PixBoomBa Posts Assignments
At PixBoomBa.com we create easy-to-understand tips to help photographer make better pictures. We always include pictures of our own to demonstrate each tip. Now we are getting a little help from our friends. You can submit pictures to our new ASSIGNMENT galleries. We are giving you assignments to go out and prove your mettle. Entries will be put in a GALLERY for all the world to see. We will post images we particularly like in PixBoomBlog, making comments about how and why they worked—what it is that struck us. We will also post pictures that didn't quite work and explain why. Some will even make it onto PixBoomBa's home page, with great kudos to the photographer.
