Welcome New Members!

Thank you for all those who have recently joined PhotoUnited! It's exciting to watch the group grow We're almost at 250! Invite your photo-enthusiastic friends and colleagues!

To the new members here (and a reminder to the old) I hope for this group to become a place of education and discourse between photographers. Critique is welcome and encouraged! I've done a lot of talk on this but not much action (being distracted with other things) BUT if you have any ideas on how we could build each other up in skill or becoming closer as a community, have articles or videos to share, feel free to comment or note the founder and I will consider sharing them to the group in future journals!

And do not be shy or discouraged if your work is declined. I have work that's still declined too because sometimes what we submit just doesn't fit the gallery's standards or aims. I have seen people leave this group just because one piece was declined (though they had other works already in the group) and I really want to tell you guys not to be concerned about it if this happens to you, but to ask questions and see what you could do to improve your work.
For submission standards please see the FAQ/Submission Policy here (it is also linked on the home page): photounited.deviantart.com/jou…
Important bits from the Policy:
When you are submitting, imagine this is going into a professional gallery in the city. Is this a good representation of what my work is all about? Is it conceptually or technically engaging? Am I ready for negative critique in case I might get some?

Please submit correctly according to each folder, either Colour, Monochrome/Duotone or Phonoegraphy. (Leave Featured for the founder to manually add to )

This is a group for hobbyists and intermediate photographers to take that extra step in the quality of their work, formally/technically and conceptually.


Now for a little feature for some of the newest members in the group to help you feel cosy in your new community
