Jorge. I was notified by email that there is a post under one of my images, but I can't seem to see or find anything. How do I read the message?

Switch the dark theme to a more widely accepted colors pallet for photo galleries. Let me know what you think. JT

Just wanted to update you on the new Featured Photographer section of the site. Every now and then a photographer comes along that demonstrates great talent in his or her photography. The featured Photographer section allows us to view these selected photographers and their work. Please take some time and browse their [url=featured]Photos[/url] for some amazing work.

I have searched and searched to find a 'Comment Box' and the 'Technical Details' of photos on this and all the other Family of Sites and only this morning found out HOW ! When you open the 'Photos' section look at a snap and on Bottom RIGHT there are some horizontal Stripes - click on those and a Box comes up for Comments and another bit where you can read the Technical Details so now I can 'Comment' on a few and hope I in turn get 'Comments' as I take AGES typing in all the Details !

We have a winner. The 2023 Zeiss / Zeissimages contest has come to an end and a winner has been selected.  This year, we had the great honor of having the photos judged by professional photographer Andrew Innerarity. Andrew has been a staff photographer for media giants such as The Houston Chronicle, Miami Herald, St petersburg Times just to name a few and has traveled the world on photographic assignments.  With that said, Andrew has chosen the photo titled "Holy Light" as this year's winning photograph. The photograph exhibits properties in composition, lighting and subject isolation while keeping the entire frame interesting and engaging. A big congrats to the winner Jochen Bongaerts  www.zeissimages.com/member/6155 Please take a moment to view the photo and leave your comments here www.zeissimages.com/photo/3000340 https://www.zeissimages.com/gallery/6155/sml_U6155.1702557131.2.jpg Thank you all for your participation and we look forward to the next contest!

The contest is now closed. A winner will be chosen soon. Thank you for your participation. JT

I come from a background in photojournalism where a photograph submitted for publishing is compared to the original source to see if the photograph has been manipulated into a photo-illustration. What is the definition of a photograph for the contest? Straight out of the camera, minor editing or anything goes? Just curious.

What are your thoughts on my story: Almanac of memories I just published? Would love to hear your feedback.

I'm lost...where exactly do I find the link to upload my pictures for the contest..and I couldn't find anything in the rules about the min. and max. size of an uploaded file.

A fine arts section has been added to the classifieds which allows you to post your artwork for sale. The quick search is available from the top menu under [b]Market[/b]. This is free to use for our members. Since this is a new feature, maybe you can be the first to post your art for sale here.

Greetings. The comments section has been a little slow lately. I remember when comments where plenty on a daily basis. But maybe things are changing on the web these days. I like to comment but tend to hold off during contest time so I do not show any favoritism. Regardless, would love to see what people think of the photos and the best way is to leave comments.

Please let us know how you found out about Zeissimages. It helps us understand where we are getting exposure. Thanks

I tried looking for a few lenses to add to my list of lenses. I couldn't find what I was looking for and I couldn't find a way of adding them to my list. How do you go about adding a lens that is currently not listed? Thans

Here is one of my favorites https://www.zeissimages.com/gallery/794/U794I1374698455.SEQ.0.jpg Show us yours.

I am so stoked about the new ZF. I can't wait for my ZF in black to arrive. I think this will be one of those game changing cameras in todays digital world. So much so that today I have created nikon-zf.com just for the ZF series cameras. I am jealous of those who have theirs already. Otherwise, I would be posting my own ZF pictures. So. I humbly ask that if you own a ZF and wouldn't mind sharing a few pictures on www.nikon-zf.com please do. This is day 1 and there is nothing for me to share yet . https://www.nikon-zf.com/gallery/1/U1.1698020740.0.jpg

If you are a blogger, reviewer or run a store that sells camera lenses consider becoming a sponsor and taking advantage of the crosslink feature. The crosslink features lets you direct traffic to your site specific page based on the lens you cross link. For example, if you wrote a review or are blogging about the Zeiss 50mm Makro Planar you would create a crosslink to your page about the lens. When someone views a photo taken with linked lens, they will see an info box that states "Learn more about this lens from our sponsor". Your name will be listed as a clickable link that directs the user to the page you setup. Have a look at this photo: https://www.zeissimages.com/photo/500487 and you will see a crosslink in action. You can also direct it to your store as well. Like in this photo: https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/403580 Send us an email and we will get you set up!

You can provide simple links to your profile with zessimages.com in the url to make it easy to share on other sites by simply prefixing with your username. For example http://jt.zeissimages.com will go directly to my profile page. [b]Do NOT[/b] put https in the link as it will not pass the security test and throw a warning. You can use http which will redirect to https for you. If you have a dot in your name, then just remove the dot. For example, a user name with john.doe would just be jondoe JT
