Google+: A Central Hub For Photographic Inspiration Remember the old adage that “knowledge is power?” If you spend ten minutes per day looking at images from those who have truly mastered the art of landscape photography, wedding photography, macro photography, etc., then your own photographic skills will rise.

Seeing is believing and the photographers who participated in February’s assignment, The Eyes Have It, sure made a believer out of me! And it sure is difficult not to be attracted the power and symbolism of the eye. Many images here are bullseyes on the topic, and range the gambit of plant, animal, mineral…and even [...]
Seeing things anew was the challenge in February, and those willing to bravely take a fresh look at their world, sure did so…and in amazingly creative ways. BINGO! Whether it be in their indoors environment at home or in their homeland’s external natural environment, the sights, feelings and essence of things are what shine through [...]
Recently, we’ve had you looking freshly at scenes using all of your senses, but primarily with just one; sight.

In August we are asking you to get low, get around, get creative and maybe get a little dirty while shooting from “Down Under, Around or Behind.” Ever wonder what’s underneath that table at the diner? Or what might be stashed under your child’s bed that you had no clue was there? The underside of [...]

Below are some comments from the submitting photographers, and we couldn’t be more grateful for [...]
Every once in a while, something so refreshing comes along it stands to make a big impact in an already saturated avocation. In the field of photography education, it’s increasingly challenging to stand out amongst the crowd. Instructors Elizabeth Stone and Tony Rizzuto have recently embarked on such an endeavor, and we feel it could [...]
First off, I love my Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 lens. I’ve shot thousands of quality macro images with it, but I began hungering to get closer still and discovered the Canon MP-E lens, which delivers extreme close-up images of up to five times (“5x”) the magnification of the standard macro 1:1 [...]
For the month of March, we asked our readers to show us their best work with the theme in mind of that crazy little digit lying between 2 and 4 on the numeric scale, the Magic Number 3. Our fantastic readers/creatives first loaded the bases and instead of simply hitting a triple, they managed to [...]
