For your convenience here is a link to CAPA’s definition: https://capacan ada.ca/2020-nature-la-nature/. It is also important to note that there are strict limitations regarding the ‘hand of man’ and regarding ed iting techniques and modifications in the Nature and Wildlife category. Please use the handy CAPA Nature Chart to ensure you meet all the crit eria regarding what is allowed versus not allowed. If you do want to us e any “not allowed” techniques or modifications you may enter your image in the RAPC General category and it will not be considered for th e CAPA “Club” level Nature and Wildlife competition.Definitions:Bot anical – subjects such as wild flowers\, plants\, trees\, fungi and alga e. Germinated and grown without human assistance. No ‘hand-of-man’ can be present in the image.Insects\, Reptiles & Amphibians – such as: ants\, bees\, beetles\, butterflies\, crickets\, dragonflies\, hornets\, mant is\, mosquitoes\, wasps\, alligator\, snake\, crocodile\, gecko\, iguana\, liza rd\, turtle.

No h and of man.Wildlife – ONLY living and untamed wildlife mammals\, birds \, insects\, reptiles and marine subjects. No traditional zoo\, open-range zoos\, game farms or other areas where animals/birds are enclosed or co nfined.

Using water\, windows\, mirrors or any sort of reflective surface can change an image into a work of art. The wonde rful thing about using reflections when taking photos is that they can completely alter the image from something fairly straightforward to som ething richer or abstract or otherwise more artistic.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~** NOTE / BONUS: Sm artphone Competition: Although we are not doing a formal “smartphone competition\, the CAPA competition closing on November 30\, 2020 is Smartphone” photography. If you submit images in the Nature or Refle ctions competitions that you happened to take with a smartphone (iPhone \, Android phone or tablet)\, when you upload your image(s) to the RAPC C ompetition\, please put a title on your image and put “-SP” in the t itle so that the Competitions Committee will be able to identify it as an image taken with a smartphone. If you normally don’t title your im ages you don’t have to get fancy\, for example\, your title can be “B ird-SP” or “Puddle-SP” or “Reflection-SP”\, whatever you like as long as “-SP” is in the title. Only put “-SP” if your image was taken with a smartphone. Images entered into Nature or Reflections competitions do not need to be taken with a smartphone. We are just add ing this extra tag for any images that were taken with a smartphone so they may be considered for the CAPA “Club” level Smartphone competi tion.External devices attached to a smartphone or tablet are NOT permit ted\, such as DxO One digital connected camera or similar devices.

Therefore\, you can enter: 1 image in Creative\, 1 in Fine Art\, 1 in General. OR\, 2 in Creative and 1 in General. OR\, 2 in Fine Art and 1 in General. The RAPC is adopting the CAPA definitions for these themes. For your convenienc e here is a link to CAPA’s definitions and rules for: Fine Art and Cr eative. Each page also contains sample images of the theme\, which can b e very helpful and inspiring.Definition Fine Art: Using photography as a medium to bring something to life that only lives in the artist’s m ind. A portrait\, landscape\, still-life\, nature\, wildlife or photo journ alism image must have significant artistic changes for it to be accepte d into this competition. To be considered for the CAPA “Club” level Fine Art competition\, your image must fit into either a monochrome / i nfrared or colour category: • Monochrome/Infrared – A sepia imag e is considered a monochrome image. A ‘duo-toned’ image is not cons idered a monochrome image for the purposes of this competition. • Colour – An image containing all colour elements or only a few elemen ts having colour.Definition Creative: This involves the manipulation of a photograph both in-camera and post processing\, for artistic purposes to create a fictional or conceptual image or photographic art. Any sub ject is acceptable provided that the original captured image is the wor k of the photographer and the photographer must have taken all componen ts of the final image. Images may not be constructed entirely within a computer. To be considered for the CAPA “Club” level Creative compe tition\, your image must fall into one of these themes: • Abstract – does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of reality and where colour and form make up the subject of the images rather than it representing tangible objects or people. Examples are – bokeh\, double exposure\, blurred image\, intentional camera movement\, panning\, pattern s\, light painting\, lines\, macro image\, oil & water\, high-speed water dr ops\, shapes\, simplicity\, spinning\, smoke\, texture\, etc. • Altered Reality – using real-world environment and elements to create a reali stic or unrealistic fictional image. Ideally\, the intention is to creat e an image that conveys a message or tells a story. • Creative – conveys a mood\, a feeling\, a beautiful arrangement of elements. This c ould be expressive and can be aesthetically pleasing or promotes an emo tional response to shapes\, lines and colours. Image should go beyond a pictorial rendering of a scene.\n URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/C_118 UID:C_118@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200919T121005 DTSTART:20210117T235500 DTEND:20210117T235500 SUMMARY:Entry Deadline - Monochrome- URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/CD_119 UID:CE_119@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200919T121005 DTSTART:20210124T235500 DTEND:20210124T235500 SUMMARY:Judging - Monochrome- URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/CJ_119 UID:CJ_119@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200919T121005 DTSTART:20210126T193000T193000 DTEND:20210126T193000T213000 SUMMARY:Results-Monochrome- DESCRIPTION:The RAPC is adopting the CAPA definition for Monochrome: A black and wh ite work ranging from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochro me work able to stand in the black and white category. On the other han d\, a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the additi on of one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the col our category. A sepia image is considered a monochrome image. A ‘duo- toned’ image is not considered a monochrome image for the purposes of this competition.
