MONTHLY MEETING & CRITIQUES
The goal of this critique is to help you learn and grow as a photographer. We’ll cover topics like lighting, composition, exposure, and more. Your photo will be analyzed to give you insights into what works well and what could be improved.
The primary objective of this critique is to facilitate your learning and development as a photographer. Through this process, you will gain insights into various aspects such as lighting, composition, exposure, and subject selection. Your photograph will be evaluated to provide you with constructive feedback on both its strengths and areas that require improvement.
Critiques are currently structured on a numerical scale ranging from 4 to 10. A score of 6 indicates a more casual snapshot, while a score of 10 signifies an exceptionally well-crafted image that approaches perfection.

Print Image Presentation Rules
Just a friendly reminder that for award ribbons, we’ll only be accepting photos that are matted or flush-mounted on foam board. If your photo is dirty or bent, it might hurt your chances of getting a high score. Let’s make sure to present our work in the best possible light! Framed photos are no longer allowed because they could damage the other photos waiting to be judged and the frame itself. But don’t worry, digital-only images are still a great option, and the judge will still give them a critique. Keep in mind, only printed images can win award ribbons. |
