LTPC meeting on Wednesday October 2nd, 7pm virtually. Register for the event to join via Zoom, being sure to select the date of this club competition meeting.
This is a monthly competition held for Lone Tree Photography Club members. Lone Tree Photography Club Meetup membership alone does not also constitute Lone Tree Photography Club membership; they are 2 separate memberships with separate privileges. LTPC membership dues are only $25 annually and can be completed online at Join the Club. LTPC non-members may attend and vote on images but may not submit images into the competition.
This month’s topic is Light Painting or Macro.
Light painting can be defined as the manual movement of light through space, over time, during a long exposure photograph. Such as painting subject, line/lightbar drawings/pattern in a photo.

Macro photography involves taking pictures of your subject very close up at a life-size 1:1 ratio. This can highlight specific details of an object or capture a subject that is too small for our eyes to appreciate. Resources: Photography Life: macro photography tutorial.
Members may submit images related to either genre of photography. We encourage (but don’t require) images taken in the last two years and do ask you not to re-submit any image that was awarded any place in a prior competition. Any images submitted not relating to the competition topic will be moved to non competing. Members must be present at the competition meeting to enter. Exception is given for members to enter 2 competitions a calendar year in their absence due to vacations and work conflicts.
This month’s judge is professional photographer Russell Klimas. Our judge critiques every image submitted in the competition and awards a ribbon in every category. Ribbons will also be awarded for 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and honorable mention in each category by member vote. If you would only like to have your images critiqued, please enter your images in the Non Competing category.
To enter your images (4 maximum, only 2 in any specific category) use the Image Submission Form, and choose submission for the LTPC Competition. If you do not receive a confirmation email please contact the LTPC Competition Coordinator. Make sure none of your images have identifying text such as a watermark. All entries are due by midnight, Sunday September 29th. For for rules and further instruction, refer to the competition guidelines and submission standards. There are no longer image size restrictions on digital entries. However, please note that depending on your network bandwidth, larger files may take longer to upload. Also note that images will be reduced to optimal screen quality (no more than 800px wide or 600px high at 72dpi) before they are posted to LTPC websites / social media.
