Preparing Photographs for submission

Good morning everyone.

I know quite a few of you have been hard at work photographing your Giving Back to the Community projects. Well now as we start wrapping up all our shooting projects we have to think about getting those photographs into the market place.

Well, nobody is going to see them on your hard-drive so we have to get them developed and processed so that your peers can choose their favorites and we hopefully can choose some great photographs for our final project submissions.

This short blog post is all about where you can find additional resources to get your photographs developed.

The best place to find some great resources on how to use some of the applications that we use everyday would be from the Tutoring center in our Campus Common area.

Here you can find great tutorials on how to learn the applications that will become the foundation of your business in the future.

I also found a few paying websites that you can use to learn how some of the professionals in the business do it.

FREE

Hop on over to Creativelive for some really great videos. They offer free training for all their live courses and they cover a wide range of genre's and creative processes. 

Our own Lynda.com access can be found under our online library section of the campus common area. Just go to your online library and choose Photography icon. You will find it under the Industry Information section.

Another great site is Petapixel. They some of the best resources in the business and you are always getting some really good professional information. 

Paid

Then of course you can invest some additional money into your education and get some paid training. I use Kelbyone Training

There are so many different options to choose from so make sure you choose something that you are comfortable with.

We will be creating a special visual celebration of all the photographs that are chosen.It will be a selection of some of the best photographs from our Month of Giving Back and something that I know you will be proud to be a part of.

All final submission deadlines will be posted in the coming weeks so please make sure that you have all your photographs edited and ready for submission.

If you have any questions or thoughts then please leave a comment for me here and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Have a great week of shooting and editing and I will speak to you soon.

Your Editing Style: What Would You Do?

The settings you choose in camera and the lighting you incorporate make up one part of your photographic style. What you do with the out-of-camera images is another. Have you found your editing style, or are you still trying to figure it out? This week, I want to see what you would do with the straight-out-of-camera image. My edit appears on the left, and you'll see that I love a simple, clean edit with slightly saturated colors. Grab the image on the right and make your tweaks to show your editing style, then share your edited image in the PSPN Google+ group. Make it your own, but please, leave the watermark in tact - you can add an "edited by ____" notation on the image to show your part of the work!

Happy editing,
