Scotland is coming on strong

2008-12-30T23:27:00.000-08:00

There are already 10 location guides published on the Scotland site, with a further 10 under construction. This is an amazing feat in such a short period and not only are the quantities great, but the quality is also extremely impressive. Obviously Colin Campbell was the right man for the job!

Scotland is now live.

Colin Campbell has done a terrific job in getting the Scotland site up and running in a really short time. So all you Scottish landscapists finally have somewhere to post your guides, why not get over there and contact Colin with your suggestions. Colin has also written a fantastic location guide to the beaches of Elgol looking across to the spectacular Cuillin mountain range, one of the most dramatic landscapes you're likely to find anywhere, never mind the competition from the rest of Scotland.

I'm delighted to announce that Colin Campbell (aka bruiach1) has stepped up to become the admin for a Scotland site.

You can see some of Colin's work on his Flickr site at

and his website at www.caitlinphotography.webeden.co.uk/#

As I'm sure you'll all quickly realise when you follow those links we have yet another superb quality photographer joining the team.

Welcome Colin.

Two new regions added on the same day!

Clumber Park

Saltwick Bay

In fabulous quick time we now have both the Midlands region and Northern England now added to our regional sites. In the capable hands of Paul Corica and Doug Chinnery these are certain to be sites that will inspire! I'm sure you will join me in wishing these guys the best of luck with the new regions. They have both kicked off with some fabulous guides to Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire and Saltwick Bay near Whitby. Check 'em out!

Fantastic news, Doug Chinnery aka thefatcat44 has offered to establish a new site covering the English Midlands. We have agreed that the site will cover the counties of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.

Doug is a very fine photographer indeed.

Northern England site under construction.

Great news! Paul Corica (Flickr tag Corica) is hard at work building the Northern England site, I've just had a sneak preview and it's looking great. We couldn't ask for a more talented or committed landscape photographer to hold the reigns up north.

In the meantime if there are any Northerners who'd like to submit a location guide, now is the time to get your thinking caps on and you can contact Paul when the site is live.

South West England - now live!

After some impressively swift work Adam Clutterbuck has now set up the South West England Site and kicked off with a terrific location guide to the coast of Kilve in Somerset. Adam is one of the finest landscape photographers working in the UK today and as such I am delighted to welcome him to freephotoguides UK. If anyone would like to submit a location guide for this area please contact Adam via the SW site.

Welcome to Free Photo Guides for the UK

If you're a keen landscape photographer searching for new and exciting locations - this is the place for you. The UK site is only part of what will become a worldwide resource for photographers. Take a look at the
Free Photo Guide to Wales for an idea of what is coming for the rest of the UK.

In a rather more advanced state is the Australian site, which has been developing at a breathless pace, new additions almost daily and I'm sure us pommies aren't going to allow them to do a better one than us!

If you'd like to take part, whether as a contributor, regional admin or national admin for England, Scotland or Northern Ireland then please email me. It's easy, I can supply you with full details of how to complete your entry or set up a new site, linking to the worldwide network. If I can do it trust me so can you!

I have just uploaded the first Wales Free Photo Guide for Dunraven Bay, take a look, it will give you a good idea of what we're looking for.

I am setting up the UK arm of what will become a global network of Free Photo Guides. It was my good friend in Australia, Brent Pearson who had the brilliant idea to harness the incredible capabilities of the internet to create a set of tools and forums for photographers to share their favorite place with their peers.

Google's Knols (a unit of knowledge) were designed specifically to allow an author to publish an authoritative article on a particular topic. These are the fundamental building blocks of the site.

So... welcome to the Open Source Photography Guide Project. If you would like to be part of this project... you can... in a number of ways.

You can spread the word and send others to http://freephotoguidesuk.blogspot.com
You can write about your own favorite photography locations
You can collaborate with an author to improve a guide that they have already created
You can volunteer to be a country or regional administrator (to roll-up guides from your local photographers)

I look forward to hearing what you think of this project.... please spread the word... and write your own photographic guide to your favorite location. If you need a hand getting started, just email me and I'll help you get going.

Become the expert for your favorite area!

Enjoy
Rob
