Photocritic challenges you to take 5 photos.

Donations

I know it’s a bit cheeky to ask, so that’s why I don’t really do that… but I do occasionally get an e-mail from people who want to put some money towards the running cost of the website, so hence this page.

I run Photocritic as an unpaid hobby project – and I hope you’ve enjoyed the hundreds of articles that are currently on my site, along with the stuff I do elsewhere around the internet, like my Twittering about photography, photo critiques on various websites, etc.

How and how much to donate

If you love Photocritic, and find yourself with just a little bit too much money spare, and you feel like you’d like to help me towards the server costs and my beer fund, then feel free, using this form on PayPal.

No idea how much to donate? A pint of fine ale in my local pub costs £3/$6, 1 months server costs are about £30 / $60.

Donations are rare enough that they are a true novelty, so I’m genuinely touched and encouraged even by $1 :)

Thank you!

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!


About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
