On October 17, 2023, Lancaster Photography Association is having a Nature Photo competition. Judging will take place at the Antelope Valley Senior Center. You may enter up to 3 images for the $5.00 fee. Submit your entries here.

We encourage all our members to participate in our competitions as a way of getting feedback on your photography and learning ways to improve! I’m sure we all have some great nature images, so make sure you enter!

The Nature class is reality-based. The definition below is long, but will help you decide which of your images will work best for this Class. In short, no man-made objects, no cloning or replacing backgrounds, realistic editing, 3-4 pixel white/gray border only (optional), no flowers except as background for insect/bird/animal as subject (excepting wildflowers).

Don’t forget to renew your membership (if you haven’t already) when you log in to enter your photos!

DEADLINE: Tuesday, October 10 at 11:59 p.m.

On Thursday, October 19, Lancaster Photography Association will be taking a field trip down to the LAPD Mounted Platoon training. Sal Mondragon will give us a tour of the facility and then we are free to take photos during their training. We will be able to photograph them tacking up in the stables and practicing their drills and skills in the arena. It should be a great opportunity for human interest and photojournalism-type images.

Where: 3934 Rigali Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90039
When: We will meet at 10:00 a.m. in front of the location.
