On Thursday, August 18th at 7:30pm we’ll be having our photographic competition for the month. You can find all the rules for the competition by clicking on the “Competition Rules” link in the top left had corner of our website.

The themes for the months of 2011 are the photographers listed, and the sub-theme is the direction you need to go in with the image you create. For the months that have two photographers listed, you must only choose one of the photographers (your choice) and go in the direction of the sub-theme. Before creating your photograph, please research the photographer and their many photographs for your inspiration.

Theme: Harold Eugene Edgerton / Sub-Theme: Stop Motion.

Harold Eugene Edgerton

Harold Eugene “Doc” Edgerton was a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is largely credited with transforming the stroboscope from an obscure laboratory instrument into a common device.

The selected winning photograph for each monthly competition will be framed by Frame Gallery and will then be displayed in UNCOMMON Gallery for a month.
