| | | It's not often that we see the vibrant colours of the red fox blending into forest backgrounds. In the fall, however, these beautiful mammals mesh with the warm orange, red and yellow hues, creating remarkable scenes straight out of a painting. In this image, Photo Club member Holly Ranville has captured a stunning portrait of a red fox blending into the autumn background. By using a large aperture opening, a shallow depth of field is created to focus on the fox in the foreground while blurring any possible distractions in the background. This photographic technique is useful for photographers who want their viewers to pay attention to a particular subject or area of an image. |

| Epic landscapes: From wide-open Prairie vistas to majestic mountain scenes, towering forests to rugged coastlines, we’re looking for the most epic landscape photos showcasing Canada’s geographic diversity. Wildlife in action: An owl swooping down to capture its prey. A moose wading in the morning mist. A bear fishing in the clear waters of a mountain stream. We want to see your best shots of Canadian wildlife in action. Before entering this category, please review our wildlife photography code of ethics. Weather, seasons and sky: It’s quite possibly the most-discussed topic among Canadians: the weather! We’re looking for images that will get us talking — about summer thunderstorms, winter blizzards and everything in between. City life: More than 80 per cent of people in Canada live in urban areas, so we want to know: what makes your city unique? What is it like to live there? Intimate or anonymous, gritty or grandiose, we’re looking for images that tell a compelling story about contemporary life in Canadian cities. |
