Before I became a professional
photographer, I found that the best way to improve my skills was
by doing. Books and theory were all great but self-assignments
gave me a chance to push my limits and stretch my imagination.
We thought that bringing self-assignments to Outdoor Adventure
Canada would be fun.
To make it fair there
will be two divisions. One for hobbyists and one for professionals.
No prizes… just bragging rights and a chance to show off
your work.
Sunrises and
Sunsets
Now that winter is
over and the dog days of summer will be here soon enough, your
