Scavenger Hunt Rules

Here are the rules for this year's scavenger hunt. Judging is based on images that fit the category and that have a sense of humor or artistic quality to them. “Fit the category” is up to your creativity and interpretation, but the judge must be able to understand what you’re doing. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards for each category. There is credit just for entering a category. So DON’T hold back!

• Submit 1 photograph for each category
  The 10 categories are listed above. You may submit fewer than 10 photos, but you get points for just entering a category, so it's best to try to submit something for each category. You get points for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place. Happy to see submissions for the challenging Bonus Word, but it is only used in the score in the case of a tie across the other 10 photos.
   

• Only 3 shots allowed
  You are allowed to shoot 3 shots per category. Select only 1 of the 3 to submit. The 3 shots must be the same subject. Once you select the subject, that’s it. You can’t go find a “better”one. You can change angle, lighting, etc., as long as it’s the same subject.
   

• Photos must be taken during the competition period
  You may only submit photos taken between April 21st and May 17th.
   

• Minimal post-processing
  You can make minor tonal adjustments, correct white balance, resize, sharpen, and use selective editing tools available for local adjustments. The following types of edits are not allowed: composites, cloning, rearranging subject matter post-shooting, and major photoshop work.
   

• Image naming
  Name each submission:
  category-name_your-intials.jpg
  The word list above specifies the names you should use for each category if the category name is more than a single word. Example: A submission for the "Curve or spiral" category would be named
  Curve_chc.jpg
   

• Regular competition submission rules apply
  Submit images as sRGB jpgs
  1920 pixels in long dimension
  No borders

Marshall Goff Bio

As Co-President and one-time Artistic Director of the Newton Camera Club, Marshall is excited to serve as juror for an event at his home club. He has competed and displayed work with NCC for longer than anyone wants to admit, and pursued photography for maybe even longer than that. He has also judged both digital and print competitions at other camera clubs for several years, and somehow isn't hated by every club in the area yet. At least not that they have told him.

Marshall’s photographs have been used on CD covers, promotional posters, and in magazines, including putting sports images on the cover of the national magazine of the Ultimate Players Association and in Men’s Health (Germany).

If being a photography “generalist” means “shooting whatever happens nearby”, then the shoe fits. Marshall’s photography pursuits started from landscapes and outdoor work, but has included a surprising amount of work with people. For a decade, he photographed musicians and poets in performance, serving as the photography lead for the National Poetry Slam twice and the official photographer for a Rock Opera. He also enjoys photographing sports, especially Ultimate Frisbee.

When he’s not shooting, reading about, or looking at photography, Marshall works at an educational non-profit. Outside of that, he's an avid hobbyist musician, and coaches and plays ultimate Frisbee, which is why his knees are sore.
