Competition with Judge Rosalie O’Donnell – Theme: “Creative Altered Reality”
March 21, 2023 @ 7:15 pm – 9:30 pm
Competition Theme: “Creative Altered Reality” within the past three (3) years
Creative Altered Reality:
Your image may be of any subject matter and must obviously display a change in the natural order of things whether by color, form, shape or any combination of these three. All images must be original and may not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. Artwork or computer graphics generated by you may be incorporated if the original photographic content predominates. Images may not be constructed entirely within a computer. Hi-key, low-key, or High Dynamic Range (HDR) images without further changes are not considered.
The adjustments you make to an image should result in an “altered reality” and not simply the removal, adjustment, or replacement of an element. You should be able to see immediately that the photograph has been creatively manipulated.
In-camera techniques can be employed and you can play with the myriad programs and plugins, tools and techniques that are available to digital photographers and this competition will be the one place where anything goes as long as it is your original work. Some examples might involve painting filters, distortion, abstracting your image, applying a creative filter, mirroring, compositing, etc., etc. Get creative!
