APOY 2012 Round One \u2013 Water in the landscape<\/h2>\n

\nWelcome to Amateur Photographer of the Year 2012 in association with Samsung<\/strong> and Jessops<\/strong>. To kick-start this year\u2019s competition we begin with a theme that will be close to many photographers\u2019 hearts – landscape photography. But we\u2019re not looking for any landscape images; this month\u2019s theme is specifically, \u2018Water in the landscape\u2019. This could be any body of water, including rivers, ponds, reservoirs, estuaries, streams, perhaps the ocean (if there is land nearby) or even puddles.<\/p>\n

As always we are looking for images that interpret each theme in an imaginative way. Images likely to catch the judges\u2019 eye are those that are creative, skillfully composed and technically excellent. The closing date for round one is 24 February 2012. The top two winners will each receive a fantastic Samsung camera, while the third prize winner will receive a \u00a3250 Jessops voucher. The top 30 highest scoring images will be published in our 31 March issue. The scores from the top 50 images will be posted on our website. <\/p>\n

Information explaining how to enter can be found on the APOY home page<\/a>. Please use your full name as the file name and paste the disclaimer into the body of your email if you are sending your entry to us electronically. We also need to know where and how you took the image, plus the camera and lens you used. Remember to include a telephone number and your postal address so we can contact you if you win.<\/p>\n

From tempestuous seas to placid, glassy lakes, winding rivers and picturesque ponds, water exists in myriad forms providing countless opportunities to create beautiful or impacting images. No doubt most photographers have, at one time or another, been seduced by the glow of the sun rising over a lake or an atmospheric seascape at sunset. There is surely nothing more gratifying than the sight of an idyllic water scene illuminated in perfect light.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

For the first round of APOY 2012, we want you to turn your attention to all the places where water meets the land. This could be a river, lake, sea or canal, to name just a few – any body of water is acceptable as long as there is also land in the composition. You may find inspiration in the unlikeliest of places; a puddle down a country lane or a pond hidden away in a local park, for example, could turn out to be a fruitful subject. Try to think beyond the obvious locations and consider how you could use the subject to your advantage. You might like to use reflections in your image or make colour a key part of your composition. Think also about what time of day you are going to take your image as this will of course affect the way the light falls on the scene. <\/p>\n

Here are some tips and suggestions to help you get started<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Why not try\u2026<\/h3>\n

Choosing a subject and composing your shot<\/strong>
\nFinding your subject will be the first challenge – the next will be deciding how to photograph the scene to create a meaningful image. You may have a list of favourite locations that feature water but try venturing somewhere you haven\u2019t been before. You may find a few visits are necessary to build up knowledge about the scene you want to photograph but an adventurous approach may yield unexpected and pleasing results. Think carefully about how you compose your image and try to be creative in your approach. How does the water intersect with the land? What viewpoint do you need to use in order to convincingly realise what you have in mind? Taking the time to really think about what you\u2019re trying to convey will pay off.<\/div>\n

Exposure<\/strong>
\nOne of your main considerations will be to ensure you choose an exposure that renders detail in both the water, land and sky in as accurate and balanced a way as possible. Taking a spot meter reading from both the sky and water is one way to go about achieving a balanced exposure. There will inevitably be an element of compromise, especially in scenes where there is a lot of contrast, and you may want to experiment with using a polariser to reduce reflections on the water and to boost the contrast in your image, or a graduated filter to balance your exposure. Try using longer exposures to record movement in the water for emotive effect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Black and white or colour?<\/strong>
\nScenes in which water is the subject can be equally effective in both black & white and colour, but deciding which approach to use requires an element of thought at the previsualisation stage. For example, if there are strong shapes and lines or interesting textures in the scene, would they have greater impact in black & white rather than colour? Conversely, you may choose to make a particular colour a subject in your image in its own right, in which case, how could you frame your shot to accentuate this? <\/p>\n
