Spring has a way of inspiring artists, and photographers are no different. Many a shutterbug will be dusting off their camera gear right about now.

What’s in a season? Showcase your best spring photography in the second round of Shutterbug’s Time of the Season photo contest for your chance to win $500 cash, a Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens; Sony Alpha a6400 mirrorless camera, Slik Carbon Fiber CF-834 Tripod with the PBH-45LP Ball Head, Skylum Luminar AI Guru Bundle photo editing software, and a Standard 53 camera strap with Quick Release from Lucky Camera Straps.

How long has it been since you cleaned out your camera equipment bag? Take a look right now. If you’re still hanging on to gear that you haven’t used in the past six months (six weeks for truly active photographers) it may be time to shed the old or underused stuff and buy the equipment you need to expand your abilities—and your portfolio. This is where MPB, the online platform to buy, sell or trade used photo and video gear, can help.

One of the most appealing aspects of macro photography is that you can find subjects virtually anywhere: local parks, in your yard, even inside your garage or home.

This season presents a perfect chance to upgrade your photography equipment, and Tamron is offering enticing promotions on their high-quality lenses.

Lightroom Classic can be a powerful tool for photographers—I myself use it extensively!—but when it comes to organizing large catalogs, it can also be slow, tedious, and downright frustrating. 

We teamed up with GuruShots once again for another fabulous photo challenge. This time the theme was "Tell A Story" where we asked photographers to submit a captivating image that conveyed a tale of some kind.
