Photography
The beautiful land and life that makes up Madera Canyon is a photographer’s paradise. The FoMC has instituted a Photo of the Month (POM) section and an Instagram page. The Guidelines and Entry Instructions for the POM are listed below. Students must have parental or guardian approval.
Photos of the Month
Guidelines for POM Contributions
Photography – POM
- A photo must be taken within Madera Canyon
- Photos remain the property of the photographer, but by submitting them the photographer gives the FoMC a media release to use the photo in any of its printed publications or online accounts
- If a Photographer chooses to include people in her/his submission, s/he is responsible for obtaining the necessary releases from the individuals depicted and must be able to provide copies of those releases upon request.
- Submitted photos should be jpegs or HEIC of at least 500 pixels on the long side. Photos should have a title.
- When submitting a photo, do not exclude the EXIFS (see https://photographylife.com/what-is-exif-data)
- Photos will be displayed on Flickr with the title and the artist’s name.
- Photos can be edited in any manner; eg, not at all, simple crop, tone adjustments, HDR, composites, advanced editing with Photoshop or other software like Topaz. Elements of the photo may be removed, or replaced, or added. There are no limits on image postprocessing. Edit to your tastes.
- Any composite photo must have all elements taken by the same photographer, with the same camera, and within the time period of the POM. Honesty is assumed. No AI generated elements are permitted.
