A Note to Casual and Amateur Photographers
If you take pictures, you probably have a shot that tells a good story 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 old photos or take new pictures and submit your best shots. It’s a good way to improve your techniques, meet other photographers and have fun. You might even win a prize ! Most of the previous contest winners were not professionals.
A Note to Professional Photographers
The SMAC Photo Contest and Show is a great way to showcase your best work, try some new techniques, and get some additional exposure.
