Below are the individual sections of the PT Definition, illustrated with examples.<\/p>\n
A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally. There are no geographic limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the case of landscapes or buildings, it is not necessary to know \u201cwhere the place is.\u201d The image only needs to have identifiable features so that the place can be recognized by someone visiting it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Images from events or activities arranged specifically for photography, or of subjects directed or hired for photography are not appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The photo below photo confirms that the picture of the boys throwing water is a \u201csetup.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is not the normal behavior of these fishermen. It\u2019s a \u201csetup\u201d for photographers. Close up pictures of people or objects must include features that provide information about the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The purpose of this requirement is to eliminate photographs that could have been taken in a studio instead of the natural environment of the person(s) shown in the photograph. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image manipulation by removing, moving or adding objects is often difficult to spot and to prove. When judges suspect a violation that should be investigated. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oversaturated, overly sharpened and other images with unnatural artifacts, such as halos or strong vignetting, should be given lower scores in judging. Extreme fish-eye images that are distorted do not appear natural.<\/p>\n Entire PT Definition:<\/strong><\/p>\n A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally.
