It's a WRAP! Enjoy the Picturebook and we'll see you for Cycle 4 in the Fall after SIFF

Very often people are asking Midnight how he did this or that for his photos, so this is your chance to learn some of his tricks. Midnight has produced dozens of stories that demonstrate exceptional Sims3 photography, all without the use of any custom content. He uses real game actions and cheats, and a little bit of subtle editing. Learn all of his tricks here at his Photography School - but be sure to be up for the challenge. This is sure to be a rigourous learning experience, but you are guaranteed to learn many new tricks and skills along the way.

Music Mania was a blast! So here is just a very small selection of the great submissions from this assignment, while our simtographers wrap up their submissions for Assignment 5 and wait eagerly for the finale!

Ok, I know - we are a bit late getting this up and a  bit behind on scoring assignment 4 but not to worry, everything is running along smoothly and the simtographers are proving to be up to the challenge as they work away at assignment five now. So to keep your interest piqued, here are a few fun photos from assignment 3 - Clean House.

Assignment Two has wrapped up with another round of fantastically creative submissions.

Don't forget to check out your favourite Simtographer's Portfolio to see the full collection of

photos from assignment two - Dangerous Intentions.

In an attempt to give more show time to our Simtographers we've been working on archiving and organizing the photo galleries. As I get through them I'll drop by and share some of our photo memories along the way, starting with the first few Shutterbugs Assignments from our first year - 2009. We've come a long way since then, but even in the beginning we were seeing some fab and fun photos.  Have a peek at the Shutterbugs Assignments Archive Album HERE.

Our first assignments were Babes, Autumn Hike, Party Time and Architecture

Photo Gallery Updates

Thank you to all of the Simtographers that took time to update your photo albums.  All albums updated in March have been bumped up to the first page. In an ongoing commitment to promoting and supporting your creations we will attempt to review the galleries at the end of each month, bumping updated albums to the top for better exposure. We are also hoping to showcase one current Simtographer each month, starting with two selected to be featured in our upcoming Simatography Magazine - keep your eyes out for that soon.

Albums with 3 or fewer photos will eventually be added to a single "Random Member Photos" album so if you have any straggling albums that you want to preserve be sure to combine them into other albums with more photos.

We have some amazing talent here in the photography department so we are working on some ideas to showcase this great talent - watch for another round of Shutterbugs Challenge coming soon.
