Flickr!

community, Flickr, photography

I created my Flickr account when I started my 30-day photo challenge back in the Summer of 2011 and I used to look for inspiration in the Explore section almost everyday.

I kept uploading photos since then, but was never good at commenting on other’s work and connecting with photographers there. I was recently considering if I should delete my account when an interesting invitation came up!

Helen, a fellow blogger from the U.K. had just created a Flickr group and website called Photography Butterfly:
An online community where you can find all things photography related including simple photography advice, project ideas, book reviews and much more!

She was inviting me to add one of my photos to the group, as well as joining in the community. And that’s how I decided to stay on Flickr and become an active member!

1) Check out the website by clicking on the image above.
2) Are you a Flickr member?
3) I’m looking to follow some interesting people there, share some names if you will!

It’s been a while since I posted what I’ve been seeing online!
Here are a few things I thought would be interesting to share:

Images of Planet Mars. Isn’t that amazing?

A monthly challenge that I enjoy doing (see here, here and here).
This month let’s get creative! Check it out and join in, will you?

Did you know the painter also made a few experiments with photography?
Watch some photos at LIFE.

I participated last year (and posted about it here).
The date for this year’s walk has been announced, wanna know all about it? Just click on the image for the Q&A!

I found this blog this week and I absolutely adore the images posted there.
I guess it’s the type of work you either love or don’t like at all… I’m a fan!

More sites/blogs I like to visit!

Rebecca Arthurs Photography: I had the opportunity to watch Rebecca and Nicholas in action while they covered a wedding I attended back in May. I looooved the result! You can check it on their blog here & here. To visit the site just click on the image below:

I follow quite a few photography blogs, but I also like to visit other kind of blogs… although most of the time it’s because they have beautiful images! The three that follow are an example of that:

The Cherry blossom girl: Alix is a french fashion blogger that has gorgeous photos of herself to illustrates her posts about outfits, accessories and makeup. What I really like about the photos is their soft style and the fact that by looking at them it seems the images are telling a story. See for yourself:

Late Afternoon: Fashion and lifestyle blogger, named Liz. Don’t know anything else about her, but I end up checking the photos on the blog very often. I guess because of the light and composition, I like the way they’re taken.

O Alfaiate Lisboeta: Meaning “the tailor from Lisbon”. The man behind the camera is José Cabral who started his blog to publish photos of people he photographed on the streets of Lisbon (and other cities around the world). The blog became known and he recently published a book with a selection of those photos. I’ve got the book and like to check the blog from time to time, it’s like people watching at home
