A Note to Casual and Amateur Photographers
If you are intimidated by competing with professionals or if you’re thinking that you have nothing to enter, consider this. If you take pictures, you probably have a shot that tells a good story, captures a moment, or stirs an emotion. Often great photographs are the result of detailed planning, great attention to composition, controlled lighting, and careful exposure. But sometimes a great photo happens because you were there at the right time and took the picture. So dig through your photos, take more pictures, and submit your best shots. It’s a good way to improve your photography, meet other photographers, and have fun. You might even win a prize.
A Note to Professional Photographers
The SMAC Photo Contest and Show is a great way to showcase your best work, try out some new techniques, and get some additional exposure (no pun intended) and recognition.
