An interview with lifenprism,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
Roughly around 40 years off and on give or take. I took it back up after my daughters were born
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
No formal training. Mostly self taught from try and error. I do mostly nature and macro but will take a shot at anything that catches my eye.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
Subject, lighting, and composition.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup? Can you walk us through it?
I used a Sony A77 with a Sigma 105mm macro lens, handheld, aperture @ f/5.6 (I think), ISO 100, shutter @ 1/50. Had to do around 15 shots due to my assistant's eyes were sensitive to sunlight and she kept blinking as her eyes started watering. Some of the shots came out better but I liked the flow of this shot best.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
Very little. It mostly consist of cropping and a little adjustment in color and sharpness considering it was handheld @ a 1/50 shutter speed on this shot.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
Mostly friends (some that shoot as well) and the satisfaction of hearing someone compliment some of my work. As far as this shot, I watched a couple of days at other entries and as always, tried taking a different approach to the theme.
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
Yes...maybe using a tripod and experimenting with a few other settings for future task.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
How expensive this hobby has become...lol
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera? The subject.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
I truly don't think I could choose just one.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
I have studio lighting I seldom use but mostly I would take a couple of TTL flashes and a couple of reflectors in case of need.
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
Easy answer....music
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
Yes but I can't really share lol.
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
You will see more and more here as time goes by.
15) Do you have any advice for the rest of us?
If you're having fun then it can't be work.

An interview with xen,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
My dad put his very old-fashioned fold out camera in my hands when I was very young. Then I got a little Kodak--even took a large family portrait. Photography was expensive to pursue, I had to borrow a camera to take the Photojournalism course in college. My hubby promised to get me a professional camera, and he did.
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
I took several basic courses--I think newbies should really learn film first, and it is fun. I volunteer a lot.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
The WOW factor. One teacher posted the classes' work on the wall. I love the higher contrast button on my software (I have several programs).
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup?Can you walk us through it?
I use a Canon Rebel XTi with a normal (55mm) this shot and telephoto. I love Canon. Economical, low maintenance. My cats love the window seat and often knock down the curtain rod.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
I mostly edit my images for dust, background clutter, cropping. (3 or 4 ) steps on the Canon software. My husband is always after me--sharper, sharper.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
My cat had two litters of kittens, I love events like Renaissance Fairs. My boss and friend in Atlanta encouraged me, with a succinct compliment I'll never forget. Everyone should encourage others.
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
If I had a magic wand, I'd stop newspapers and magazines from going out of business. Journalism and Art photography need not be two separate things.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
How to publish.
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera?
My hubby, who sets up my tripod.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
Difficult question. I've wanted a good economical wide angle.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot? Unfortunately, I can't now afford a synchronized flash attachment. I took sports pic for a newspaper--they often forbid flash---so use my highest ISO on P setting.(They're now out of business.)
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
I like writing, but most people are getting to be very visually oriented.
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
Sorry, I can't think of any right now.
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
I'd love to be in a gallery, but don't know how. Haven't learned how to make a website yet.
15) Do you have any advice for the rest of us?
"Persistence pays", don't give up, learn all you can even if you think you won't need it.

An interview with mopinia,
Wow! What an unexpected surprise. There were several images that were impressive! Let me answer your following questions:
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
I started about 18 years ago shooting slides. I didn't get into digital until 2005 when I bought my first digital (Nikon D70s).
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
I am self-taught. My images are all eclectic but recently I have been interested in utilizing my strobes a lot (especially in people and pet photography).
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
Composition and good lighting always gets my attention. Colors that pop also intrigue me. I like tonal contrasts in an image but HDR not so much.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup? Can you walk us through it?
I shot with my D90 in aperture priority. This image is a side view of the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence. I loved the light illuminating the colorful shutters.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
I post process my work in Lightroom w/ added sharpening and tonal contrast work in Photoshop.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
My father introduced me to photography. He took some great pictures during his stay in France and Italy in the early 50's. I was quite impressed by the way he composed his images. I also get my mojo from viewing images from Flickr and other photo-sharing sites. Great places to get inspired!
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
I'm not sure if I would change what I did. I have a few other images of the bridge that offer a broader view of the bridge with less emphasis on the shutters.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
The basics of composition. Rule of thirds, etc. My first SLR images were point and shoots without regard to composition.
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera?
My strobes w/ remote triggers or slaves.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
A fast prime 35mm lens on a full-frame camera. Great lens for all-around photojournalism type shots.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
I own 3 strobes. An SB600 and 2 Yongnuos set to slave mode. I also own a couple of Travelite studio strobes.
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
Probably pursue my interest in travel by being a tour operator or guide. Or work on a luxury cruise ship.
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
One time at Disney's Animal Kingdom I was so immersed in shooting a variety of subjects totally ignoring my scowling wife. She got her just-desserts when a large bird above me used me for target practice. Her words: "That's what you get for ignoring me."
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
Yes. http://itsagoodting.smugmug.com
15) Do you have any advice for the rest of us?
Just keep on shooting but be aware of composing your subjects in good lighting even if you have to artificially add light with a strobe or two.

