About Seoul Photo Club

Photographers all around Korea contributing photos and learning about photography. The group holds weekly challenges, which are published in Korea's English national newspaper.

Detail on the challenge prizes can be found on the SPC blog here.

Attention those new (and old) to photography: There is a wealth of information about many different aspects of photography in the more than 50 Korea Herald 'In Focus' articles in the archive here, along with the challenge winning photos.

Visit the Seoul Strobist Club for discussion on strobist technique and to catch up on the latest location shoots and competitions.
If you don't live in Korea, want to post images taken elsewhere and want that good old SPC community feel, head over to Seoul Photo Club International.
If you are looking for regular meet-ups and photo walks in Seoul and environs, also join up at Flickr in Seoul - another very friendly and helpful Flickr group in Korea.

IN GENERAL:
1. Read all the rules!!
2. Comment constructively on other people's photos - "Nice pic" is extremely poor constructive criticism and is considered offensive by conscientious SPC members.

POOL SUBMISSIONS: all photos must be taken by you in Korea

1. Submit one photo.
2. Then comment constructively on the two previous photos in the pool.
3. You can submit another photo once two photos from other people have been published.
4. Rinse and repeat.



WEEKLY CHALLENGES:
1. Submit to the pool as normal.
Strong favoritism will be given to those pics that are most current. ie. Taken in the last month or two.
We want to encourage you to get out there and develop your photography!!
2. The winner and runner up will be selected sometime after 12pm on Friday.
NOTE: The runner-up may not always be published due to editing and content requirements.
3. Those selected will be notified by me via Flickr mail on Friday afternoon/evening. You will need to prepare a high resolution pic suitable for publication - at least 2000px long or high and 300dpi.
Include a short caption - who (you, the photographer), why, where, what, when - with the photo. Basically just a couple of descriptive sentences along with your name and date taken.
4. Send the pic to me - gilgamesh@paradise.net.nz or raisey@hanmail.net - by 12pm on the Sunday.
5. If any pictures fail to be suitably available, the Admin Guy gets to publish one of his in it's place. The runner-up getting bumped up to winner if necessary.
6. Publication in the Expat Living section of the Korea Herald will be on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday the following week.
7. Winners, please post your pic to the Winners Thread.

MONTHLY THEMED CHALLENGES:
Specific details of the theme and date of publication will be given in the challenge thread. Of course there is no weekly challenge on the week of the monthly themed challenge.
1. Submit a pic to the designated discussion thread.
Again, strong favoritism will be given to those pics that are most current. ie. Taken in the last month.
You have a whole month to nail that pic!!
2. Include with the submission a story/description of the picture along with your name and the date taken. You could also include your Flickr address or blog or whatever.
3. The winner will be selected from the thread sometime after 12pm on the Sunday and notified by me via Flickr mail. You will need to prepare a high resolution pic suitable for publication - at least 2000px long or high and 300dpi. It's a good idea to have this high resolution pic prepared in advance.
4. Send the pic to me - gilgamesh@paradise.net.nz or raisey@hanmail.net - by 6pm on the Sunday.
5. Publication in the Expat Living section of the Korea Herald will be on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday the following week.
6. Winners, please post your pic to the Winners Thread.
