Instructions for Feb-March photos

Our photo project consists of capturing subjects that can fit on a 3x5 index card.

• the subject must fit within the boundaries of the card but the card does not have to be in the photo, it only serves as a template for the size
• examples: figurines, jewelry, trinkets, cupcakes, hardware, marbles
• the subject matter may be any height
• work to accentuate the shape, size, colors
• remember that the general rules of composition apply to all photos, large or small!
• have fun
• there will be an award for the most creative entry

To enter the contest you must submit four photos:

1. A Jack-O-Lantern
2. Fall leaves
3. Hay
4. A photo taken at 7:22pm - we can tell when you upload to flickr : )

Details on voting will be covered at the meeting.

Also, we will plan our trip to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville.