An interview with howlynn,
1) How long have you been into photography and what got you started?
Bought my first DSLR Dec 2012. Used point and shoots up till that time.
2) Do you have any formal training and what kind of photography do you do most?
Attended a photo workshop by John Fielder March 2013. He is a landscape photographer from Colorado. It was a winter workshop held in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
I shoot mainly landscapes and wildlife. Like to take birds in flight, hawks, eagles, pelicans.
3) In your opinion, what makes a good picture stand out from the rest?
A good picture has good composition with a dominate feature.
Having 'the element of the moment' is a plus also. Like a curtain blowing in the wind.
4) What equipment did you use and was there any special setup? Can you walk us through it?
I have a d7000, purchased dec 2012. A D7100 purchased april 2013. Len's 18-105mm DX, 18-300mm DX, 10-24mm DX, 105mm micro FX, 50mm FF, 80-400mm FF, all len's AF-S.
5) Do you post process your final images, and if so can you describe your workflow?
I touch-up photo's using Aperture. Usually exposure, vibrance, saturation, mid-contrast and sometimes cropping.
I have started using some of the advanced feature's of aperture like cloning, burning, dodging. I am a member of a local photography club and entered some local photo contest. One contest I enter only allows straightening and cropping and you must supply a digital copy with EXIF data. Due to that requirement I try to use the features within my camera's to get the look that I like.
6) Who or what has influenced your photography and what inspired you to take your winning shot?
I was quite inspired by the workshop I attended. There were 3 photograph's plus John Fielder to help with question's and what settings would be helpful with specific shots.
I was returning home from that workshop when I stopped near Fraser Co. to take some landscape photo's. That is where I spotted the old cabin with the open window and the blowing curtain. There were old barn's, farm equipment with a background of snow covered mountains. I thought it made a nice
'Grand scene'. I did crop the picture I posted for the contest to get rid of some muddy tire tracks. I did use AF - C shooting mode at 6 FPS to get that blowing curtain. Other settings were ISO-100, 18mm, F/4, 1/1600 ss.
7) Would you change anything if you could do it again, and if so what?
Changing a photo if I could take it again, I would look for a specific part of a scene that I should isolate and not just concentrate and the 'Grand Scene'. Sometime a grand scene is good tho.
8) What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?
What I wish I knew when starting with a DSLR, how much I didn't know. Now the more I know the more I realize how much more I need to learn.
9) What is your favorite photography accessory, other than your camera?
My favorite accessory, which I learned about from MT SHOOTER, is the OP/TECH dual harness. I do quite a bit of hiking and carry both of my camera's on that harness. My D7000 with the 18-300mm and the D7100 with the 80-400mm. Fanny pack can carry any other items I need.
10) If you had to choose one lens which one would it be and why?
The one lens would be the 80-400mm, I like taking wildlife photo's, hawks and eagles my favorite. This lens in only 56oz, and is great for panning.
11) What lighting equipment, if any, do you take on a shoot?
Usually don't take and extra lighting equipment. Have used the built-in flash if taking a backlit subject that is close.
12) If you couldn't do photography what else would you do?
If I couldn't do photography, I would play more golf. I try to play 3-4 days a week as it is.
13) Do you have any funny or interesting stories about your experiences?
Interesting story - I took some photo's of a red tail hawk with a little bird bugging it. I was panning and taking 7 frames a second. When I downloaded the picture's onto my computer the little bird had landed on the the hawk's back just behind it's head. Three frames later the little bird was two feet above the hawk and had not even opened-up its wings yet.
14) Is there somewhere we can see more of your work?
I have posted a few photo's on the NGS website, other than that just here on UHH.
15) Do you have any advice for the rest of us?
Advice - for other UHH's
If you have a question - USE THE SEARCH ENGINE - first
what a great tool. I have found the answer to most question's or been directed to a link a website that has the answer.
One more thing, I know my photo was not taken within the week of the challenge.This is probably one of my best 10 photo's I have taken, out of 20,000+. I did vote for the requirement to make it mandatory to take a challenge photo during the week of the challenge.
Good luck to all in future challenge's - Bruce

Always happy to see great photos in these contests. Congratulations to the winners. A shout out to all the contestants like myself that got zero votes. Hey, it's fun and at least we are in the game! I saw great pics among the zero club as well as through all the various ratings. It's a pleasure to be a participant with many very talented photographers.
Can someone explain how the points ratings work? I notice people with less votes can get higher points.

Please note the way voting works.
You can vote as many times as you like, but only have one (1) voting point.
If you vote for multiple entries, your (1) point gets divided among them all.

Thanks for the explanation. That clarifies it.
On another point, the thing I find most helfpul in viewing pics on sites like flickr is the exif data. Knowing what camera, lens, iso, exposure and shutter speed were used is key to understanding how results were achieved. Has anyone suggested that this info be part of the submission form so that all can learn from the photos in the contest?
