“Winter XII” by Tomás Rotger
I will readily admit that I have a soft spot for black and white photography, but only if it’s done well. There is a very narrow pass between a well done black and white photo and a poorly done photo. Tomás Rotger’s Winter XII, shown above, is a perfect example of a perfect black and [...]
Shutter Photo’s Goals for 2010: It’s About You
In the past week, we have been wrapping up 2009 and looking forward into 2010. We’ve focused on small details and talked about looking back and reviewing our own works.

Photography World Predictions for 2010 – And How It Benefits You
In our week of year-end wrap-ups, we feel inclined to make predictions about the year ahead of us. We have a lot of thoughts about how the photography world will change in 2010. Read on to see our thoughts.
Shutter Photo Glossary off-line
Just wanted to let everyone know that for the time being, we had to take down our Glossary. It’s a plugin for Wordpress, and it has been giving us some trouble, especially in our RSS feeds. So we decided to take it down until we fix the problem. We’re looking to remedy the problem – either by fixing the plugin or replacing it entirely – as we feel our Glossary is a useful feature to many beginning photographers that visit our site.
If anyone has glossary plugins to recommend, please feel free to mention them.
As always, our goal is to serve you all as best as we possibly can. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
