How ExpertPhotography.com Steals Content And Outranks Everyone

ExpertPhotography Homepage

It does not take a lot of effort to start a new site and crank out a boatload of content, if all you are doing is copying your competition. With the photography market on the decline, a number of photography websites have already gone through their demises. And what’s left is being attacked by some very dishonest individuals and media companies that exploit search engines to move themselves up the ranks. These websites are copycats – they crank out content on a daily basis solely for traffic, they have no communities and they have no real following. One such website is ExpertPhotography.com. In this article, we will take a look at how ExpertPhotography shamelessly stole numerous articles from Photography Life and other websites, and how it quickly climbed the ladders of search engines, even managing to surpass the ranking of the original content.

Mobile Photography: 36 Amazing Photos Taken with a Cell Phone

At Clickin Moms, we are always thinking of new contests, challenges, and exercises to strengthen our photographic skills while having fun and making friends. One of our favorite traditions is the monthly forum contest. We announce a new theme at the beginning of the month and Clickin Moms members share what they were inspired to capture.

In October, the Clickin Moms community worked to create images for the theme of “Mobile Photography.” We wanted to see how you capture the world with the camera you almost always have right at your side.

Today we are sharing some of our very favorites for you to enjoy here – every photo taken with a mobile phone. We are thrilled to congratulate Aly Nickerson for her winning shot (above) that has earned her a live Breakout session from Click Photo School!

The Myth of “Exposing to The Left”

Fujifilm-GFX-100-Image-Sample-6

You are probably familiar with the Exposing to the Right (ETTR) technique, where an image is intentionally captured as bright as possible in order to maximize the potential of a digital camera sensor. I recently came across some forum posts and articles on other resources that talk about Exposing to The Left (ETTL) and its benefits. In this article, I want to point out why ETTR is the only proper way to get good exposure from a digital camera and why terms like ETTL do not make any sense.
