Whether photography is a passionate hobby or a professional job, when we all start out with our first cameras we are all a bit clueless. Generally, we start in “auto” mode and just start snapping.

We want to see the urban places and photos around the state. With two of the major cities on the opposite ends of our states, there are several urban locations to get creative with. All photos must be entered on Instagram and tagged with #NJspotsUrban.
The Best of 2018 Photo Contest was the first of it’s kind. Normally the NJspots contests are running on Instagram, but we wanted to open up the competition to be bigger than just Instagram users. With 126 photo entries, 3539 votes, and over 36,250 views this was one of the greatest contests we have hosted. The NJspots Team wants to take a moment and THANK YOU for all your support and great participation during the contest! Now onto our winners! (more…)

This past weekend, NJspots was pleased to host another GREAT meetup in Jersey City for the Sunrise on Saturday, March 30th. With about 25-30 attendees, we had some great laughs, photos, and conversations floating around all morning. (more…)
