What I Did On My Summer Vacation (September)

All you need to do is bring some prints or digital images of what you did during your summer vacation (or staycation) and we can talk and mingle and share stories. It's our welcoming to the new season and gives the old and the new members a chance to meet and mingle during a relaxed evening. No judges, no image shows, no pressure.

Competitions are usually held on the third Wednesday of each month and are judged by experienced photographers from Syracuse and Kodak Ambassadors from Rochester. For competition rules, see the competition page.

Entries in all competitions can be of any subject, except for competitions in January, March, and June, those competitions have assigned topics as noted.

Assigned Topics:

Sunrise/Sunset (January 19) - Images depicting the rise or descent of the sun just above or below the horizon. Images must be taken within a half-hour of the sunrise or sunset.

Backlit/Silhouettes (March 16) - Images with a light source behind an opaque object creating a silhouette of the object rendering the interior of the object blacked-out and featureless.

Fall/Autumn (June 1) - Images depicting the holidays and the transition from summer into winter typically starting in September to the end of November. Holidays include Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Image shows when scheduled, usually take place on the last Wednesday of the month.
