As we continue our bi-weekly interviews of popular photographers who hang out on PhotographyCorner.com, we meet Australian photographer Bill MacFarlane (known around the web simply as "TenX"), who recently placed 4th in the PhotographyCorner.com 2010 Photograph of the Year contest. Great interview below, with over 30 photos included!!

It’s June 1st, which means it’s time to announce the photograph that will be featured on the homepage of PhotographyCorner.com for June 2009. Over the past week the community has been voting on which photograph they think is the best from the past month. Photographs are nominated throughout the month by Premiere Members, then the whole community gets to vote. The results are in, and the winner of the June 2009 Photograph of the Month contest is “Moonrise Over the Wreck” by Garry!

Although we announced the winner in the forums almost a week ago, I’m still doing some catching up, and only getting around to announcing it on the blog today. We had 21 great entries for Contest Corner Challenge #53: Four-Wheel Fotography, but one entry obviously stood above the rest.

We had a great line-up up for voting in the July 2008 Photograph of the Month, but there was 1 photograph that obviously stood out among the rest: Distant Fishermen by johno with almost 30% of the votes.

Andy, with her photograph titled I See You! (pictured below) has just been announced as the winner of the March 2008 Photograph of the Month contest with just under 26% of the votes, from the 11 nominated photographs. This marks the 2nd Photograph of the Month win by Andy, who also won the February 2007 Photograph of the Month.

If you’re in the northern hemisphere like me, we’re just getting into the dead of summer. Is the heat getting to you? Well, if you head south… like “down under” south, Australia is right smack in the middle of winter. Nice and cool (for the most part, at least - weather in Australia can vary… it’s a whole continent, you know!), and ripe for photographers to invade and photograph. Join me on a virtual flight to Australia, exploring the land down under.

Andy Bonsack, with her photograph titled Trying to be Creative Here, wins the February 2007 Photograph of the Month! Congrats Andy!
