Closing date: Wed 7 August 2013
Selection: Wed 21st & Thurs 22nd August 2013

This year there will be 3 categories:

1. In Camera (excluding Nature) PSA PID Division
2. Altered Reality (excluding Nature) PSA PID Division
3. Nature (Nature images should only be entered into the Nature category) PSA Nature Division

1. In Camera:
An ‘In Camera’ image is one that does not alter the truth of the subject:
A single image produced in camera with limited post camera processing.
Multiple in camera exposures on a single image are permitted but more than one image combined outside of the camera is not permitted.
Acceptable techniques post camera include - Adjusting in all or part of the image: levels, curves, brightness, contrast, colour balance, tone, straightening, removing blemishes, burning / dodging, cropping and conversion of colour images to monochrome.
All other post camera processing is not permitted. No moving, adding or removing any elements apart from eliminating minor blemishes such as dust marks. No post camera HDR, filters, or any other effects.
The Society reserves the right to view the original camera file and EXIF data.

2. Altered Reality:
An ‘Altered Reality’ image is one noticeably different from an image as viewed through the camera lens. The submitted image must have originated as image or images captured by media sensitive to light or other electromagnetic radiation. All elements of the image must have been captured or generated by the creator of the image. The use of third party images such as clip art is not allowed. All creative techniques including combined images and montages and HDR are acceptable.

3. Nature:
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well informed person will be able to identify the subject and to certify as to its honest presentation. The story-telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements enhance the nature story. The presence of scientific bands, tags or radio collars on wild animals is permissible. Photographs of artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens or obviously set arrangements are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. No techniques that add to, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content are permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. Colour images can be converted to monochrome.  Infrared images are not allowed.  The Society reserves the right to request a high resolution or raw image file for authentication.
Accurate, brief, titles identifying the subject are required for nature photographs. Do not use ‘cute titles’ as these will be marked down as a result.
