G+ Photographers Under 12k Contacts I'm trying to "discover" new photographer contacts on G+.  My list of 14 from CircleCount grew to 23 this morning, and is now up to 44... Who else would you recommend for the next update?

Top 1000 Photographers on G+ This week Charles Lupica updated his circles of photographers with the most contacts on G+.  Once I find out where his circles end, I may  raise the 12k contact cutoff for my "New to G+" photographer circle to have it include the "best of the rest". Originally shared by Charles Lupica           Top 1000 most followed active         photographers sharing content on G+                   Circle One: J to Z This  is the second of two circles,  The first was shaerd on 16 May here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103236949470535942612/posts/FPsHj9E2QEo .  The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers and shared at different times to help keep down the stream saturation.  Please plus, comment and share.  This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated.  It has been two weeks since I announced my intent to update my circle of the 500 m

Tout Gets Glass Last Fall I told you about a new site Tout.com which was featuring 15 second videos, essentially "the Twitter of video updates".  Lately I've been noticing a high number of short videos produce using Google Glass.   I took a look at Tout's Featured videos ( http://www.tout.com/featured ) and found two Glass users in the first 10 videos, such as from kate harris of the The New York Times: http://www.tout.com/m/lb9qvs?ref=fbfny36o Tout will make a great platform for quick updates and snippets of POV (Point of View) videos shot with Google Glass. Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Time-lapse video clips from a snowy sunrise earlier this week at Topaz Lake, Eastern Sierra Nevada.  The flashes which seem like exposure changes are actually snow blowing in front of the camera!   http://www.tout.com/m/5zcf81 http://www.tout.com/m/5zcf81

"Cream of the Crop" Photographers Under 10K Contacts 14 photographers from yesterday's Cream of the Crop circle by  CircleCount:  - less than 10,000 followers - more than 10 +1's or reshares in average for the last 50 posts CircleCount was kind enough to determine the intersection of that CoC circle with photographer circles by Thomas Hawk Charles Lupica Robert SKREINER Joe Vallee Rinus Bakker and Peter From. There are two more photographers in there for 16 total because I added David Safanda and Bryan Nabong, each under 2k contacts but producing some really nice work.   I can already see that I've missed some nice photographers, like Mark Hammon... who would you recommend for the next pass... a circle of the best emerging photographers on G+ with under 10k contacts?

Interesting People on G+ Want to discover interesting new people on G+?
