3rd Arctic Exhibition 2013
Three digital sections: Snow and Ice (ND), Open color (PID color) & open monochrome (PID monochrome)
Monochrome definition
- FIAP
- A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black)
to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various
shades of grey. A black & white work toned entirely in a single colour
will remain a monocrome work able to stand in the black & white
category; such a work may be reproduced in black and white in the
catalogue.On the other hand a black and white work modified by partial
toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour work (polycrome)
to stand in the colour category.
- PSA
- A monochrome print is defined as having no more than one colour, but
may be one single colour.
Nature definition
- PSA
- Nature photography is restricted to the use of the
photographic process to depict observations from all branches
of natural history, except anthropology and archeology, in
such a fashion that a well informed person will be able to
identify the subject material and to certify as to its honest
presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be
weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining
high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present,
except where those human elements enhance the nature
story. The presence of scientific bands, scientific tags or radio
collars on wild animals is permissible. Photographs of
artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted
specimens, or obviously set arrangements, are ineligible, as is
any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the
photographic statement. No techniques that add to, relocate,
replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are
permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the
photograph without changing the nature story or the
pictorial content are permitted. All adjustments must appear
natural. Color images may be converted to grayscale
monochrome. Infrared images are not allowed.
