Last post we announced a new feature: Photo of the Month
We will be highlighting one of your photos every month with links and much applause. Just follow the guidelines and send us a photo. We will pick one and add some comments.
This was sent to us by KFPhotoArts, one of our students:
Photo of the Month - March
He says:
“I shot this image about a week ago while the moon was full and close; according to NASA, it was the best view of the moon in 18 years! Well lit by moonlight, my frozen fingers fumbled around at the switches and buttons as I adjusted various settings on my camera. The resultant image was good but didn’t capture the cold that my fingers felt that night. I wanted more, and so I continued tonight to add an artistic element to the photo to draw the cold out of my fingers and onto the canvas. My pick #77 of 365”
KF started taking our photo courses last year with the goal of pursuing an artistic line of work. In the photo above he has taken a raw photo and started transforming it with painting software. To be effective you need to start with a good photo!
His work makes me remember the ache of cold fingers – good narrative that adds to the visual art.
Good work!
Check the guidelines.
Send us your photo of the month!
#600 New feature – Reader Photo of the Month
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011Ok, ok, we’ve been batting this idea around for a while and would like to see how it works.
We’d like to feature more of YOU on the blog.
What that means:
Once a month we’d like to feature a reader’s photo and the story behind it on the blog.
Send us a photo.
And tell us about it!
We don’t care what specific camera, lens or how many mega-zooples your processor zapped.
We do care about your inspiration, creative process and perhaps some minor technical info – shutter speed and aperture if you wish.
Why?!
We’d like to inspire, share and promote people doing good things.
How it works
Send us a photo every month that fills you with pride. We will collect photos and select one per month that moves us in some way. That photo and supporting text will be featured on the blog with much fanfare, comments and links to your web site if applicable.
Technical details for submissions:
Photo – Please send one photo at a time. Maximum three photos per person per month. Please keep your photos small – we cannot consider photos greater than 1mb. Ideally, size photos to 450 x 300 pixels at 72 dpi. A gentle watermark is fine.
Supporting Text – This is as important as the photo. What inspired you? Why do you like it? How did you do it? Tell us about your photo!
Links – Would you like a link to your site? Please send us the specific link!
Sorry, we cannot reply to all photos submitted. Stay tuned. We will feature the Reader’s Photo of the Month at the end of each month.
Stay tuned for March’s Reader Photo of the Month on Friday.
