Sharing your photos online

I love seeing photographers grow. One of the best ways to do that is to make more photographs. However, at some point you need/should share those photos with others. There are so many choices. Make sure you read the "Terms of Service" so you can understand what your rights are. If you have a Facebook account that can be a good place to start. Family and friends are always a good place to start sharing. Here are a few choices to get started with. I use all of them in some fashion but I post more to Facebook and Flickr. Don't feel that you have to use all of these services. Also, there are other services that I have not mentioned due to time. During the next couple of weeks I will explain each service in a little more detail.

Photo Challenges

Our photo club's challenge this month is Hilton Pier in Newport News, VA. Why are challenges important? As photographers we should always have challenges or goals. Different subjects or different topics help to keep you out and making photographs. It's the personal projects that will help you grow the most.  I have said this before and I will say it again. Don't be afraid of subjects that you don't normally photograph. It might make you uncomfortable but you will learn something in the process.

34th Annual Virginia EMS Symposium

Today, Wednesday November 6, 2013 marks the start of the 34th Annual Virginia EMS Symposium. This is an educational conference for Emergency Medical Services providers that offers over 250 classes for continuing education. The conference attracts some of the best and brightest speakers from across the nation and world and in my opinion is the best EMS conference in the United States. I am humbled and extremely grateful to teach at the conference this year. I am also thankful to have one of my photographs grace the cover of the symposium brochure for the second year in a row.

PhotoPlus Expo 2013

I attended PhotoPlus Expo this year. It is the biggest photography trade show in the United States. This year was the 30th anniversary of the show. Lots of new products and plenty of "buzz" in the industry. These are exciting times for photographers. All the major camera manufacturers had their new cameras and plenty of networking. Today's picture is of Scott Kelby presenting on the show floor for Canon.
