The Calgary Camera Club (CCC) will hold five digital photo competitions in each club year for the purpose of teaching photographic skills to members in manageable and measurable increments until they are effective and comfortable enough with photography as a medium of communication to convey a message, emotion or behavior utilizing their own creativity and unique perspectives.
This year our competitions are based on the speakers and workshops planned for the year.

Intimate landscapes include all landscapes without the inclusion of sky, mountains, hills, man-made objects, etc. The goal is to see and capture detailed landscapes through focal lengths of 24 mm or less (based on full frame measurements). The intent is to identify small scenes in nature and compose a shot using a wide-angle lens that showcases the intimate details. Monochrome, sepia, and colour are allowed. Composites are not allowed.

“Toy photography is taking photos with toys. In other words, the goal isn’t to take product shots of toys, but rather to use toys to create images that tell a larger story. Toys become the medium for art. The specific toys used by toy photographers are wide and varied.”

Let your imagination run wild and tell a captivating story using toys. The photo of the toys must be original photos from the photographer but other elements are allowed to be added through imaginative composites.
