Blog on Photoblogs

Extending your photoblog with PicLens is quick and easy - why not try it out now!?

Why don’t photobloggers publish larger images on their sites? Would larger images attract more visitors, or make current visitors stay longer?

This weeks image is from Austin Mann, I found Austin’s work last week and knew that I needed to profile him on Blog on Photoblogs.

So why did I decide on this image?

• The wide open space in this image really pulls me into the photograph.  I found myself lingering for quite sometime seeing if there was something else to be found in the grass, I love when an image grabs my attention like this one.
• The brightest area of this image is the mountain range, and that really drew me deep into the image.  After scanning the grass, I didn’t lose interest at all - the light mountain range really helped.
• The dark edges of this image kept me looking…if it was on a gallery wall, I would stay here for longer than normal.
• Finally, I am not sure about how much post-processing Austin did on this image, but the colours pop, and the contrast between sky, land and mountain range is great!

If you get a chance to catch Ben Willmore and Kelby Seminars do it, you won’t be disappointed.

First, I want to extend my apologies to all my readers out there - I seriously fell off the wagon last week with regards to posting on the blog! Thanks for the emails, everything is fine! Real-life got a little hectic and the blog suffered.

Now back to our previously scheduled show. This weeks image comes courtesy of Kathleen over at Durham Township. Here’s why I decided that her image was this weeks image of the week,

• I did a little storm chasing a few weeks back and this image is what I wanted to capture.
• The contrast between the sky and the foreground really makes this image pop.
• The rainbow adds so much to this image
• As usual the post-processing on Kathleen’s images is top-notch.

Awesome work, make sure that you check out Katherine’s incredible work at Durham Township.

Phototrade is yet another way for today’s photographers to monetize their work.

I spend so much time looking at photographers work, that I can honestly say that I really don’t remember when I find out about most of the sites that I profile. But I know exactly when I find one that I want to profile on the site. I can’t quite put my finger on why Sean’s work makes such an impression on me, it just does. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to stumble upon TreeSwing, I highly recommend that you stop by and check out Seans’ photography.
