Dear friends,
In this special moment of the year when we celebrate the Feast of Feasts we want to wish you Blessed and joyful Easter. Good health and many occasions to take beautiful photos which you can share with us.
We hope that this difficult time will pass away quickly, but until we are locked at homes we have prepared for you some changes on the website and we believe soon there will be much more.

We want start with subject about Easter, if you can present on photos how it looks in your country, contact us and send some photos. Our idea is to speak about different local traditions and learn more from each other. It will be also occasion to Easter online meeting for Orthodox photographers
3. Changes on the web

- we have new home page with slider in which we present some of our best photos on different subjects (current feast, interesting places, photos from exhibitions or competitions or best photos from OrthPhoto archives)
- thumbnails are much bigger now
- we are a little bit more mobile friendly, and we hope soon it will be more improvements in this field
- from today you can upload bigger photos: up to 2,5 MB, and for Easer period yo can upload 6 photos per day. Soon there will be more changes
We are looking for IT and grapchic designers who wants to work with us on current and also on new version of Orthphoto. Maybe there is someone who wish to do separate app for mobiles ? Please contact us at info@orthphoto.net
4. Social media

5. Easter Chalannge
Recently we have reached 100 000 photos There is still something to achieve (https://www.orthphoto.net/statistics.php): 500 000 comments and 2 000 000 of votes.
We want to encourage you to be more active on the site so for those who will vote on photos and write comments we prepared few photo albums from our series "Colours of Orthodoxy". As soon as we reach this number, we will send them for those who will be most active on site and who write most interesting valuable comments.
We hope you like our ideas, and you will be with us next days !
