Some helpful definitions

Open: any image

Landscape/seascape: photographs depicting natural scenery

People: any picture portraying people, formal or informal

Macro - The classic definition of Macro Photography is that the image size on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is the same size or larger than the subject. (Lenses designed for macro are usually at their sharpest at macro focus distances and are not quite as sharp at other focus distances.) This usually requires dedicated equipment that most photographers do not possess.

Recently the term macro has been used in marketing material to mean being able to focus on a subject close enough so that when a regular 6×4 inch (15×10 cm) print is made, the image, on the print, is life-size or larger.

You get the idea. Close up stuff – as close as your equipment will go. Most digital cameras will go very close!

Movement - Images that depict and give a feeling of movement. (Camera Shake will not do)

Townscape / urban landscape: in some way describes town or city

Natural History: flora or fauna but not domestic animals or pets

Dusk til Dawn: images taken after sunset and before sunrise
