SECTION DEFINATION ( FIP Definitions)
An entrant must agree to salon rules by checking checkbox of the declaration before image upload.
FIP DEFINITION OF DIVISIONS AND SECTIONS
OPEN (General):
Entries must originate as photographs (image-capture of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on
photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as his/her
own and permits the sponsors to reproduce all or part of the entered material free of charge for publication and/or
display in media related to the exhibition. This may include low resolution posting on a website. The exhibition
assumes no liability for any misuse of copyright. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the
maker. Creative is defined as “altered reality”.
PID Colour
The subject matter is unrestricted for PID images in separate colour and monochrome
section. There may be a theme specified for some PID Salons and the exhibition’s definition
of the theme should be consulted with the organizer.
Use of major computer generated graphics is totally restricted except in Creative
thematic section.
All elements of the image must have been shot by the author. No part of the image should
have been taken from Net or other person’s image. Use of some filters available on net is
permissible.
Same images either colour or mono in two different section of the same Salon will result in
disqualification for both the images.
Monochrome Definition:
An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no
colour (i.e. contains only shades of grey which can include pure black and pure white) OR it
gives the impression of being a greyscale image that has been toned in one colour across the
entire image. (For example by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)
Nature Photography definition:
Nature Photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all
branches of natural history, except anthropology* and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation. (Suggested: An example will be helpful to the New Jury).
The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality
while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements must not be present, except where those human elements are
integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks,
adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are
in situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves.
Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible.
Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals,
domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible.
Techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image,
except by cropping, are not permitted. Conversion to infrared, either by digital
technique or by original technique is not allowed. Stitching of two or more image is
not permitted.
Complete conversion to grey scale Monochrome is allowed but without partial or
complete toning.
It is perfectly legal to remove dust, flares or digital noise. Minor global colour / tone
correction is OK as long as it is not selective and the final image looks natural but not

dramatic. Dodge and Burn tool is for you only but use it judiciously. Selective
darkening of background is prohibited. Techniques like panning, slow shutter speed
or in-exposure zooming are part of your creativity. Use of filters like Polarizers and
NDs are ok.
Drone Photography in the National Parks of India is illegal except with prior written
permission from the concerned authorities. Drone images of Wild animals will be

Images entered in Nature section meeting the Nature Photography Definition above can
have landscapes, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the
primary subject matter. This includes images taken with subjects in controlled conditions,
such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure where the
subjects are totally dependent on man for food
Photo Travel guide line for FIP:
- A travel image depicts features of a culture, place or people as found naturally,
anywhere in the world. - Images of individuals or group must show their environment or location.
- The image should not be a SETUPimage and it should not be a directed image.
- It should not be from a PHOTO WORKSHOP where a troupe dances for the
workshop organizer or HORSES are made to run in dust or water or an individual
shows his acrobatics on payment of a fee. - Many monasteries have religious festivals with dances etc and it is perfectly legal to
submit such images though you may have paid an entry fee. Same is true for ballet
and other stage shows. - Images shot at fairs where the subject is obviously posing for you, with or without
payment, is only good for pictorial section. On the other hand a candid image is good
for PTsection.
