I know this post is a little late, considering the chat was over 2 weeks ago, but better late than never, right? For those of you that were in the 2 chats we held a couple of weeks ago, this will be a bit of a review, but for those of you that couldn’t make it (we held one at 2pm and one at 7pm EST), here’s what we talked about: Read more »

Just a quick post to let you know that the August 2008 Corner Newsletter is finally complete and has been sent out. If you’ve opted to receive emails from the administrator in your UserCP, you should have it waiting for you in your inbox (make sure to mark admin@photographycorner.com as an allowed email address if you have some sort of spam/email filtering enabled). For those of you that either choose not to receive emails from PhotographyCorner, or those of you that are not members of the PhotographyCorner Forums, you can read the newsletter online here. Oh, and sorry to about 2,000 of you that received it twice - as it was sending out, I noticed a couple of errors in the first copy… oops! Also, in the first couple of paragraphs, I asked for feedback on the newsletters. You can either reply to the newsletter email address and it will get to me, or send me an email at admin@photographycorner.com. It’s a long one (had to make up for missing the newsletter last month), so make sure to grab a coffee or something before you sit down to read it.  Read more »

Earlier in the week, we held a “featured chat” (side note: we gotta come up with a better name for our “official chats” than that) where we discussed what YOU would like to see around the Corner. I announced it last minute (though our amazing mods had planned it well in advance), but it was great to see 20-25 of you show up. This post (while long) will serve as a recap of what we discussed in the chat, in addition to discussing some of the potential changes we may implement based on your ideas. Also, be sure to leave your feedback in the comments! We would love to hear as many opinions as possible, even if you are unable to make it to the chats. Read more »

A day or two before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. This month, however, we’ve only got 1 person who’s receiving a Commitment Award - newlove. It is very fitting that Lise is receiving an award this month, as she has been putting a LOT of effort into the Corner Chats, as well as organizing some of the site improvements (more to come on that later today) and suggestions for making the Corner a better place. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to newlove who is receiving the award below! Read more »

Despite the fact that the voting and the winner announcement was a couple of days later than normal, that, by no means, makes the winning photograph any less than fantastic. Jim Harris (aka jaharris1001) of Deltona, Florida won the August 2008 Photograph of the Month contest with his photo titled “Pilons and Morning Colors.” Read more »

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been out of town for the past couple of weeks. Of course, the Corner doesn’t stop ticking when I’m away, and there’s lots to catch up on now that I’m back. To make matters worse, it’s actually a holiday today up here in Canada, and I’ll be out for most of the evening (taking some engagement photos for a couple of friends). That being said, over the next couple of days, there will be a lot of catching up going on around the Corner. Read more »

A couple of days ago, while still on vacation, we began the voting process, albeit a couple of days late, for the August 2008 Photograph of the Month contest. We have 12 photographs to choose from, including two by Abdulmajeed and jaharris1001. Read more »

With September just around the Corner, we’re getting back into the regular “swing of things.” Why not turn “the daily grind” into a photograph? But what does the daily grind look like? It could be a traffic jam, dishes piled up, stacks of homework - whatever makes up your daily grind, that’s what we want to see in your photograph. Read more »

Younes Bounhar, also know as ybounh on the forums, has been gracing the Corner with his amazing 10-20mm photographs for a while now. After a total of 7 (SEVEN) PotM nominations over the past year or so, he’s finally pulled off a win - and a well deserved win it was. Read more »
