The Center for Fine Art Photography International Show 7/10 Deadline

Last year I judged a show called People, Places and Things, and I visited The Center For Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins, Colorado to see the show and to do a lecture on inkjet printing. It was a great experience and I was very impressed by The Center’s gallery, as well as the quality of the work I was asked to judge.

Director’s Award – 2006 International Exhibition

The Center’s 2007 International Exhibition of Fine Art Photography call for entries deadline is July 10. It is an open theme, and last year drew entrants from more than 15 countries. Some of the awards include exhibition in The Center’s gallery, publication in Artists’ ShowCase, the Center’s feature section in CameraArts magazine, and cash awards. If you haven’t seen CameraArts magazine, I highly recommend subscribing. I think the whole magazine is very well put together. Their free newsletter is also well worth subscribing to in my opinion, and can be found here.

I am a member of The Center For Fine Art Photography’s Ambassador’s Circle, which is a group of volunteers who help to share information about events and calls for entry. More information about the Ambassadors’ program can be found on The Center’s Website.

Entries are due July 10 and are accepted via The Center’s website. For more info, here is a direct link to the International Show call for entry page.

Cool wind-reduction tip for compact cameras

I just found a link to a cool wind-reduction tip on this site: www.photojojo.com. Photojojo.com has many great tips and do it yourself photo projects.

Here’s a direct link to the tip on PopPhoto.com.

I haven’t tried it, but I have a compact Canon SD600 camera that is very similar, and I plan to test this the next time I film outdoors. I’m surprised at the quality of the sound that the small Canon cameras produce in video mode.

Fireworks Photography Tips Article

A few months ago, I contributed a number of fireworks photography tips for Tamron’s eViewfinder newsletter and Tamron’s online Learning Center. You can find the article here. With July 4th approaching, many people in the United States will certainly be watching fireworks displays.

Regardless of where you live, I hope that these tips inspire you to grab your tripod and get creative with the many options you have when photographing fireworks. Please be careful if you are planning to use fireworks; I recommend leaving it up to the pros–you’ll save money, and more importantly, you’ll have a far less chance of getting injured. I also interviewed two photographers in May for the newsletter. Those can be found by selecting Article 1 and Article 3 at the top of the page.

Enjoy the holiday!
