Have you joined our Platypod Users OFFICIAL Facebook Group yet? If not, you’re truly missing out on some fantastic tips, tricks and content from your fellow artists! We’d like to encourage you to join (and share with a friend) to see how we recommend you use your Platypod gear and how we use our Platypod Ecosystem of products.
Within our page, you’ll find a lot of inspiration and may even try a few new shots that you may not have considered trying previously. We hope some of this inspiration will make you want to share your final capture, BTS shot, your URL where viewers can see more of your work and a little bit of copy describing your setup with the rest of the members of the group.
Especially if there is a final capture that you want to share, please tag Gilmar Smith and/or myself (Eryka Bagwell) for a chance to be featured on our blog, newsletter and/or social media pages. This will reach many other artists in the field and will help broaden your exposure as well.
