*Congratulations to Othman Kammah for winning April’s Flickr Photo Blog Contest!

Prelude

“Strings” by Othman Kammah

Thank you to everyone who has voted, and to all who’ve submitted.  With a tight vote, Othman has won our second monthly Flickr Photo Blog Challenge and will have his image submitted to the winner’s bracket.

Please visit Othman on Flickr HERE, befriend and congratulate him and enjoy his photography.  With each month, our growing network and photographic family expands.  If you’d like to be part of our community, you already are.

Othman will get to choose our next theme so please stay tuned.  Thanks as always to Heather and Mat at Mirrorlessons.com for the coordinated effort and stay tuned on Flickr in both the TRP (here) and ML (here) groups to add submissions to this month’s challenge.

We have decided to do a giveaway after 6 months where we will all vote for our overall favorite from the 6 monthly winners, so you have 4 more chances 🙂

Cheers and happy shooting everyone!

*Monthly Flickr Photo Blog Challenge #2 – Music

Music

Welcome to the second monthly flickr photo blog challenge!  Marco Bozzato, the winner of last month’s challenge has chosen the theme “Music” which will lay the foundation from which we can build out submissions.  You have until April 30th to submit your musical image to the following Flickr group threads:

 

TRP Photoblography

Mirrorlessons

If you’re not a member of either (or both) group(s), please join us, submit your image and prepare to vote.  Heather and Mat from Mirrorlessons, as well as myself will each choose our favorite from all submissions and on the first of May, we will open up a vote on both of our blogs to allow everyone, and all readers to vote from May 1st through May 5th.  The image and photographer with the most votes will get showcased on both blogs and gets to choose the theme for the month of May.  We had dozens of images submitted for the first challenge, and I’d love to see this continue to grow.  The larger we can build this community both inside and outside of flickr, the larger an audience and family we will have to interact with, learn from and build upon.

So, get your camera out, and get creative.  The only rule is that the image needs to be related to music, and while not an official rule, we like the idea of newly taken images so that we can use these monthly challenges to spur creativity from the ground up.

If you’re not signed up to receive new updates, you can enter your email at the top right of the screen which will merely sign you up to get emailed when new articles are posted, nothing more.  I’ve thought about going into pharmaceuticals or trying to become Nigerian royalty, then looking for eager investors to help separate me from my royal billions, but at this point, I’m so far behind on just keeping the blog up so you’ll only receive relevant emails to photography.  Sorry about that.

Let’s get to it!

Happy shooting,
