The Assignment
The idea behind the assignment is for people to respond to a brief and present a panel of 10 images. To provide a short explanation of how you went about interpreting the brief, and the choice of images.
The idea is, rather than focusing getting marks from a judge from single images, but to develop peoples creative thinking and skills as photographers.
All images are to have been created after the start date of the assignment, the use of old images is NOT allowed. The idea is to get people out, taking new photographs not rummaging through their collections of old images.
Images can be made using cameras or scanners, Image manipulation using software such as Photoshop elements etc is allowed.
Images can be presented as prints ( no larger than A4 ) or as PDIs, this is intended to keep costs down. Prints can be mounted directly on card without the need for cutting mounts.
Time scale
Starts at the AGM with presentations of the panels at a Club evening from July onwards date to be finalised by mid February
The assignments are open to all Malden Camera Club members, members can enter as individuals or as a group entry. Members should let me know the details of the assignment they have chosen and whether its an individual or group entry.

After Dark. We don’t always think to take our cameras out at night. Try shooting after dark. If you’re in the country, you can shoot moonlight or star trails. In the city, you can shoot vehicles’ tail-light trails or downtown buildings. Wherever you are, you can try light-painting – using a long exposure, and moving a flashlight over parts of the scene.
