TPB Monthly Round Up #5

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This is the monthly round up for June. I think the service I have used the most this month and got the most out of is Flickr, I have learned so much about it and used it so much this month, that I want to share some of the information I found:

I have started using and being active in Flickr Groups this month, which I think are one of the best features of Flickr. The one that got me started was a new one called Learning Photography with Neil Creek which I am really enjoying. I’m meeting lots of like minded people who have a fantastic selection of photographs, and I’m having a great time getting to know them. I definitely recommend joining a group, I had followed Neil’s blog for some time though so I had an idea the group would be good!

The Flickr groups have been a great place to find other really good photography blogs. Here’s one I found through Neil’s group: Your Photo Tips which also has it’s own Flickr group. So I think the overall benefit I like the best about Flickr, is it’s fantastic networking opportunities.

All this talk about photographs has got me joining another photography project over at Adidap - All Day I Dream About Photography. This time the goal was to take a photograph or your bedroom or something that is in your bedroom (always). This was a bit challenging as the bedroom is quite a personal space, but I gave it a go anyway…

Iron Chef Photography: Shoe Project

Do you enter Photography Projects?

There are lots of photography projects around to participate in covering just about everything. So far I’ve only submitted to one project back in March but I want to do more, I think they are a great way to learn and challenge myself. So I’ve entered another one…

Above is my entry for Neil Creek’s Iron Chef Photography: Shoe Project that he runs on his blog. Submissions have now closed for this one, but that means the voting is about to start (and will end on 29th June).

The aim of the project besides taking photographs of shoes was to tell a story with the photograph. And that is what I have tried to do. I did actually climb the hill, and then took my shoes off to take the photograph of them!

It was very simple to enter the project, I just had to upload the image to my flickr account and then enter the address on the form. But it could have been on my blog or on any other photo management site as well.

There’s a public vote for entries as well as the judges vote so you may like to drop by and take a look?
