GuruShots Live Photo Challenge

This is more of an interactive and fun website rather than a serious photographer site. However, having said that, it is run by award-winning professional photographers and has some fantastic images uploaded from contributors.

The concept behind the site is for amateur and professional photographers alike to upload their own original images and receive votes to win cool prizes. All the voting is done by other contributors and the site 'Gurus'.

Uploading images to GuruShots is an easy and seamless process. Simply upload a high resolution image to the challenge of your choice, give it a title, add optional information about the photograph, click submit and you're done. Contributors can submit up to 8 photos in each challenge. The first 2 are 'freebies'. In order to upload more pics contributors are required to vote on images and share the news about GuruShots on social media via links on the site.

This is what GuruShots say about their photography challenges:

"Each GuruShots challenge is run by award-winning photographers who provide mentorship throughout as members submit images, vote/comment on each others’ work, track individual ranking progress in-real time and earn their way through Popular, Skilled, Premier, Elite and All Star levels."

It's fun and easy to enter. So why not take a look at GuruShots and give it a go. You never know, you may just win something.

The above photo of mine is ranking quite well in the current 'Perfect Compositions' challenge. It was shot using a Canon 6D camera fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens.
