Somewhat Abstract | My Camera, My Friend. I said I was going to do abstract. Well, this is a little more realistic than I normally do, but I would say it counts. Split toning on all but one of them, mostly close-ups, but, yes, a little more realistic than usual for this kind of post. Next Time: Night photography or try again. Like this: Like Loading...

Every year, we put on dozens of photo contests, including our annual Readers' Contest, which gets thousands of incredible entries.

But, in the past few years, we have been watching the mobile photography space grow exponentially as smartphone cameras have gotten, well, really good. This contest is specifically geared toward smartphone photographers. Each submitted image must be taken with a mobile device like a smartphone or a tablet. You can't take a photo with a DSLR or other WiFi connected camera and then beam it to your phone, and other cameras like the Sony QX-series are similarly verbotten. Processing is a big part of digital photography, especially on the mobile level, so in order to keep things fair, we're splitting the contest into two categories: Open: Anything goes on the editing front as long as the original file came from a mobile device.

#NoFilter: Cropping is OK, but no other editing is allowed. Looking for some tips for taking better smartphone photos? Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales Come To Life In Eerie Photography Project. Take a stroll through the forests and woodlands of Middle Europe today, and it doesn't take long before you begin to imagine yourself as a character in a centuries-old Brothers Grimm story. Be it "Little Red Riding Hood" or "Hansel and Gretel," it only takes a patch of fog and a thick strip of blackened trees to transport you into the setting of a fairy tale past, elevating your pulse and reminding you why Jacob and Wilhelm reigned supreme in the world of terrifyingly gorgeous children's literature. Cologne, Germany-based photographer Kilian Schönberger knows this better than most. He grew up with the misty landscapes in his backyard, producing memories that inspired his artistic work -- particularly his "Brothers Grimm's Homeland" series.

In it, Schönberger captures the chilly horror hidden inside an abandoned farmhouse or the overwhelming mystery of a moss-covered path leading beyond the horizon. H/t My Modern Met. The Loneliest Whale in the World. In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean. source.

WHATWHYWHENHOW: Artwork Analysis 12. Caribbean Storm Cloud, digital photograph, 2009. “Caribbean Storm Cloud” What: Unless you have never seen a cloud or a sea (if that describes you, you need a hug), I do not have to express what this is a photograph of, but if you want to know exactly what TYPE of cloud this is, thanks to Google I know: cumulus clouds! And the expanse of water that you see is the Caribbean Sea as the title of the photo conveys. That is a LOT of water, so for any seasick-prone people who also may not like even LOOKING at water-y photos…please do not throw up on your keyboard and take steady, deep breaths! Why: As a photographer, you see an opportunity and you TAKE IT, otherwise; that moment could disappear if you just sit and think about it or if you do not realize it is a great visual opportunity at all!

A storm was developing and I took notice. This group of sunlit clouds, heavy with water and hovering over the deep, inky blue sea, was a shot I could NOT miss!
