“Crown Fountain” by group member duna12

One of the best ways to learn about photography is through the viewing, critiquing, and engaging of photos from fellow photographers. And for better or worse, Flickr houses the largest collection of publicly accessible photography in the world.

“I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.” — Gary Winogrand

A few weeks ago, we launched Caliber on Flickr — a group dedicated to better understanding the world around us through discussing the photography of others.

In that short time, we’ve grown to 75 members — several of whom are very active in the discussion of the photography of our members.

“As I progressed further with my project, it became obvious that it was really unimportant to me where I chose to photograph. The particular place simply provided an excuse to produce work…you can only see what you are ready to see — what mirrors your mind at that particular time.” — George Tice

How does this pool work? Each submission needs to be approved by an Admin or Moderator before being accepted to the pool. Members can add up to 1 photo each day, from anywhere in the world.

Would you like to participate? Great! Something to consider when you submit an image…ideally it is a shot that you are very proud of or one that means something special to you. You do not have to submit every day, but only when you feel you’ve seen and shot something beautiful with your camera.

If you are interested in submitting to our group, we’d love to see what you are seeing. You can click here to get started.
