photography websites???

[Harmakis7]

Does anyone know of a website or something online where you can submit works and have then critiqued by a pro???

or any other websites that offer little photo contests???

I am looking to get my work out more to get more opinions then just my families....

One of my favorite photography sites is DPchallenge where they hold member as well as open contests. The quality of photography there is incredible, definitely not for beginners like myself, but very inspiring!!

there are loads of ones in the UK - but some you have to pay a yearly thing, but I have not done it yet as most Pros use them.

We could setup our own

make our own site..... thats would be interesting... but its also kinda time consuming... i barely can keep up on my little site...

there is a good one for nature photography...but they are really tough critiques...

betterphohto.com has many challenges, as well as Fredmeranda.com They both also have forums dedicated to critiquing.

One site that is really only one-minded (such as myself) is fencecheck.com. But they're all a bunch of air-heads like myself. Check out the site and you'll know what I mean. haha

And also, those guys are very honest (respectful) with their critiques as well.

I recommend the online workshops at betterphoto (dot) com Prophotogs (dot) com for beginners wanting to go pro.

I completely agree with gingersnap, but it's so hard to fit in with those who just want to keep it as a hobby or just want awesome pics for their personal photo albums. That's the biggest problem I run into.

The second biggest problem would be those who forget what it was like when they were just hobbyist. I want great vacation and family photos; I'm not looking for tips on how to set up the next bridal party for a paying customer. I guess there's always a fear of one going pro and being the competition. I find many online forums are quite snooty.

why not do our own?

I'm on www.accessphoto.com

I recommend you try building your own website. I'm interested in seeing your photos. I've thought about hosting some other photos of people on mine, in a little section, might be fun.

I pretty much like your website, it's just the homepage's music...

 

[sunshiinedays]

Worth1000.com has an active photo contest section broken down by skill level.

 

[Gingersnap]

It really depends on the type of photography you wish to pursue, as well as the level. If you want to take your photography to a pro level you don't have to do it for a living. But going where the pros are will improve your skills and push you to perfect your art with more challenging assignments.

I'm a pro children's photographer. Anyone interested in portraiture is welcome to PM me for some sites that may help.

For anyone interested in picture taking and photoshoping, www.radiantvista.com is an excellent site: it has many interesting video podcasts (daily critique, workbenchs, video tutorials)
