📸In this short video, panel member Mark Lynham breaks down a real wildlife photograph and explores the details that make it stand out – from timing and composition to impact and storytelling.

One of the biggest reasons photographers improve quickly isn't buying new gear...
It's learning why an image works.

That's exactly what we do at the Guild of Photographers.

>Real image critiques

>Expert feedback from experienced photographers

>Monthly competitions to challenge yourself

>Education, mentoring and a supportive community

Tim Burgess captured this beautiful image. Tim said:

"This image is taken in Lossiemouth just before sunrise, its a 5 frame panorama with camera in portrait rotation on a tripod. Camera settings are focal length 24mm , F/11.0, 1/5s ISO 50. Looking out over the River Lossie towards the Sand dunes and beach with the remains of the old foot bridge to the left, used to reach the Beach at high tide. It was the reflection of the sky in the low river water that caught my attention."

What a cute capture, taken by Kristi Corbett! Kristi said:

"This is Nova. She just turned a year old a few days before the photo was taken.
I’ve trained all our dogs sit/stay/wait via photography. They quickly learn that a pop of the strobe means a treat is coming. Nova is also learning to keep her attention on an object. I put a red nose (from Red Nose Day - USA) on the modifier to get them to look towards the light, or anywhere else to get them to look in another direction. The ‘red nose’ is lightweight and easy to shove into a pocket is taking outdoor photos. (Easy to push onto a tree branch)
Lately I’ve been playing with different lighting setups not traditionally used for pet photography. I had my Neewer Q4 camera left with a Neewer 65cm softbox and a Westcott white/silver bounce on her left. I just recently started playing around with the 65cm modifier. My usual goto has been a 7’ Westcott umbrella. Sometimes when doing studio in clients homes they don’t have the room for a 7’ umbrella. 😁
Settings and camera gear: Sony A7iv with a Sony 70-200ii. ISO100, 200mm, f16 1/200sec."

Such a lovely concept and capture, taken by Amanda Lynch. She said:

"I took this photo as part of a series about childhood and imagination. The child in the photo is my son and this was one of his favourite sessions. We had Pirates of the Caribbean theme music playing while we took the photos and he loved that. Months later, he was still asking if we could get the suitcase out and play pirates again!"

Thanks so much for sharing with us all ☺
