PSA.
Nature (PSA & FIAP Definitions)
MCPF Events Calendar 2014
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history,
except anthropology and archaeology, 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. Colour images may be converted to
grayscale monochrome. Infrared images are not allowed.
FIAP.
Nature photography depicts living, untamed animals and uncultivated plants in a natural habitat, geology and the wide diversity of
natural phenomena, from insects to icebergs. Photographs of animals which are domesticated, caged or under any form of restraint, as
well as photographs of cultivated plants are ineligible. Minimal evidence of humans is acceptable for nature subjects, such as barn owls
or storks adapting to an environment modified by humans, or natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves, reclaiming it.
The original image must have been taken by the photographer, whatever photographic medium is used. Any manipulation or
modification to the original image is limited to minor retouching of blemishes and must not alter the content of the original scene.
After satisfying the above requirements, every effort should be made to use the highest level of artistic skill in all nature photographs.
PSA.
Black & White (Monochrome) (PSA & FIAP Definitions)
A monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more than one color (various shades of that color from very light to
very dark) but it may be any single color. Multi-toned images (various shades of two or more colors) and greyscale images with an
added accent color are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and must be entered in Color Class sections.
FIAP.
A black and white image is one with tones from very dark grey (black) to very clear grey (white) A black and white image toned entirely
in a single colour will be able to stand in the black & white category and can be reproduced in black & white in the catalogue. On the
other hand a black and white image modified by partial toning or by the addition of one colour to a part of the image becomes a colour
image and should be entered in the colour category. This type of image will be reproduced in the colour pages of the catalogue.
Creative/Experimental
This category means different things to different people and therein lies the appeal for photographers who like to think outside the box.
For the purpose of this Salon, there are other labels which cover this genre which include Abstract, Altered Reality, Contemporary,
Creative, Surreal. The common thread is that this embraces a very diverse category of images made using an assortment of
techniques and with equally varied intentions.
All components of the image (which may include computer graphics) must have been created by the entrant (the inclusion of stock
images is not permitted), and the photographic content should predominate.
SPECIAL NOTES ON ENTRY FEES
The preferred method of payment is by PayPal using a credit or debit card or a PayPal account.
Prints will be returned ““Surface Mail”” ONLY where return postage has been received.
All correspondence and enquiries should be addressed to:

Leigh Preston's Photography
encompasses a variety of areas
within the modern photographic
scene, including tuition, image
processing and, of course,
actually taking photographs.
Leigh has a relatively specific
approach to what he chooses
to make pictures of, and relies
heavily
on
atmospherics,
dramatic lighting and strong
story lines to convey an
individual style.
Leigh holds two rPS Fellowships,
one for pictorial images taken
of the mill towns in Lancashire
and Yorkshire and the other
for Darkroom printing and
belongs to the arENa group
of photographers and is a
member of The London Salon.
Leigh has published many
books and has had a number of
one-man exhibitions in London,
Dublin, birmingham, reading,
Manchester, gloucester and
belfast.
Now semi-professional, his
work revolves around teaching
at college or on workshops and
at seminars all over the UK also
in the USa and Europe and
enjoys the chance to share his
experience and his passion for
photography. His website can

Chris has been actively involved
in club photography since
1979, and confesses to being a
“photo-holic”. a busy national
Pagb judge and popular

Chris has visited more than
190 different camera clubs,
and judged many regional,
national and international
exhibitions. He recently gained
his Fellowship of the royal
Photographic Society, serves on

workshops.
He holds a Distinction of the
Pagb and has received an
aPagb award for his services
to photography. Chris has had
success and gained awards
