The image should go beyond the ‘literal representation’ of a scene or subject .  A simple conversion of a colour image to a monochrome would not necessarily result in an artistic image. The photographer will use sub jects\, elements and techniques as a vehicle in the process of conveying their feelings and vision to reveal an original\, creative and individu al expression.DefinitionCAPA further defines artistic as “an image pr oduced with the intention to portray a creative vision based primarily on an aesthetic and emotional thrust.”For the purpose of the competit ion\, images should fit into one of the following four themes:Abstract does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of tangible obje cts or people\, where colour and form make up the subject of the images.   Examples include – double exposure blurred images\, intentional camera movement\, distorted image\, lines & shapes\, panned image and smo ke/fire created image.Altered Reality – using photographic elements t o create a realistic or unrealistic fictional image. Ideally\, the inten tion is to create an image that conveys a message or tells a story.Crea tive – image is one that was specifically created using props or ampl ification of elements not normally viewed by the human eye such as: dra matically lit subject (portraits\, still life or landscape)\, long-exposu res\, water & oil and high-speed water drops. It also includes light pai nting and low-key image created in camera or post processing.Smartphone /tablet – image(s) captured on a smartphone/tablet and have sign ificant ‘artistic’ changes to the image using one or more mobile de vice applications or other post processing application.  External lens attached to a smartphone or tablet are permitted.\n URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/C_126 UID:C_126@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210924T121012 DTSTART:20220123T235500 DTEND:20220123T235500 SUMMARY:Entry Deadline - Monochrome- URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/CD_127 UID:CE_127@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210924T121012 DTSTART:20220125T120000 DTEND:20220125T120000 SUMMARY:Judging - Monochrome- URL:https://www.raphotoclub.ca/competitiontopics/CJ_127 UID:CJ_127@raphotoclub.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210924T121012 DTSTART:20220208T193000T193000 DTEND:20220208T193000T213000 SUMMARY:Results-Monochrome- DESCRIPTION:We are using the CAPA definition of Monochrome so that winning images c an be entered as Club entries in the respective CAPA competition.\n For this competition\, CAPA is using the definition of Monochrome a s defined by the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique s (FIAP) and is as follows:A black and white work fitting from the ve ry dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome wor k with the various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirel y in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category. On the other hand a black and white work mod ified by a partial toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a co lour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category.DefinitionGiven the above definition CAPA considers a sepia image to be a monochrome im age. A ‘duo-toned’ image is not considered a monochrome image for t he purposes of the competition.CAPA has described the following themes in this competition\, which effectively means there are no restrictions regarding subject matter:Portrait (will primarily contain the likeness of a person(s) in which the facial expression is predominant but can be extended to include the entire body and the background)Landscape (can include people\, buildings\, etc…)Man-made Structures/Objects (includes cityscapes\, buildings\, transportation\, still life\, table top photograp hy\, etc…)Flowers/Plants (wild or cultivated – ‘hand-of-man- is pe rmitted)Animals/Birds/Insects (wild or domesticated – ‘hand-of-man is permitted)Hand-of-man is permitted in all themes. Infrared images are permitted in this competition.
