a1 Photo Tips

Behold this picture of a mountain goat, standing in a seemingly impossible position!

You may ask: “How on earth did it get there?” and “How is it ever going to get down safely!?”

According to the photographer, the goat was licking on the rock and kept doing that for hours.

Note how the animal is positioned in the image so that we clearly see the sheer drop beneath it, yet we are left wondering how it could get to this spot.

Now to the fame part: This picture (by “wildphotons“) is uploaded to Flickr.com by the photographer. Someone then submitted the photograph to Digg.com - and it got “Digged” several hundred times!

When something gets digged so many times, it makes it to the first page of Digg.com for at least a couple of hours, and is then seen by maybe hundreds of thousands of people. So indeed this mountain goat got instant fame - for a couple of hours…

Digg.com is one of the 300 most visited sites on the entire Internet, according to Alexa.

You too can try your luck on getting attention for your most eye-catching pictures by following this formula:

1. Upload picture to your account on Flickr
2. Have it submitted to Digg
3. Wait and see what happens…

Don’t even bother with this unless your picture is really spectacular and something of a conversation piece. The Digg audience is only interested in really entertaining, off-the-wall stuff.

Good Luck!
