in #hive-142821last year

Hey there, people, passioned about Photography!

The purpose of this journal is to bring a dose of inspiration to all of us, searching for it. Here is the latest journal of the "Photographic Society" community on HIVE.

Have you heard of The Leica Oskar Barnack Award?

The LOBA competition exists since 1979. That was the year in which Oskar Barnack, the developer of the Ur-Leica and whose name is given to the competition, would have been 100 years old.

It is a very prestigious photographic contest, the main Award is endowed with 40,000 euros in prize money and Leica camera equipment valued at 10,000 euros; the Newcomer Award-winner receives 10,000 euros and a Leica Q3. Additionally, both winning and shortlisted series become part of a large touring exhibition.

That sounds awesome, right?

Now here is the main winner for 2023, Ismail Ferdous with his series called "Sea Beach". You could check the gallery and announcement here: https://www.leica-oskar-barnack-award.com/en/winners/winner-2023-ismail-ferdous.html

Why should you post in the Photographic Society?

Well, let's put that down in the shortest way possible. The other photo-related communities ask for your photos and stories along. Such posts are welcome here too but the focus of this virtual group is to discuss our thoughts about Photography itself. For instance, talk about equipment, ask for advice, give criticism, and share photo news, monetizing opportunities, concepts, found photographs, techniques, stock agencies, experience in the field, photo NFTs, etc. The list is long.

Did you get the idea? If yes, what are you waiting for? Start posting today!


Our mission is to make this community on HIVE more popular and potentially attract Twitter users to join the platform, so please follow us on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/photosochive

We share manually selected posts on Twitter! But that's not all. On Twitter we search for other photographers and photo lovers over there, to appreciate and share, and admire their work. There are other plans too, for other initiatives. Both here and on Twitter. Researching other social networks is in progress as well.

Can we support each other, sharing the same passion? The future will show that!

This post is 100% Power Up.
