CLUB FOCUS

A ''nature photograph" is defined as one in which a natural subject is the main and dominant theme or focus of interest. Typically, nature photographs contain no or very little evidence of people or "man-made' objects. Photographs displayed at club meetings or in club sponsored exhibits or activities must reflect the club's focus of nature photography.

Each member may submit up to ten photographs to be displayed. We encourage you to display new material, photos which have never been shown before at the mall. Each member is assigned an identification number which is placed on each photograph. If you need one, let Beth know.

The display is to be manned at all times to comply with our contract with the Quinte Mall. A sign-up sheet will be available at the January meeting for you to pick a time to help out. It would really be appreciated for as many members as possible to help even if you do not have pictures in the show. There are a lot of spaces to be filled over a four day event.

WHO: Only members of Photo-Nat Photography Club may participate in the show.
