As I slow make progress catching up adding articles, tutorials and product reviews to the Corner Resource Center, I’ll keep you posted on the blog. I decided, before I write the May Newsletter, I’d do 3 more resources (so the newsletter might not go out until late tonight, or some time tomorrow). We have an article, a tutorial and a product review to keep you busy for a while.

Like clockwork, just before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. We’ve got three this month - thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below! Read more »

The announcement may be a couple of days late, but that doesn’t make the win any less fantastic: Gil Paz, aka zaplig from Giv’atáyim, Israel won Contest Corner Challenge #49: Play Ball with his photograph “Broken Window.” Read more »

After last weeks' Corner Member Interview with Andy Hornby, we're back with the regular SmugMug Corner series. This week we meet North Carolina wildlife biologist photographer, Chris Murphy.

As I mentioned on the weekend, I’ve been out of town all week. Well, I’m back, and I’ve got a pile of work to do around the Corner - man you guys like to keep me busy!! First, I’m going to tackle the next SmugMug Corner, followed by all the Contest Corner Challenge #49 stuff, and then I’ll finish up doing everything realted to CCC #50: What Is That??!. Once I’ve got all that done, I’ll start wading through PMs and emails, so if you’re waiting for a response, it could be a day or two more before I get back to you.

It’s great to be back - I missed you guys!!! Read more »

As I mentioned in the email I sent out a couple of days ago (which you only would have received if you’re a member of the PhotographyCorner Forums - you can register here), I’ll be out of town at a conference most of this week (May 4th - 9th), so, unfortunately, the winner of Contest Corner Challenge #49: Play Ball won’t be announced until I get back into the office. To make up for that, though, I’ve announced Contest Corner Challenge #50 a couple of days early. Read more »

Just came across an email from one of the sponsors of PhotographyCorner, Red River Paper, to let me know that they’re having an AWESOME sale on their Arctic Polar Satin photographic paper. It’s one of my favorite papers of theirs, so I thought I’d let you all know before they sell out. Instead of almost $45 for 100 8.5×11 sheets (which is a good deal by itself), they’re offering (for a limited time, obviously) it for $30!! Click here for more details. PLUS, if you order before June 1st, you can get free shipping if you use the coupon code PCORNER. Can’t get much better than that, eh? Read more »

Unfortunately, there's no SmugMug Corner this week (we've got a bunch more coming, though - don't worry), so instead, you've got a special treat - another long awaited Corner Member Interview with our very own Oneof42. Enjoy!

So, the 2008 Server Fundraiser is now over and everyone that has donated $25 or more has at least 1 of the PhotographyCorner.com pens in the mail, as well as a Contributor Award. Now, it’s time to draw for some of the other prizes, including a Lowepro Stealth Reporter D550 AW camera bag. In addition to the camera bag, we’re also going to give away $100 in gift certificates to the Corner Store. So, let’s get started… Read more »

With his photograph Pearl, fa1sal has won the May 2008 Photograph of the Month. This marks the third Photograph of the Month including a co-win back in July 2007. Read more »

The entry period for Contest Corner Challenge #49: Play Ball has come and gone, and we’re now in the voting stage of the CCC. With the minor controversy over the subject of the contest, I was surprised how few entries we received (ok, it wasn’t horrible, but it’s the lowest number of entries we’ve had in a while). Read more »

Remember the 2008 Server Fundraiser we announced about a month and a half ago, to raise $2,500 for a new server for PhotographyCorner? Well, it’s over! We’re done! We did it!!! Exactly a month and a half later, we’ve raised over $2,500 for a new server!! Woohoo!!!  Read more »

I’ve still got a ways to go, but I’ve got 2 product reviews, and 1 new article for you - all Red River Paper related. Nikon_Mario and ohenry both review some samples of various photographic papers from Red River Paper, and we also have a great article courtesy of Red River Paper on what color profiles are and how to use them. Read more »

This Friday's SmugMug Corner features Ukrainian "free photo artist" Iryna Smolych (also know around the Internet as Josephine Chervinska) - a great interview, and spectacular collection of photograph-based art.

It’s the last week of the month, so you know what that means, right? Time to vote on the Photograph of the Month!! Read more »

A little while back, I was asked if I was interested in doing a review of a new company RocketLife.com. They offered me a couple of free products to give their site/service a try. Who am I to pass up some free stuff? Read more »

If anyone has submitted an article or tutorial to me over the past 6 or so months, they’ve probably been disappointed that it has yet to show up in the Corner Resource Center. I’ve gotten behind, and the longer I left it, the more that piled up. Eventually it became too big of a mountain to climb, and they just sat in a folder, collecting virtual dust, on my desktop. Well, no more, I say!! I’m going to climb this mountain and get these great articles & tutorials done! Read more »

If you remember way back to late October, 2007, we held a contest in partnership with Kodak. The winners (one from North America and one from “the rest of the world,”) were to have one of their photographs displayed on the Kodak Electronic Display in Times Square for one day. Well, back in February, it finally happened. Karen and sayambhu had their one day of fame in Times Square, and Karen took a trip out to New York to experience first hand! In addition, Karen received a Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Printer. Below, we have some photos she took on the trip, some of her thoughts on the trip and the contest, as well as a mini-review to go along with the review I did earlier.

After a week off, we're right back to the interviews. To make up for no new SmugMug Corner last week, we've got double the number of normal photographs for you this week. Allow me to introduce you to Scott Whittemore, a long-time Olympus OM System user who specializes in photomicrography and nature photography.

Just a quick post to let you know that you should have received the April 2008 Newsletter in your inbox already. If you haven’t, you can read it online here. It’s obviously a fantastic newsletter (like always), and it’s sponsored by Parade Portfolio Management Tools. You’ve gotta read the whole way through, though, because there’s an important announcement regarding Contest Corner Challenge #49: Play Ball. Read it to find out.  Read more »
