Creating a photography blog is a great way to share your photos with the world and build a following in the photography community. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional photographer, a blog can help you reach a wider audience and allow you to showcase your work.

Here are some tips for creating a successful photography blog:

1. Choose a Domain Name & Platform: The first step in creating a photography blog is to choose a domain name that’s relevant to your photography niche and easy to remember. You’ll also need to decide on a platform to build your blog on. Popular blogging platforms include WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix.

2. Build a Site Structure: Once you’ve chosen a platform, you’ll need to determine the structure of your blog. This includes deciding how many different sections you’ll have and how you’ll organize them. Consider creating sections for different types of photography, such as landscape, portrait, and travel photography. This will make it easier for visitors to find the content they’re looking for.

3. Choose a Design: Once you’ve chosen a domain name and platform, it’s time to decide on a design. Look for a theme that’s visually appealing and easy to navigate. If you’re using WordPress, there are plenty of free and premium themes to choose from.

4. Optimize for Search Engines: Once your blog is up and running, it’s important to optimize it for search engines. This includes creating keyword-rich titles, descriptions, and headings, as well as optimizing images and videos. This will help your blog rank higher in search results, which will lead to more visitors.

5. Promote Your Content: Once your blog is up and running, you’ll need to promote it to get the word out. This could include social media posts, email campaigns, and even paid advertising. It’s also important to reach out to other photographers and influencers in your niche.

Candids: Being Unobtrusive:

You may want to make photographs of people going about their business—vendors in a market, a crowd at a sports event, the line at a theater. You don't want them to appear aware of the camera. Many times people will see you, then ignore you because they have to concentrate on what they are doing. You want the viewers of the image to feel that they are getting an unguarded, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the scene.

There are several ways to be unobtrusive. The first thing, of course, is to determine what you want to photograph. Perhaps you see a stall in a market that is particularly colorful, a park bench in a beautiful setting—whatever has attracted you. Find a place to sit or stand that gives you a good view of the scene, take up residence there, and wait for the elements to come together in a way that will make your image.

If you're using a long lens and are some distance from your subject, it will probably be a while before the people in the scene notice you. You should be able to compose your image and get your shot before this happens. When they do notice you, smile and wave. There's a difference between being unobtrusive and unfriendly. Another way to be unobtrusive is to be there long enough so that people stop paying attention to you. If you are sitting at a café order some coffee and wait. As other patrons become engrossed in conversations or the paper, calmly lift the camera to your eye and make your exposure. In most cases, people either won't notice or won't mind. But be judicious. Don't keep firing away and become a nuisance. They will mind. You can also set the camera on the table with a wide-angle lens pointed at your subject and simply press the remote release when the time is right. Modern auto focus and auto exposure cameras make this easy to do as well.

The benefits of posting and participating in our blog. Photography blogging can be a rewarding way to share your passion for photography, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and showcase your work. Here are some steps to help you get started as a photography blogger.

People pictures fall into two categories: portraits and candid. Either can be made with or without your subject's awareness and cooperation.

However near or far your subject, however intimate or distant the gaze your camera casts, you always need to keep in mind the elements of composition and the technique that will best help you communicate what you are trying to say.

Select a blogging platform that suits your needs. Popular options include Wix, WordPress, Blogger, or Squarespace. Consider factors such as ease of use, price, customization options, and available templates.

We've all had the experience: Driving through a beautiful landscape, you stop at every scenic overlook to make photographs sure to capture the grandeur of what you see.

You get home, look at the pictures, and find them flat and boring. All the elements that enthralled you at the time are there, but not the feeling. Why?

When we look at a landscape, our eyes travel over it and selectively focus on the elements that we find appealing. Our field of vision encompasses a great deal of the scene, but our eyes and brains have the ability to ignore all except the most alluring details. Lenses and sensors or film cannot do this by themselves. They need help.

Time is the most important investment you can make in getting good landscape pictures. When you arrive in a place you've never visited before, spend time scouting—driving or hiking to different locations, finding different vantage points. Carry a compass to figure out where the sun will rise and set, and imagine how the place would look in different kinds of light. This can take some practice because you also have to look at where the light will not be falling. Photographing a canyon, for example, you might see that the west wall will be beautifully lit in the early morning, if the canyon is deep, however, the east wall will be in such complete shadow that your camera will be capable of rendering it only as a great black blob. Unless this is the effect you want, you'll either have to modify your composition, shoot it later in the day, or plan to return on an overcast day when both sides will be photographable.

Flowing Water:

If a river or stream flows through the landscape you are shooting, think about the character of it and how to convey that character in the image. A big, slow river looks and feels different from a fast-moving mountain stream. The water can be the center of interest in the image, or it can serve as an element in your composition—as a diagonal or other leading line, as a horizontal line, or as a shape that complements other elements in the frame.

Look carefully for reflections in the water. You can use some reflections to enhance the image—the colors of reflected autumn leaves, for instance—but others may just be distracting. You may have to move around a bit to include or eliminate them, or return when the sun is at a different angle. Use a polarizing filter to eliminate some of the reflection and increase contrast; rotate it until you have the effect you want.

Determine the purpose and focus of your photography blog. Are you showcasing your portfolio, sharing photography tips and tutorials, documenting your photography journey, or a combination of these? Having a clear direction will help you plan your content.
