It’s been a tough couple of years. You deserve a laugh. Finalists in the annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are here to lift you up with uproarious images of nature at its nuttiest. From grumpy birds to clingy raccoons, these photographers have you covered.

Just one matter that specially intrigues me is the effects of social media on photography and photographers.

My journey as a photographer began in 2008 just just before the explosion of social media. This was the heyday of forums, weblogs, and magazines if you desired to obtain wonderful pictures, you experienced to research for it.

Currently, it’s everywhere you go. Photographers are confronted with a challenge: How do we stand out? One alternative it seems can be discovered in write-up-processing.
