Photo Competitions

Participating in photo competitions is one of the many ways photographers have to get their work out there. Choosing the right images, the right title, the right print and of course, the right contest can overwhelm even the most experienced photographer. But besides the exposure, participating in photo competitions can also improve you as a photographer.

In this show we welcome David Ziser, a professional photographer with many competitions on his belt, as a participant and judge, to share some of his experience and tips.

As usual, the show got longer than we expected but it’s worth it.

Please feel free to leave us your feedback and if you enjoy the discussion, why not going to David’s site and telling him that also.

Thanks for listening.

PhotoNetCast #7 - Editing and Processing in Photography

By Antonio Marques | Jul 7, 2008
PhotoNetCast Shows | 5 Comments

Editing and processing has been done since photography began, and was a common procedure that many of the great masters have used to expand beyond reality and create a new reality on the photo paper.

Now let’s bring digital into the scene…

From one captured image is now possible to create, within seconds, a multitude of different photos just with a few clicks of the mouse.

For the purists, a deadly photographic sin. For others, an opportunity for explosive creativity.

How far can an image be edited and processed and still be considered photography? And in which situations can an altered image be used?

In this episode of PhotoNetCast we discuss this, and more.

Listener Poll: What level of Editing and Processing is acceptable in photography?

By Antonio Marques | Jun 27, 2008
Polls | 7 Comments

This is another of those gray areas in photography.

With the proliferation of digital cameras and better and more powerful processing software, the definition of photography is changing. Everyone has it’s own view of what is acceptable or not in digital photography processing.

Should photos be processed at all, or is it ok to process them in any way possible to better represent the view of the photographer? Can it still be called photography?

Since we are going to address this issue on the next episode of PhotoNetCast, we’d like to have your input. Please vote in the poll bellow or in our sidebar.
