Photo competition
Be on the look-out for
BOLD COLOURS
M
ake sure to remember your camera if you take on the
big trek during May to Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day.
It is the ideal opportunity for amateur photographers to
take photos that portray this year’s competition theme,
‘agriculture in full colour’.
Remember: Colour is an important part of a photo’s composition
(unless you’re shooting black and white of course). Colour is as
much a part of a photo’s composition as other building blocks such
as shape, form, texture, lines and light.
