(c) John Corney 2010
 You probably don't have to dig too deep into your computer hard drive to find something to enter into the International Garden Photographer of the Year contest. After all, who doesn't have photos of flowers?

The contest is hosted by Kew Gardens in London, perhaps the most famous botanical gardens in the world. The categories to which you can enter photos are:

Plant Portraits

Garden Views
Wildlife in the Garden
People in the Garden
Wildflowers
Trees
 
The £10 British pound (approx $16US) entry fee is levied for each category you enter. Each £10 fee allows you to enter up to 4 images in that category. You may enter as many categories and photos as you like.
 
Cash prizes are generous - £5000 for the grand prize winner. There is also a portfolio prize of £2000.
There's not all that much time left to enter - entries close at midnight on November 30th GMT. (There's a countdown clock on the competition homepage that will help you determine the equivalent of Big Ben striking midnight in London on November 30th wherever it is that you live.
 
All the details of the contest can be found at http://www.igpoty.com/.

Young at Heart: The Active Seniors Collection + Massive Redbubble Sale!

Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective.

Complete with flower-adorned helmets, flying striped scarves, and big, beaming smiles, these characters are a tribute to everyone who refuses to slow down. These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...

Taking Photos in RAW DNG Format with Mobile Devices

Note: This post was originally published on January 16, 2017, as the second part of a three-part series on RAW format mobile photography. Some details — particularly the apps' feature sets, Android versions, and the state of mobile RAW photography — have changed considerably since then. I've left the original text in place as a record of where things stood at the time. Following on from yesterday's post ( What is RAW photography format? ), today I am going to share with you some ways you can take RAW DNG (digital negative) files using an Android device such as a smartphone or tablet. Currently I am using a Google Pixel XL smartphone running on Android 7.1.1 (Nougat). If you haven't yet read yesterday's post, I recommend that you take the time to do so to give you an understanding of the advantages of taking your photos in RAW format. Android Apps That Allow You to Take Photos in RAW Format Currently, these are the two apps I use on my Google Pixel XL ...

Celebrating Aotearoa New Zealand: My Kiwi Pride Collection

100% Kiwi Typography T-Shirt My mind constantly wanders back to my homeland of New Zealand, especially after my recent trip there with four of my friends from the U.S. I have only deepened my appreciation for Aotearoa and its unique culture and magnificent landscape. While I am already counting down the days until my next visit "way down under", I needed a creative outlet to express that connection right now. Between tending to the native Arthropodium cirratum and Pseudopanax ferox flourishing in my garden, I sat down to design something to help others express their Kiwi pride too. A Tribute to Aotearoa I am thrilled to introduce my "Kiwiana" collection over on my Redbubble shop. I've created both graphic and minimalist text artworks. These designs pop beautifully on crisp white graphic tees, sturdy travel totes, and die-cut stickers perfect for a water bottle....
