Before you enter a photography contest, be sure to read the fine print. More and more contests are grabbing sweeping rights to use the images that photographers enter into their competition. I’ve even seen contests where all rights to the entered photographs are transferred to the company running the contest.

Hi Everyone,
I’ve added two more photographs to my fine arts site. They were taken at the Granite Dells, just north of Prescott, Arizona. I call the first one, “Rock In Repose.” Hey, we all need a break once in a while. Head on over and take a look http://www.JeffColburn.com/photosGraniteDells.html

Both photos: Tripod, 30 seconds, f8, ISO 100, 35 mm

Yeah, I just sold my first print in the gallery I went into this month.

I just found out that I’m one of the finalists in the Photographer’s Forum magazine annual photography contest. Over 3,400 photographers from around the world sent in photographs. I’ll find out where I finish in August.

It’s that time of year when Monsoons are dumping rain all over Arizona. That’s also the time I’m outside trying to get some lightning photographs. It was always a challenge to protect my equipment from the rain without buying some expensive gear. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for rain protection that […]

Hi Everyone,
Last week I sent out press releases about my photographs being in the coop in Jerome. So far the press release has appeared on six websites, and here http://www.kudosaz.com/mainInterior.asp?SectionID=4&SubSectionID=4&ArticleID=33274&TM=40213.43
Kudos is a local arts publication that is distributed to Sedona, Flagstaff, Cottonwood and other surrounding cities. Press releases really work.
