Just a quick note to let everyone know that the original winner of the Lowepro Passport Sling did not respond to my message.  As is dictated in the rules, we will now select a random winner.  Once we get in touch with that winner, we will make a formal announcement.

It’s time for a new look, and we’re ready to roll out our new design. But we didn’t stop there. Oh no, there’s a lot of other benefits too.

After our review of the ExpoDisc White Balance Filter, one particular aspect of our review concerned the manufacturer, ExpoImaging.  Specifically, they were concerned with our results under incandescent lighting.  Per our review, our findings were that the ExpoDisc was cause for a bluish cast under incandescent light.  ExpoImaging was bothered by this for one simple [...]

I just wanted to inform everyone that we have added a posting limit of 7 photos per week for the Shutter Photo @ Flickr Pool.  We are not trying to offend anyone.  All of the photos that have been added to the pool are great sources of inspiration, and I’d hate  that any of them [...]

Thanks to the help of Random.org, a winner has been selected:  Emily Ferry of Washington DC.  Congratulations, Emily – we’ll be contacting you shortly.
Thanks to all who entered.  We hope to have more giveaways in the coming months, we hope you’ll all enter again.  In the meantime, take a look at Emily’s Blog – she [...]

Those of you who have been visiting the site every day may have noticed a few subtle changes over the last several days.  We have been preparing for some upgrades – a process that cannot be taken too lightly.  The biggest change that you’ll notice is that we are now using Disqus, a great add-on [...]

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 [...]

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.  We’ve looking deep into the future and made some predictions.  But now it’s time to talk about our relationship with you – how Shutter Photo’s [...]

Recently, we discovered that our subscriptions page was broken.  It is now fixed.  Many of our faithful readers were able to follow us on RSS feeds, but were not able to get to the form where they could subscribe via e-mail.  If you were one such individual and if you prefer e-mail subscriptions, you can [...]

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.

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.
