The single biggest mistake with regard to photography competitions is taking part.

Thanks for the advice, great video!

'Promo sm'

Maks' image and Hermis' image were my favourites and very deserving winners. Congratulations.

Congrats Hermis, magnificent shot

Nice video, the problem with photographing snowdrops is that they often grow in very bad light conditions. I really like your results.

With the first image I am confused with the reflection in the light ball. The damson fly is holding on the opposite side of the bend in the blade of grass but in the light ball they are both going the same way. Is it the light that is causing this?

What should my width and height be so that I can print 4x6 images without any cropping? I noticed while trying to print with Millers Lab the shoes people are wearing are getting cut out.

Most of the competitions are just a money making exercise, I wouldn't bother entering them anymore

What a stunning selection of images, very inspiring. Well done everyone. Thanks Rob & Michael

Stumbled upon this channel by accident. Thanks for the tip. may I ask who or which organization is behind this competition and how long this competition has been running? thanks Happy new subscriber😊

Thank you very much, I have no pictures that could enter to a competition :-) but that makes all sense what you said,.

Great video I'm really thinking about visiting in March 2024 it's one place I've wanted to explore for a few years now.

Congratulations to Julian! Beautiful picture, well deserved!

Thank you for the great teaching, I learned a lot! I am from Lolo, Montana, USA and really look forward to trying the new techniques you taught, this spring in the Bitterroot Valey of Montana!

what about 5 mistakes/tips setting up a photo competition?

Awsome picture... congratulations winner

Best Hopoe shot I've ever seen!

Lovely images and very nice video!

Wowza, what great images! So inspiring but at the same time I feel I may as well just give up completely 🤘🏼

Could you please redo this video, but make it so you talk about ALL of the different sizings that customers might want for digital imaging? Cause for example on photostock you will see 3 options and some of those options cause fringing which many people like me want to avoid, but have the highest qualities for every size

Hello I have been doing toad Patrol my whole life

Always very entertaining and some very interesting side notes , keep up the great work Georgina and Rob .

Thank you so much! This is very helpful and informative.

What are the 2023 categories?

Cheers. Thanks so much for the kind words. Sorry I couldn’t have been there for the live show.

Hi Rob, did send you several emails but got no response so far. So I will try it again in this way before the deadline. This is the case: Usually I don't experience that many problems with handling the upload on the website, but the portfolio upload function is giving me some trouble. The entries are already paid for so that will not be an issue. I found out that I cannot just pick an image that I posted before in the portfolio category without renewing the chosen photo and text. On top of that if I add the picture to the portfolio category it won't let me enter the imageit's get frozen and it says " You may need to add captions or upload more" Captions are already in there ....... or is it that I have to add all 10 images at once? How can I do this when all the categories aren't managed yet? Hope you can explain to me what is wrong with the website. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Fred von Winckelmann.

Congratulations to the winners and the commended photographers. What a wonderful and diverse collection of images.

Firstly, there are some great images (especially loved the old tree). Photography is such an amazing pastime especially when coupled with a love of nature, but as with everything, life sometimes takes over. I am now 3 years into remission from stage 3 lung cancer and have found a new love for my hobby, especially woodland. I also have a 5 year old Springer who adores our trips out, whether that is the mountains, waterfalls or woodland. Thank you so much for showing this and for opening up. I will watch your channel with great interest. P.S. More woodlands please lol.

Superb watch Rob. I have to disagree - I reckon the shot of the day was the fallen tree - stunning. I am hoping to go down there in a week or two to try to capture some autumn colours and fungi. I would love to see you do an autumn woodland shoot as well.

Came across this while looking for woodland videos. Very enjoyable and some great images.

Wonderful video full of creativity and artistic ideas! Thank you both for your time and best wishes to Victoria for a full and speedy recovery.

Totally enjoyed the Event - THANKS to Rob and William for a lively and inspirational chat! Only sorry I couldn't watch live but very pleased to catch up by this recording now. Cheers, Vicki S.

Lovely images!

Thanks for this video -- I'm currently on my way out the door to the local botanical garden, fully inspired.

Would be stoked to learn more about printing!

Great chat! We had fun with Buff-Breasteds at Cape Light!

Hi Robert, Lovely looking location. My parents lived in Carmarthenshire in Wales for some years and every time we visited it rained, lol!! The Oyster catcher image is really impressive. Thanks for putting the vlog together and providing inspiration for us viewers...even though you should have been on a break, lol! 😉

Lovely photos of the Thrift. And what a fantastic location for some rest & relaxation!

Hello there. I’ve got a toad on my garden and I’m like 300 yards from the closes pond/river with 6ft fencing all around. What can I do for this little guy? Do I make him a toad house for my garden or do I rehome him? I first noticed him in October last year but I thought he would’ve moved/left by now?

Loved this, quick easy to follow.

Looks lush Rob.

Thanks Rob, really enjoyed the informative video and I’ll be out trying some of your techniques from Mount Beauty Australia 😀

Super presentation!

I am now going to have to try using a 400 plus mm for some flowerscapes. Great Video!

Thank you for sharing your insights for competition entries. I’ve not entered a competition yet, so these are very helpful for me!

Good work!

Your images are beautiful Rob

Lovely

Lovely shots
