Motion: Competition Date: December 17, 2024
This theme tasks us to display motion as the dominant subject of our images.  The motion could be of a person or persons, an animal or animals, a moving man-made object, water, or practically anything that is moving.  Let your creativity shine through! 

Self Portraits: Competition Date: February 18, 2025
As photographers, we always photograph behind the lens, except when we take a “selfie” with our cell phones. Creating self-portraits will move us out in front of our own lens, and beyond the selfie as we turn the camera around to develop our portraiture skills. 

No selfies for this theme! Selfies are described as simple photos that can be easily taken without a lot of planning. True portraits require preparation, planning and time. 

As you create your self-portrait, consider your location, lighting and composition that will capture a moment that portrays you. 

Remember, the photo needs to be taken by you, not someone else pushing the shutter, so get out those remotes, use your camera’s timer, say “cheese” and have fun!

Texture: Competition Date: April 15, 2025
Texture is described as the visual or tactile/touchable appearance of something. This theme challenges you to capture a photo with a clearly dominant subject that features texture that can be felt through the presentation of the image.
