Wanna write for us?

previous article: next article:

pencils.jpgIf you’ve been following Photocritic for a while, you can’t have missed the fact that we’ve had some world-class Guest writers involved recently. RJ Davis’ article on paper negatives was very well read indeed, Anna’s introduction to portraiture went down a storm, and Alecu’s rally racing photography article was rather well received, too.

Would you be interested in writing something?

Do you love photography? Would you like to have a go at writing for an extremely popular photography blog? Check out this post, and read a couple of our earlier contributed guest articles to see what I’m looking for.

Also, don’t worry if you feel your writing isn’t good enough. It’s the factual content, and the opinions that matter. I’ve worked as an editor for a long time, and I’ll work with you to turn your writing into a sharply written, publishable piece. Unlike all the drivel I normally post in my Photocritic blog, then :-)

I will (for the third time now, I think) once again attempt to make good on my promise to have a guestblog entry ready for you.

The one time I came close with a piece on renting equipment, you scooped me! I cried mightily.

I will try once again!

I feel like a bit too much of an amateur to be able to write anything hugely authoritative.

If you want to syndicate any of my existing material from my site, such as my recent light tent series, feel free… or I could condense the 3 posts into an article for this site?

I’d like to contribute in the future – but I don’t have any articles in my head just at the minute.

Hey – just linked to this site through google reader – weird how these things work. Let me know if you want a few articles on stitching or rules of thirds overviews. I also enjoy Macro photography and have started to use some custom software like processing.org

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

My books

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!
