| Black and White 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 and white work toned entirely in a single color will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP ptronage. On the other hand, a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the additioof one color, becomes a color work (polychrome) to stand in the color category; such a work requires reprouction in color in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP patronage. Nature 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 pants 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. |
Monochrome A Monochrome print is defined as having no more than one color, but it may be any single color. Nature No technique that adds to, relocates, or removes pictorial elements except by cropping are allowed. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or pictorial content are permitted. The removal, or manipulation of colors contained within the original image, to enable the production of monochrome images is permitted. 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 it's honest presentation.The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality. Human elements shall not be present, except on the rare occasion where those human elements enhance the nature story. The presence of scientific bands on wild animals is acceptable. Photographs of artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens, or obvously set arrangements are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. Authentic wildlife is defined as one or more organisms living free and unrestrained in a natural or adopted habitat. Therefore photographs of zoo or game farm animals are not eligible for the PSA Silver Wildlife Medal. Photo Travel A Photo Travel print must express the feeing of a time and place, portray aland, it's people, or a culture in it's natural state, and has no geographical limitations.Ultra close-ups which lose their identity, studio type model shots, or photographic manipulations that misrepresent the true situation or alter the image are unacceptable in Photo Travel competition. No techniques that add to, relocate or remove any elements of the original image except by cropping are not permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the photograoh without changing the Photo Travel content are permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. The removal, or manipulation of colors contained within the original image to enable the production of monochrome images is permitted. |
