable exposure times:
A tripod is recommended, but not mandatory. There are many books, videos, and forums with helpful tips for long exposures. Here is a link you may find helpful: https://photzy.com/7-creative-effects-can-achieve-slow-shutter-speed/
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Images will be presented with their titles, so try to think of a phrase that complements your photographic message. The standard MCC image dimensions of 3840 x 2160 pixels (width x height) will be used.
Good luck and have fun shooting!
