Ask a Photographer #AAP

Before I continue with the announcement of this weeks theme of the #POBPhotocontest I would like to share a new initiative I've started.
I wanted to increase the number and quality of the comments that photography blogs receive.
https://peakd.com/hive-153349/@friendlymoose/ask-a-photographer-aap

By adding the #AAP tag to your post you indicate that you are open for constructive comments from other photographers about your photograps.
You can also search the tag and add your own comments on the photos from other photographers.
It doesn't matter how experienced you are.

The theme for this week: SAND

Below is a photo I made during my walk last weekend in the dunes. This inspired me to choose SAND as the subject for this weeks contest.

About the POBPhotocontest

The #POBphotocontest is a weekly photography contest with a different subject every week. It runs from Sunday until next Sunday (8:00 PM CEST).
My intension is to make this contest accessible for everyone; from experienced photographers with professional cameras to beginners shooting with their phone camera. Everyone can join!

Every week you can create a blog post for this contest with at least one photo that that meets the subject of that week. That photo needs to be the first photo in the post.
Although it is allowed to use a photo from your archive it is more fun to go out and shoot new photographs.

Your photo should tell a story by itself, but also write something about your photo or photo's in your post. Share some background information about the subject, location or techniques you used and why you submitted this photo for the contest.
Don't forget to set #pobphotocontest as one of the tags] of your posts since that is the way I can find all the submitted photos.

You can also put your photo with a link to your post in the comments of this post.

The contest ends next Sunday 8:00 PM CEST.
I will personally judge the photos and select 3 winners based on both the quality and originality of the photo and the additional information in the blog post itself.

The winners will receive POB tokens and Ecency points.

With the theme SAND you can go many ways. Just plain sand, patterns in the sand, but also a dog who found a new job.
