Imagekind Blog | Buy, Sell, Create and Discuss Art

We’ve all seen it. Heck, whether an amateur or professional, we’ve all probably fallen victim to it ourselves. That’s right, the PSHS - Photographer’s Shaky Hand Syndrome.

Natalie Norton, over at dps, shares How to Reduce Camera Shake - 6 Techniques and end those unintentionally blurry photographs. You don’t need a tripod or other special equipment to pull off her techniques, just some trusty appendages.

I thought it would be a helpful resource for all the photography artists here at Imagekind and wanted to share it.

60 Photography Links You Can’t Live Without

Stuck In Customs, the photo blog of our own Trey Ratcliff, gets a nice mention as being “probably the best known HDR artist out there. He creates amazing, artistic HDR creations.”

And surprise, the authors love Flickr and share some sick Flickr tools and widgets.

Does Brian Auer ever sleep? He seems to always have something new going on!

It is really amazing to see how some of our innovative member artists come up with new ways to show and sell their work. Brian Auer has collected seven fine art photographers to help contribute with his endeavor to increase the world’s collection of breathtaking photography. As Brian explains in the Fine Art Photo Blog Press Release,

…seven internationally acclaimed fine art photographers work together, publishing a work of fine art photography daily; every day another photographer, each photographer once per week. The works will be up for purchase in two variants…as high-quality but unsigned prints… [and] …as definitive and collectible signed prints.

We at Imagekind are amazed at the level of quality and artistic ability each of these seven photographers exhibit and posses. Each of the artist has the choice where their print orders are fulfilled and we are thrilled and honored at many of the artist’s choice to select Imagekind for this function.

We are proud that our quality is superior enough for such amazing photographers to choose that their spectacular images be printed with us! It is truly amazing how artists are utilizing Imagekind’s print-on-demand service to build their own art businesses.
