Online Exhibition – “Freedom”

Updated: Due to continued limitations on social gatherings, this Exhibition is an additional Online Exhibition for July.

Exhibition Brief – Freedom

Exhibition entries for this theme will revolve around the word Freedom which is defined by “the power or condition of acting without compulsion. Freedom has a broad range of application, from the total absence of restraint to merely a sense of not being unduly hampered or frustrated”.
In this case, it has been selected as a theme to relate to the feelings that associate to the partial lifting of lockdown measures. Your photos should show the joy or the fear of living through these changes or scenes of how you, society or communities are now reacting to a new “FREEDOM”.

Rules

Photos must be your work
No restriction on when the photo was taken.
Photos can be colour, Black & White or any monochrome colour.
Photos must be at least 1800px on the longest edge and can be Landscape or Portrait formats.
Maximum of Two Images per Member.

Exhibition Night – “Silhouettes, Reflections, Shadows in Monochrome”

Plenty of scope with these topics. Choose any of the three, silhouettes, reflections or shadows, or a combination as long as your image is in monochrome. Monochrome is defined by using only black, white, and grey, or using only one colour:

A close-up photo of leaves or similar would be a good example of a natural green monochromatic photo that you can capture directly in-camera.
This means that, by definition, all black and white photos are monochrome, but not all monochrome is black and white.

- - A Silhouette is defined as a dark shape that appears against a light background or surface.
  - A Shadow is defined as an area of darkness, caused by light blocked by something or an object intercepting light from a light source.
  - A Reflection is defined as an image of something in a mirror or reflective surface.

APG Exhibition rules apply and we welcome the general public to come along and support as they vote for their favourite 3 entries, enjoy some finger food, ambient music with bar available and free admission.

IMPORTANT: Please note that due to updated COVID Measures, we are required to register ALL visitors in advance and control entries. Therefore, and to avoid disappointment, if you are intending to come along, please please send us an e-mail so that we can take your details in advance as we do have limited space although the main event will be held outdoors.

See you there!

Online Exhibition – “People/Person”

Updated: Due to National Health enforcements in place in March of this year, this Exhibition will now be an additional Online Exhibition for June.

Exhibition Brief – People/Person

Exhibition entries for this theme could be a posed portrait in a studio environment or candid street photography. It could be dramatic or thought-provoking, but above all, it must be “people” and should either tell a story or capture the mood or character of the subject.
The theme title indicates “People/Person” meaning that images may contain one or more person.

When taking your photos think about the following points:

Connect with eyes where possible
Consider the background and surroundings.
Does the lighting say what I want it to say for the subject and /or scene
Take care when posing your subject(s), try different things to help get the shot you are seeking.
Your choice of lens will also play a big part in getting the shot you want
Take your time and enjoy the experience.
