I recently started using a photography forum called Photo Forum. I find that the forum is a good tool to use. You can get advice on things such as photo editing, photo composition, photography locations, studio set-ups, website help, and more. I forums are useful for other reasons too, as mentioned in my previous post you can get more views on things by posting about new uploads. Forums are one of the most useful tools on the internet, so try to register and begin posting.  
Tip: Try to register and use more than one forum as it will get your photographs more exposure, and more traffic to your website.*


Here is a list of photography forums:

  1. Digital Photography School
  2. The Photo Forum
  3. DPreview Forums
  4. Photography on the Net
  5. Photography.ca Forums


Comment down below with which forum you find to be the best.

*This is not a garuntee, even if you post about your website/uploads it doesn't mean that people will look at your post. Also, very many people post on the new website sections of forums and many posts are ignored.
 
Today I have uploaded new photographs to the website. The new photographs include images in both galleries (Dog Portraits, Ecuador 2011). You can find these pictures on my Flickr as I uploaded them there before the website. The images can be found on the portfolio page of this website. 

These photographs cannot be found on my Razzi account.
 
I have added some new parts to the Bryan Smith Photography website. The biggest change you may see is the update of the portfolio section. In the update, I have added another gallery to the portfolio, I have also added gallery titles. The new gallery is "Ecuador 2011" and will feature photographs from my 2011 trip to Ecuador. In the near future i will add more galleries to the portfolio section and perhaps add a menu if it becomes too cluttered. The second change is to the blog. Located in the blog sidebar (on the right side of this page) are three advertisements. These are test advertisements, but they do work as links and I encourage you to click on them (I do not make money off of test advertisements). The test advertisements will change weekly, and advertisements will only be featured on the blog page. If you have any suggestions for the website, please feel free to send me an email using the contact form located on the "About" section of the website.

To find the changes please go to both the blog, and the portfolio.  
 
Recently Flickr updated the look of the website, personally I am not a fan. As Flickr is not my favorite I have been searching for new websites to share photographs on. What I came up with was: this website, and Razzi.me. My website is for sharing my photographs and my work and updates, and I will use Razzi as a substitute for Flickr, photo-sharing with a community.  So far my first impressions of Razzi are positive. It looks like a combination of both the new Flickr and the old Flickr. One thing Razzi does not have that Flickr does is the large community. Therefore I will continue using both Razzi and Flickr, and will provide updates on how I like Razzi. 

I have recently uploaded six images to Razzi, three to Flickr, and two to my website.

You can find the images on the website in the Portfolio section.
