Take photos and get ready for Maturita!

Bridge Photo Competition 2012/2013

Photography is a specific artistic way of looking at the world. Now try to find out how much art there can be in the general Maturita topics!

Have a look at the list of 15 general topics below and take a photograph related to one of them. Then describe the photo in English – what you can see in it, when and where it was taken, what the atmosphere is, and what your feelings are about the pictured scene. Try to imagine that you see the picture for the first time – just like students describing pictures when sitting the Maturita exam. Your description must have approximately 150–200 words. Both photos and descriptions will be evaluated.
