In order to submit articles to XposurePro, you must be a registered member. Registration is free. If you would like to create an account click here. Registration will give you instant access to all features on this site, including the photography community.

Articles will need to be approved by an admin before going live on the website. For an article to be approved it must meet these requirements.

  • Article must contain 100% original content that has not, and will not, be published anywhere else online. You agree that the article will remain on this site indefinitely.

  • Images must be 552 pixels wide and belong to you or meet the appropriate Creative Commons usage.

  • The articles content must be accurate and in english. If you don't know anything about spot metering, don't attempt to write an article about spot metering.

  • The articles subject matter must not be similiar to a recentely posted article. If you provide a new approach to the subject of an existing article, we will consider it or post it at a later time.

  • Do not bother attempting to insert code that will create popups, advertising, etc. The code will be removed from the article before going live on the site.

 

This is a new feature on XposurePro. Our online article editor contains many features you do not need to worry about at this time. You only need to write the article, insert any images you might want to include and save the article. Don't bother with the options in the Publishing or Metadata sections. An admin will take care of this info and any special text formating before approving the article. We will write a tutorial at a later time for those who wish to use the advanced features when submitting articles.

What Type of Article Should I Submit?

As you might already know, XposurePro is still a new site. This leaves you a lot of opportunities to write fresh content. The main thing we are looking for is articles that the community can learn from. We have a nice mix of beginners, intermediate photographers and career professionals. So, tips and lessons of any skill level is welcome.

If you have an article in mind but we don't have a category for it yet, go ahead and submit it. We will be adding new categories as new content becomes available.

Make sure that your article is accurate and clearly explains the subject matter you are approaching.

What Should I Not Submit?

Please do not submit equipment, website or product reviews. We have a much more advanced system in mind for reviews that will be developed at a later date.

Once again, please submit articles that clearly teach a lesson. Articles that drag on for several paragraphs about your personal experiences/opinions, show off your photography and then finally point out one small little bit of information, will probably not get published. There's plenty of oppurtunities for this type of activity in your community profile and photo galleries.
