GuruShots: Photography Game #1 17+

Overall I love the premise and I think it works well, now on to my problems with this app.
I hate the fact you have to vote to get expose, I only want to vote for photos which I like and think are great but that means I have to sacrifice my exposer. Sometimes it feels like my photos aren’t getting out there and I’ll be boosting the exposure and not seeming to get votes but I have had photos that have been guru picks and had over a thousand votes so that could just be my photo isn’t good enough so I won’t judge to hard on that point. I genuinely just think my style of photography just doesn’t work on this app and that’s fine, not everyone has to like experimental. My main flaw is that I find myself voting for every photo just to get the exposer up and I don’t like that. The app should be about photography and every photo should get the same chance and let the people decide what is good and not

This App was exactly what I needed to restore my desire to become a better photographer. For over 35 years I have dabbled having joined clubs, developed and printed my own photos, done courses etc. The reality for me though is like all skills you just need to learn and practice as often as you can. The reasons why this app works for me are
1) It sets out many different themes to get you started on thinking what to take. (Just sitting / walking around with a camera waiting for a photo to appear in front won’t work long term; you have to set out with a purpose and plan.
2) By voting you get to see a huge variety of perspectives on a topic which will in turn set something off in your mind for the future. (There is no foul in recreating an image with your own spin, it is a great learning process)
3) You give and get feed-back. Yes it can be a little tedious but like any skill you have to put the time in to improve.
4) It is a central point where an absolute novice can put a photo against a pro and win.

A last point 😓, post processing of photos has been happening since the first few was taken; it is part of the process. Learning how to do it is an essential part of the trade and can be equally enjoyable. Embrace it and don’t knock the ones that do it and win; it was already a winning contender once the shutter was pressed.

Many thanks for the review and rating! May you enjoy the game and never stop taking pictures. Thanks for being a part of our photo community and for sharing your talents!

Just started using this app. and have quite enjoyed it so far! Literally have so many photos that I take and have taken but sometimes end up doing nothing with them.

This app. Provides you with a platform that allows you to enter them into some sort of competition for free, sometimes to win in app. purchases or sometimes to win magazine exposure. Obviously the really great photos win, people that have really developed their skills and profile, but that what’s also great about using this app. The exposure you get to other photographers, all at different levels, is very useful for self critique and development.

For me this app. actually reminds me of Instagram when it first started before it lost itself. A place where people for an enthusiasm for photography can exhibit their work and appreciate others work. Great fun!
