I have recently asked to be one of the judges in the Everyman Professional photography contest 2010, there’s a lot of judges on the panel including bloggers and experienced writers.
In the first round of contest I have to select the finalist of the photo competition, for each category… I followed some basic rules…
Relevance with category/theme
Technically Correct
Composition
Visual impact
Most of the images filtered in the first point, most of the photographers do common mistake they upload images not relevant to category …

Someone is using your photographs without permission? ….. Tiny eye and Google Similar Images Search is coming.
Well the worst thing in the business that your image didn’t speak 1.the owner name and 2.Copyright Policy …. Yes you will find your images only after hundreds and thousands of sales by someone.
Yes,
Tiny eye
TinEye is a reverse image search engine. It finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version.
The Best remains the best when it comes in searching your images, however Google Similar Images is still under lab and it will take few more days to find out your photographs.
why a 10MP full frame 35mm DSLR image may infact be better than a 12MP image from camera Phone or a mini compact camera because they deliver images from the smallest sensor that is Smaller then the size of your fingernail.
Well there is a lot of difference between a 12 megapixel Phone and 10 megapixel DigitalSLR Camera, the small sensor may deliver the expected megapixel that you want…. but the quality will not be the same as a Full frame sensor DSLR, the image size also very small as compared to the size of Full frame DSLR camera.
Nikon is not shown any new model from 2009, we not know the exact reason behind this…. but sure it will give a great impact to Nikon Beginner Digital SLR Market.
Why Nikon is not launching its new model of Beginner Digital SLR Camera ? Answer 1. Sony stopped giving sensors to Nikon (may be ?) Answer 2. Nikon running out of new technology (not true)
Hey if you are using a piggy-bank sponsored camera or Canon Mark30D(coming soon)… you should know the limit of your camera, first know the limit then start serious shooting with the camera you have.
Never use auto settings
But for these kind of words you need a lot of pratice, because if your camera if shooting in the auto mode….. then accroding to me your camera is shooting not you, weak-up try and try manual modes and take control over your camera.
Use natural light
Use inbuilt flash of your camera and people say ohh…. I didn’t look like that guy, Decrease your shutter speed and increase your ISO, try to buy a good 50mm lens that suit your pocket.
Learn to Use Photoshop and other software
Be creative and learn how to make your shot even better with editing.
Share your images on web and
learn more to avoid Hurtful critiques… yes they make you better, but someway you will lose your passion if you get critique for every single shot you take or process….
A serious photography can only be done with DSLR camera, so if you don’t have start saving your money to buy one.
NIKON Which is better: Optical or Sensor-shift Image Stabilization?
Optical or Sensor-shift Image Stabilization?
Zoom 700VR QD 35mm film compact camera released in 1994. It attracted a lot of attention as the world’s first film camera with an optical VR system, Well after so many years Nikon was successful to convince his million’s of fan that VR Image Stabilization is better then other In-Camera Sensor shift image stabilizer. Now after 6 years Nikon Suddenly feel that Sensor-shift Image Stabilization is better and Introduced P100 Camera with sensor shift stabilization.
Nikon also introduced In camera stabilization to its L110 Model Camera, but shown no reasons behind the major changes.
