SnapShot #670 - Get Inspired with Long Exposures! New Article! Contest News and Winners!

Wednesday, 2 April 2014

Good news - tell me what you think

Hi

I have great news...

You can once again resubmit photos into the monthly photography contest. If your photo did not place and you want to try again, go for it.

Contest-lovers will also enjoy that we are selecting more Editor's Picks, and picking them sooner... so you have more time to enjoy seeing the results before we publish the next round, the Staff Favorites.

And if you did not already know, it's free to enter the contest.

But wait, there's more :-)

1. For WEBSITE OWNERS... we've improved the "Add to Favorites" system and made it so the photo title and ID display when you hover over a photo.
2. For STUDENTS... We have a really exciting development just around the corner, where you will get a new assignment each month, feedback from excellent photographers, and more.
3. For EVERYONE... we've improved speed and performance on the site as a whole. Enjoy a faster BetterPhoto!

We have a lot of improvement going on here.

And the really big improvements are right around the corner. Soon, we'll be unveiling the new BP 2.0.

I appreciate all the feedback many of you have sent me in recent surveys and emails.

Thanks for helping make BetterPhoto even more awesome.

Jim

P.S. I always love hearing from you! Feel free to take this mini-survey. Taking 30-seconds to answer a couple multiple-choice questions will tell me about what you most love about photography, and help me further improve BetterPhoto. Here's the link:

P.P.S. One of the questions in this quick survey is: what are your favorite subjects to photograph? Let me know... as this relates to a huge new feature coming to BetterPhoto.

P.P.P.S. I am using a new and improved email system. If you haven't heard from me in a while, please forgive the break in communication. And let me know if there is anything I can do to add more value to you and your experience at BetterPhoto.

Photo of the Day #3476 - Long Day in the Palouse by Gayle Lucci

The weekly newsletter on the art of photography from   Thursday, April 03, 2014 TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK 'Rob Sheppard is a very gifted instructor who provides super fast and most useful critiques. In fact, I reworked each image based on his critiques and learned a lot. ... If you want a quality course on digital black-and-white photography, search no more, this is it!' -Richard J. Boyle, student in Mastering Black-and-White     Featured Gallery Inspiration of the Week: Long Exposures © - Ken Smith Welcome to the 670th issue of SnapShot! Hello, For a good jolt of creativity, consider shooting scenes with a slow shutter speed in order to convey a sense of motion. With a slow shutter, the part of the scene that's moving - whether it's a waterfall, an amusement ride, traffic lights, or even a train - will be blurred. In contrast, the stationary parts of the scene will be in sharp focus, assuming a tripod is used to keep the camera steady. For great inspiration and ideas, see BetterPhoto's gallery of long-exposure images. Contest news: 1) Once again, it's OK to resubmit. If a photo didn't place, and you'd like to try again, then feel free to go for it! 2) The judges are now selecting more Editor's Picks, and best yet, the EP's are being chosen sooner. Tip on April's contest theme: For 'Back to Basics', think in terms of 'the simple life'. Have fun! Kerry Drager Newsletter Editor Updates From BetterPhoto New Article: Limit Depth of Field to Emphasize Your Subject Start taking your creative photography to the next level by really paying attention to depth of field.
