A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi, I'm very much an amateur photographer and I'd really like to advance and develop my skills. I'm debating whether to enter one or two of my photographs in to competition, whether that be nationally (UK) or internationally.

I know I won't win, but I'm really after critique by more experienced and honest photographers.

Has anyone else done this, and did you gain any benefit from doing so?

Well just about all larger international and national photo competitions won't be able to offer any serious critique due to volume of entries.

Which particular events are you considering?

My advice would be to participate in smaller juried exhibitions in nearby venues or cities. In the US, the CAFE website lists these; maybe there is a UK version you can check out.
