2012 Show Categories

PEI National Park: Celebrating the 75th anniversary of PEI National Park. Any image created in PEI National Park, which extends from Cavendish to North Rustico, Brackley to Dalvay and covers the Greenwich peninsula and Blooming Point. Green Gables Heritage Place and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site are both part of PEI National Park and photos taken at these locations can be included in this category.
Nature: This one's pretty self explanatory. Anything nature - birds, bees, fish, bugs, flowers, mountains, trees, rivers, etc. Same as the other years.
Reflections: Reflections can be pretty, and artistic, and scenic. Photograph some. Show us the results.
Before and/or After: This category might be an interesting way for people to share two related photographs and post them in the same category. This category is an opportunity for the photographer to do a series of two photographs and place them next to each other in the same category. That being said, it's not required for a person to enter two photographs. I really want to allow people to use their own imaginations and apply their own interpretations to the category (and to the other categories as well). If you want to enter a single picture that you think embodies "Before", or likewise a single picture that embodies "After", then please do so. If you wish to enter a single photograph that contains both before and after, then please do so. You may accomplish this using photo editing techniques if you wish.
Travel: Anything related to travel. Perhaps you've been to other countries and would like to show off your travel photos. Cityscapes of the world, famous landmarks, wonderful landscapes. Perhaps you collect cars, and want to show them off. Or maybe you are a fan of other vehicles that can be used to travel - boats, planes, trains, unicycles, and want to share some pictures.
Lines: Anything containing, or related to, lines. Lines in the sand. Lines on the road. Lines in a face. Lines at the department of motor vehicles. Take a picture of it and share it with us.
Abstract: Blobs, shapes, patterns, mysterious macros, tricks of the light. Anything out of the ordinary goes. This is an opportunity to take pictures that you normally would not take, to use your gear in ways it normally would not be used. If anyone is having trouble coming up with ideas, they could look at some websites such as this, or even just go a google image search for "abstract photography".
Yellow: The same deal as the last couple of year's color themes. This category is for any photographs that are predominately yellow. This should be a nice, relaxing corner of the room.
Photographer's Choice: The catch-all category for any photographs you just really, really want to show off, but don't have anywhere else to place them.
