A buckle is the sassy sister of a crisp, a crumble, and a cobbler. Charmingly old-fashioned, it’s a single-layer cake with cut-up fruit in the batter that give it a “buckled” or indented appearance—sort of like a fruit-filled coffee cake with a crumbly topping.⁠

Virginia Living Photography Awards - JUDGE TIPS 🌟⁠
Photography Wisdom 📸⁠
⁠
Virginia Living photographer and contest judge Sera Petras shares three essential tips for photographers:⁠
⁠
1. Carry your camera everywhere. "Inspiration has a way of showing up when you least expect it. Keeping your camera with you means you'll always be ready to capture those fleeting, unscripted moments that can turn into your most meaningful work."⁠
2. Embrace all kinds of light. "It's easy to chase 'perfect light,' but don't shy away from harsh or dramatic lighting. Strong light and angular shadows can add depth, energy, and unexpected beauty to your images."⁠
3. Seek feedback, but trust your vision. "When submitting work for contests, narrow down your strongest images and invite trusted peers to weigh in. But remember, the final choice should always reflect your own artistic voice."⁠

Sandwiched between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Alleghenies to the west, the Star City has gained a reputation in recent years as one of the East Coast’s top hubs for outdoor recreation—and its 30-plus-mile greenway network has much to do with the accolades.⁠

Virginia Living Photography Awards - JUDGE'S WISDOM 💡⁠
⁠
Stephanie Heinatz of Consociate Media shares advice that every photographer needs to hear:⁠

You have to be out in the world to share and show stories from our world. Soak it all up. That's where fresh ideas and creativity come alive, Heinatz says.⁠
⁠
This weekend, instead of scrolling through inspiration online, go find it. Walk your neighborhood. Visit that place you've been meaning to photograph. The best shots aren't planned—they're discovered.⁠
⁠
