WaterPixels has always been about community—sharing work, comparing notes on gear, and celebrating images that stop you mid-scroll. We’ve refreshed the home page to put those images, conversations, and shared knowledge at the centre. A home page built around the communityWe’ve made more room for what makes WaterPixels yours: Featured photographs from the monthly Showcase, with photographer credits and a full-image viewer Our partners and affiliates Latest articles, community conversations, and the Showcase mosaic Clear paths into the forums, gallery, marketplace, and ways to support the community We’ve also refreshed About, bringing together our story and the people who keep WaterPixels going: the team, partners, and supporting members. It’s the same WaterPixels, with more of the community on show. Members Showcase: how the monthly cycle worksAt the heart of home is something the community already does well: enjoy each other’s photographs and choose which ones deserve the spotlight. Here’s how to take part: Upload to ShowcaseEach calendar month, you can add up to five images to Showcase. Member albums stay personal and unlimited; Showcase is the shared monthly pool. Review ShowcaseOpen Member Showcase Review, browse the photographs, and like those you’d love to see featured. You can also pass and move on to the next image. Your likes determine the results. See the monthly placementsOn the 1st of each month, we tally the previous month’s Showcase likes to determine first, second, and third place. First place earns Members Choice and leads the home-page hero. Second and third place rotate through the same space, each with full photographer credit. The results come directly from members’ likes. A quieter month may have fewer placements, but every month is an opportunity to discover someone’s work and help it reach more people. Upload a few favorites, spend a little time browsing, and give the photographs you admire a like. Together, you decide which images welcome everyone to WaterPixels. Start here: Review Showcase Partners, affiliates, and community supportWe’re pleased to welcome OM System as our first affiliate partner, and we’re working to bring more affiliates and partners on board. The refreshed site also introduces more advertising opportunities for brands that want to reach and support the underwater imaging community. If you’re interested in a partnership or advertising placement, please get in touch. That support helps keep WaterPixels a free, worldwide home for underwater photography, video, gear discussions, travel, and the marketplace, with member images and conversations at its centre. What we’d love from youUpload a few Showcase images this month. Review and like photographs you’d love to see featured. Explore About and tell us what feels right—and what still needs polish. Support the community however you can: shop, donate, share your knowledge, or simply join a conversation. One passion. One community. Endless inspiration.
