I have chosen conte jour, or photographing against the light, as the subject for next year’s Fillingham Trophy competition. The art of contre jour is a photographic technique so is not specific to any one category of photography such as landscape, wedding, sport, natural history or portraiture. It means that all photographers, regardless of their particular interests, can enter with an equal chance of winning.
The rules are simple; as in other competitions up to three digital images of the size specified in the programme, can be entered. The pictures must be taken between the date of the annual general meeting which took place on Thursday November 12 2009 and the closing date next May. The competition will be judged in June. The precise dates will be published in the 2010 programme available from our first meeting in January.
There is one change from past years. As the one who chose the subject I will personally judge the competition instead of inviting a judge from another club to do so.
I will be looking for top class photographic technique and, equally, artistic interpretation.
David Trout, president elect.
