Nature Reflection Whether you interpret it literally or metaphorically, we’re looking for your interpretation of a single word: reflection. No reflections in a mirror, a window, sunglasses, etc. because this is a Nature clinic. Samples More samples Trees Show your view of trees in nature…no trees planted by man. Samples Wildflowers and/or Birds Photos where the main subject is of wildflowers and/or birds. Flowers can not be planted by man. Your best bird shots must be in nature….no caged birds or from a zoo! Samples General Sports You best photo of sports. Cycling, hockey, baseball, swimming, saliboating….the options are limitless. Secret Saskatoon Do you have an image of a Saskatoon landmark, building interior, famous resident or location nobody seems to photograph? We are looking for a unique interpretation of Saskatoon and its secret treasures. Night Photography Photographs taken outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours in order to give the film or digital sensor enough time to capture a usable image. We want your best shots of architecture, planets, stars, city lights/skylines, fireworks, thunderstorms, amusement rides, nightlife, etc. Painting with light is acceptable only in the Altered Reality category.
