Photography & Mash

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

A new web gallery that is worth checking out, and perhaps getting involved in: Photography & Mash. This web gallery is slightly different to most of them out there:

The Premise is that we ask culturally relevant people inside and outside of the industry to offer the community starting points for new projects. We then give the community 6 weeks to shoot the theme and then we display the shortlisted artists. This changes every 6 weeks.

We are sourcing briefs ( Themes ) as we speak from ethically aware people in hope that we are using photography to bring to the forefront, global issues.

It’s a new site, but it looks like quite a few new features are already in the works. Probably a good idea to keep your eye on this one. Great to see new sites, like these, being launched.

LG Loop’s ‘Pro V Joe’

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Pro V JoeWorking under the ethos of ‘Your moments. Shared’ LG has a new site, LG Loop, that aims to celebrate photography and give users the opportunity to showcase and share their best photos with a community of like-minded enthusiasts as well as their friends and family.

As an ongoing reward for the Loop community, LG is running regular competitions for the best photographs uploaded, as voted for by users. To add an extra dimension to the competition, members are competing against a Pro Sports Photographer as part of Loop’s ‘Pro V Joe‘ challenge, where the public’s images are voted on alongside pictures taken by professional photographers, such as Nathan Gallagher. The Pro’s shots are submitted anonymously to avoid any favouritism and add excitement to the competition.

(Thanks to Helen for the heads-up on this. It looks like there are some fun competitions already, and some really interesting photos.)

  • Follow the Bouncing Ball for Advice on Lighting Glasses
    Quick video today from The Flash Centre on how little movements in your subject can get rid of lighting reflections in glasses. And I totally agree with Chris for “Plan A” as being, “Do you always wear your glasses?” (strobist.blogspot.com)
  • How to Photograph Coastlines
    I love heading for the coast and every year I attempt to head there at least once for a little rest and relaxation (which generally involves at least a few hours of photography each day). (Darren Rowse, digital-photography-school.com)
  • Five Steps I Took to Drive Photography Customers to My Web Site
    In my last post, I described how I turned my Web site into a business driver by dispensing with my Flash template in favor of an HTML-based site that was more search-engine friendly. Now I’d like to share five other important steps I’ve taken to drive visitors to my site. (rising.blackstar.com)
  • RAW Creativity
    An exploration of Adobe’s Camera RAW (ACR) plug-in software. (Kenneth Setzer, digital-photography-school.com)
  • 10 ways to break photographer’s block
    As a writer, I know the feeling all too well - with a sense of dread and a deep sense of apathy, I stare at the blinking cursor and the completely blank TextMate document. I have ten thousand thoughts and feelings and stories that are chomping at the bit to get told, but it’s just so difficult to get started… And the exact same thing can happen to me when I’m taking photos.

Digital Photography School Redesign

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

The Digital Photography School launched their redesign yesterday and it is very snazzy indeed. If you are a digital photographer and haven’t checked this site out yet, I highly recommend it. Great articles and tips throughout. They have now divided the content into 3 distinct areas/blogs: Digital Photography Tips and Tutorials, Digital Cameras and Equipment, and Post Production Tips. Something for everyone.
