COLBY'S PHOTOGRAPHIC CIRCLE OF 500 INSPIRING PHOTOGRAPHERS

This is an update to the 1st circle of inspiring photographers that I shared earlier this year. I have removed a few individuals that no longer were active on the network and added a few new faces. Nearly every genre of photography is represented here. These are individuals that are constantly providing photography work that speaks to me. They are hand picked and all active on G+ (last I checked). It includes full time professionals and amateurs alike...and all that create compelling photography.  Please enjoy...I know I have!

If you like what you find in this circle, consider sharing it with your followers to help these individuals reach a wider audience.I am already working on my 2nd share of Inspirational photographers on Google+. More to come in the coming weeks.

Here is a link to a follow up postof ... more »

Sports and Action Photographers. I last shared this circle six months ago and it's now doubled in size. These folk are, in my opinion, the very finest sport and action photographers here on Google+. There are a few in this circle who only post the odd action photograph, but these action photographs are so good they deserve to be in this circle rather than my generic photography circle.

Feel free to circle and share. Have I missed anybody worthy?

Action Skills
I saw some great skills and tips form ActionMonday contributors, and I was asking my self what I can share with you for the skills. And I chose for today vision and imagination, I thing are the main skills that we need to have for beeing creative, and in action photography they are required as much as in other types of photography. This two skills will make us always shoot some great pictures, well make us experiment with light, composition, perspective etc. ... if you didn't do it till today try to imagine, before of pressing the shutter, the picture you want to obtain, and work till you get it ;)

We as subjects are a great resource for ourselves for experimenting with our photography, and this is possible also in action sports photography, even if seems really difficult, but today I have discovered this article that is putting together some really valid techniques for doing this, really interesting and useful for who want's to try!
