Talk about squeezing it in at the last minute. The last day of 2009 and we just barely managed to get out the December 2009 Corner Newsletter. For those of you that have chosen to receive emails from PhotographyCorner, it should be sitting in your inbox waiting for you. For those of you that don’t have a free account at PhotographyCorner, or have chosen to not receive emails from us, you can read the newsletter online here: http://www.photographycorner.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89538.

See you in 2010!! Read more »

The final Corner Newsletter of 2009 is due out in a couple of days (I’d better hurry, too, as 2009 is over in less than 2 days!). Before we send out each newsletter, however, we always make sure to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). This month we only have 1 person receiving an award, but there are a bunch of people on the cusp of receiving awards - I see a lot of awards that will be handed out in 2010. Congratulations to MAAQ for reaching the 1,000 post milestone - the last bling recipient of 2009! Read more »

The final Photograph of the Month contest of 2009 has come and gone (well, the January 2010 contest runs the last week of December, but that’s to crown the PotM for January 2010, so it doesn’t count). After tallying the votes, Abdulmajeed Al-Thiban squeaked out his first PotM victory (and with only 3 posts in the forums to date, I might add) with his photograph “Sand Waves.” The thumbnail on the right here doesn’t do it justice, though. Check out the full-sized image posted in the award thread (and while you’re there, make sure to congratulate and encourage Abdulmajeed on his first Photograph of the Month win)!

The contest was sponsored by one of our favourite sponsors at Daymen Photo Marketing and have awarded Abdulmajeed a Lifetime, Level I Premiere Membership. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out all the photographs that Sand Waves battled against in the December 2009 Photograph of the Month Photo Gallery. Oh, and if you want to see the final voting results, they’re now posted in the voting thread.

If you want to have a photograph nominated for the next Photograph of the Month contest, all you have to do is post photographs up in the forums and galleries and hope that a Premiere Member will nominate one of them (or become a Premiere Member and nominate a photograph yourself!). Read more »

A week before the end of the month, I have the task (pleasure!) of sorting through the fantastic photographs nominated by Premiere Members for the Photograph of the Month contest. I spent hours last night looking at all the photographs nominated and finally got them whittled down to 15 - check out the photographs that are up for the December 2009 Photograph of the Month in the photo galleries. Read more »

Just a quick blog post to let you know that the December 2008 issue of the Corner Newsletter has been sent out, and should be waiting for you in your inbox. If you have chosen not to receive the newsletters by email, or you have yet to register for a PhotographyCorner account (it’s free!), you can read the newsletter in the Corner Newsletter Archives here. This is the last newsletter of 2008, and next month we start volume 6 of the newsletter - crazy! Read more »

Remember back in the middle of October we held our first Corner Photo Walk? Well, it’s time for another one. But, instead of just picking one day, we’re going to give you the whole month of December to put it together. Nikon_Mario, the brave moderator that heads up our photo walks, has already posted an intro thread to the December 2008 Photo Walk. Read more »

There were 15 photographs that made it to the final voting thread for the December 2008 Photograph of the Month contest (including two that got auto-entered because they were the winners of the Premiere Projects over the past month). Though there weren’t a ton of votes (what’s up with that? Too lazy to check out some photos and cast your vote??!), Reeflections pulled off his second PotM victory in 3 months to take the December 2008 PotM crown with his photograph of a Hawaiian green sea turtle being cleaned by a school of yellow tangs. Read more »

I can’t believe it’s the last week of November already - where did November go??! As we’ve done for over 4 years, the last week of the month means it’s time to vote for the Photograph of the Month. For whatever reason, when we started doing the Photograph of the Month contests, we did the voting for the PotM for the next month; so in August, we’d vote for the September Photograph of the Month, and in May, we’d vote for the June Photograph of the Month, etc. I guess the thinking is that the winning photograph would be displayed in the next month. Some people think it’s a little weird (like we should vote for the November Photograph of the Month at the end of November). Oh well. It’s worked for 4.5 years, so it’s too late to change it now, right?  Read more »

Just a quick post to let you know that you’ve got the Volume 4, Issue 10 - December 2007 PhotographyCorner Newsletter waiting for you in your inbox. It’s the last newsletter of the year, so take a couple of minutes and soak it all in. There’s also a little hint as to what Santa might be bringing to the Corner this year in the newsletter as well. If for some reason you didn’t receive the newsletter, you can read it here: http://www.photographycorner.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67543. Read more »

I know it happened over a week ago, but I thought I’d still mention it on the blog since I always do. If you didn’t know already, Erik Bernskiold won the December 2007 Photograph of the Month with his photograph Summer Memories! Congrats Erik on winning your first PotM here at the Corner! Read more »

The last week of every month means one thing here around the Corner: time to vote for the Photograph of the Month. This month, we have 15 amazing photographs by 14 different photographers (double congrats to cosmonaut for having 2 photographs in the running this month)! Read more »
