Themed Challenge: Campus Life

Themed Challenge:

Campus Life

You’ve taken photos of the spectacular architecture on campus; you’ve also explored the cool winter sceneries around the university. But the campus does not feel alive without the people, interactions, and activities that happen in it.

For our third team-up with UNSW this year, this is exactly what we are looking for!

–

From the hustle and bustle in the morning hours to people enjoying peace in the tranquil spaces around the university, make sure to seize every opportunity and capture moments that show life on campus!

Prizes are plentiful!
1. $200 Georges Gift Card
2. $100 Georges Gift Card
3. Charing Cross Print
rewards also include shout-outs on UNSW’s Insta account!

Please add #UNSWPCCAMPUSLIFE to the description of your submission

Some Tips and Hints from Our Judges

1. A good and strong photograph usually does not need a title or caption to ‘tell’ us what’s going on. Think about what you want to convey – take into consideration the composition and framing of your photo.

2. Think about the various techniques you can use, such as playing with lighting or textures.

3. Think outside of the box. This month’s theme allows you to be creative and push the boundaries.

Only have a phone? No Problem!
We don’t care what device you use. Know its limitations and work within the confines.

About the UNSW PhotoClub Challenges

At PhotoClub we FOCUS on improving our members’ photography. Our challenges aim to do that by DEVELOPING your abilities. It’s also an opportunity to get some good EXPOSURE. And if that’s not incentive enough, we do have prizes for our winners. So why not take a SHOT for this month’s challenge?
