Monthly Photo Submission Requirements:
We have two categories, Theme & PSA. (Note that PSA i.e. Photographic Society of America, submission used to be our Open category).
A maximum of 2 images may be submitted each month, ONE theme and ONE PSA.
Editing may be done as desired and the only rule that applies is that if you create a composite image, all images used in the composite must have been taken by you. We also ask that, at the club meeting, members briefly explain editing techniques they used to help other members grow in their photographic journey.
