More Details on the Book Project; Accepting Photo Nominations
The first collaborative activity I'd like to coordinate through the new Southern California Photography community I've created on G+ is to collect photo/location nominations for my upcoming guide book to Southern California landscape photography locations. I'd like to include as many G+ photographers as possible, perhaps as many as 15 or more. Posting photos in the community will help make the selection process manageable between you, the publisher and I.
The final book will be available in print format at 320 to 400+ pages, and also distributed in ebook format, in the series including the volume recent released by Gary Crabbe for Northern California (link below). There's a standard contributor agreement with the publisher Laurent Martres; compensation is in the form of a quantity of copies of the book, which you can sign, sell or include with sales promotions of your work to show off your accomplishment to your most valued customers.
I think that I have 99% of the locations scouted and 95% of the photos ready to go, but for a dozen or more locations either I'm missing a photo or it could be upgraded.
The area I've been able to reach the least often is the stretch of coast from Malibu to San Diego, and some inland locations there, so even where I visited, it might be good to upgrade a photo or two (like Sunset Cliffs in this album). With a few minor exceptions I'm pretty much set for Death Valley, the Eastern Sierra, Yosemite. I may or may not be done with Joshua Tree, Mojave, Kings Canyon/Sequoia; surprise me. Images showing seasonal conditions are good; wildflowers and so on.
The goal is not necessarily "art print" quality images with stunning and unique weather, the goal is to show a representative sample of the type of opportunities any photographer arriving at a location may find. That's not to say that stunning sunsets for example would be excluded, to some degree coastal locations are all about opportunities for sunset, I'm just saying that the subject has to be the site and the setting, and the type of foreground subjects which characterize it. Contributing photographers don't need to be professionals, but quality is important: unadjusted images and cell phone snapshots probably won't make the cut. Over-processed photos might not accurately represent the site.
Here's a description of that latest book in the series:
