Submission: One-two images per challenge photographed within the last month of the challenge meetup date.

Title Your Photos: Titling images helps viewers see your images in a specific or particular way. It also adds some context to your images by trying to get an understanding of intent, from the viewer, or maybe even a reaction. It also gives us a little insight about you, the photographer, please add your initials to the end of your title.
Here's an example: If your photo title is Spring Harmony, then the name of your file will be: spring-harmony_kd.jpg
E-Mail Submission: When you have completed the photo challenge please attach your photos to an E-Mail addressed to [email protected]. If your photos have a large file size, please submit an E-Mail for each challenge.
Challenge 1
May Photo Walk:
Take a walk wherever you like - this can be around the inside of your home, your yard, your neighborhood, village, town, or city. It can be inside a local market, a shopping center, a local park or beach, or through a nature center. Wherever you feel like exploring will be great! While you are on your photo walk, take photos of what you see, what catches your interest, the little details and the larger overview. Take a variety of photos of different subjects and just capture the world around you on your walk. Then collage at least 5 different photos on your layout.
I used the free version of www.photocollage.com/Photocollage for the attached example, mainly because it is super simple to use. Check out the templates available in your chosen program to get an idea of layouts available and get the creative juices flowing. The only weirdness was saving. Go under Collage and choose either SD or HD and save as a .jpg there (it will go to your download folder).
Canva can be used (it has a lot more layers of menus, if the link is not working search in Canva under Photo Collage Templates).
Feel free to use any collaging program you are familiar with!

Challenge 2: Capturing the Interesting (This will be the on-going theme for fall photo show)
Take photos of subjects or scenes that personally interest you, focusing on what you find intriguing, emotive, or visually stimulating. Try to capture the essence of what makes these subjects interesting to you, whether it be through composition, lighting, perspective, or emotional resonance. Some ideas to get you started:
Show us one or two in Colour or Black and White.
Personal Challenge for all photos:
Evaluate your own photos and consider what you might want to change in future shots. Some things you may want to ask yourself:
How effectively do you feel the photo captures the interesting aspects of the subject? Is the composition well-balanced, leading the viewer's eye to the focal point of interest? Does it utilize techniques such as leading lines, framing, or symmetry to enhance visual appeal? Does the photo evoke the intended emotions or convey a particular atmosphere? How successfully does it communicate your personal connection to the subject? Is the photo technically well-executed, with appropriate exposure, focus, and sharpness? Are there any distracting elements or technical flaws? Does the photo offer a unique or innovative perspective on the subject? Does it demonstrate creative use of techniques or unconventional approaches to photography?
