Categories -
1) Theme: My 4-H Horse Project Show what is special to you in your 4-H Horse Project. This could be a photo of your horse, your fellow club members. Get creative in showing off what your horse project means to you.
2) Element of Design: Images use of graphic elements of design. Photos that showcase line, shape, pattern, form, texture,
perspective, etc. Photo should consist of any subject matter within the Horse Project.
3) Macro/Detail: The goal is to zoom in close on an object to see its finer details or to make small objects appear life-size or larger that we do not normally get to see with the naked eye.
4) Motion Action: Capture of movement within a single photo. The subject appears stopped or “frozen”.
5) Shadow/silhouette: A silhouette is an outline that appears dark (typically a single color) with little or no details/features against a brighter background. Recording patterns of light and shade for a desired effect or emphasis is the definition of a shadow. The silhouette or shadow must be the primary subject and focus of the image.
6) Catch-all: Photos that do not fit into one of the other categories.
