Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 01 10:53 pm)
want to thank you for selecting one of my images this week, I feel EXTREMELY honored to see one of my photos featured among all thoses awesome photographs.
Thanks also for explaing how you guys proceed to select images... I can imagine how difficult it must be to pick only a few when there are so many beautiful photos to look at in the gallery but I think you all make a great team, your selections are always a pleasure to look at and they've made me discover many wonderful artists.

Congratulations to all!
I am not going to mention any names, else I may leave out excellent nominations. You all did extremely well but allow me to have a special encouraging message to the newer Renderosity members.
May this inspire you to do even better.
Thank you for the excellent informal way in which you explained the process Bruce.

Thanks for the explanation! (I just love information!) :) I don't envy you the task of picking which images go in LWITG every week. That has to be a tough job! I love this feature, and appreciate all the hard work the staff puts in every week.
Another marvellous compilation! Congrats to everyone who's had their work represented this week!

I always wondered how you selected the LWitG photographs, so thanks for the info. Now I know lol. And what a great selection of photographs this time around. Some I seen and some I missed. That's why I always check LWitG. So thanks for a great presentation. And congrats to everyone selected. Excellent work.

Once again, we have a fine collection of images selected by our staff.
I think we have a nice balance of new and established artists.
You can see the full collage with links HERE.
I think it's appropriate to give out a little information about the process.
Currently, Kort is taking some time off, and David is experiencing computer issues.
So, that leaves myself, Shari and Piet to select the images. You can do the math..It's 10 images for each of us to select.
In the past we had rules about a specific number of images each day, we don't do that anymore.. I feel it's better for the staff to have flexibility to select images..There are days when there are a lot "WOW" images..There are days when we struggle to make a selection.(at least I know I do)
We try to divide up up evenly among the staff..When people get busy or have other pressing issues, we shift the numbers around..
We select the images from Sunday through Saturday. That way each day of the week is represented.
So, the next question is what do we look for in an image?
I can say this much for sure...It has NOTHING to do with Views, comments or ratings.
Some of you may remember the old HOT 20...which ranked images by Views, comments and ratings..It was a train wreck..If you had a lot of friends, you were at the top of the list.
Please don't think I'm saying there is anything wrong with having a lot of friends who comment on your work..If you do..more power to ya !!
What we look for is excellent photography. We look for photo's that have that certain "something".
Photo's that stand out.
We also look for the "hidden gems"... images that deserve a second look..
When I started this a few years ago..We waited till the end of the week then looked for images that has less than a set number of comments..Nice idea..but it made it tough, and it put the staff under some pressure to do it "all at once"
Try looking back at a weeks worth of images !!!
We try to find a balance between established photographers and new emerging artists.
We don't select the same artist more than two weeks in a row.
I wasn't part of the Photo staff when this started...It is my understanding that the idea was to select image that "deserves a second look"
WE still strive for that..But, I almost feel like LWITG is bigger than us...It's kinda evolved and taken on a life of it's own...
One thing I do have to brag about...is we are now at week 32 and we have a collage for EVERY SINGLE WEEK....and a record of it !!!!!
If you have ANY QUESTIONS...feel free to drop me a line...
