For our fourth challenge this year the topic is “On The Spot” where members are challenged to make three photographs that are all different, but without moving from the one spot. The photos will be evaluated and discussed by the group of members present. Another opportunity to be creative and members should think hard about the spot they are going to select for the challenge.

NOTE: THE DATE FOR THE INTERCLUB HAS CHANGED. This year we host the annual three way friendly interclub between Lane Cove Creative, Mosman and Northside Creative. The topic for this year is “Shapes and Forms” Entrants are encouraged to think “outside the square” in preparing photos for the interclub.

For our third Challenge of the year, members submit up to three photographs that demonstrate their use of the advanced capture techniques covered in our June 13th Lecture and discussion.

Our second challenge for 2024. Members present a panel of up to three photos as either prints or projections that illustrate their interpretation of the challenge topic. “Symmetry” means one half of the image should closely match or mirror the other half. This can be achieved using mirrors, reflections in water and other techniques. Surprise us with something creative and different.

Our first challenge for 2024. Members present a panel of up to three photos as either prints or projections that illustrate their interpretation of the challenge topic. “After Dark” means after the sun has set, so get your creative juices flowing.

Our final challenge for the year builds on the lessons learned from our presentations throughout the year. For this challenge, create a series of photographs that make good use of back lighting, supported by fill light, if required.

This year the interclub is being hosted by Mosman, at The Mosman Rowers Club, 3 Centenary Drive Mosman Bay, starting at 7:00PM. This is our opportunity to present images on the set theme of “A Moment” with plenty of options for interpretation.

Create a series of landscape images that show some or all of the following: interesting subject matter, sound composition, good use of light, mood, visual depth and a feeling of presence.

This will be our second Challenge night of the year where our members get to test their creative skills in a new direction.

This challenge is not strictly a “scavenger hunt” in its truest sense and you can stage your shots as well as taking more observational ones. Members are encouraged to think beyond the record shot and what techniques or processing they can use to lend creativity to their images?

Select up to five prompts from the list below and submit images for comment (prints or digitals). Digitals will be due by Tuesday evening, 6th June and should include the prompt along with your own name in the filename. You can submit up to 5 images in total, they can be 5 images on the one theme or a mixture of themes to make up the 5 submissions. Get thinking and show us your creative skills!

Portrait photography or portraiture in photography is a photograph of a person or group of people that captures the personality of the subject by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. A portrait picture might be artistic, or it might be clinical, as part of a medical study. Hanna Saba will return to evaluate the session via Zoom.

Bring up to three (3) digital images for review.

In this challenge, you need to look for mysterious and unusual items. Abstract Photos should challenge the mind and inspire wonder and conversation on what was actually shot and seen by different people. So keep a keen eye and find your best inspirations to share in this challenge!

Bring up to six (6) images - print or digital for review.
