Ten Tips for Nature PhotographersThis article came about after a deviant specifically requested that we write ten clear, simple tips for Photographing Nature. Troubleshooting articles and information can be very useful, but sometimes breaking it down into manageable memorable chunks is so much easier. So without further ado please enjoy our Ten Tips for Nature Photographers!

1) Get into your environment

Yes, it's rhubarb. To be a true photographer, you must be at one with rhubarb.
When we talk about photographing Nature, we don't necessarily mean wide expansive rolling landscapes. Whilst they contain any number of elements that are nature focused and made up from natural resources - Nature Photography is about getting into your environment and getting up close and personal with these elements. So think of it like you are Photographing the components that make up that beautiful lan

Project Educate: See the light and remember it
See the light and remember it

Lighting in photography is a living, changing art. One of the most important abilities of a photographer is to see light and to remember it. Light is the most changing element in our daily life. We move among solid objects and among people who do not change drastically during a day or a week. But visually the appearance of our environment and of people around us may change from one hour to the next due to the time of day, the weather, or the particular source of light. Photographers are aware of these changes and store in their memory the impact different types of light have on our emotions and our subconscious. For a photographer, watching the light becomes second nature.
Some of the photographer's palette of tools:
-The angle of light
-Quality (hard or soft)
-Color
-Intensity

Just because you shot it in the street...JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOT IT IN THE STREET IT DOESN'T MAKE IT "STREET PHOTOGRAPHY"
Street Photography is a largely misunderstood and misinterpreted photography genre http://myraincheck.deviantart.com/art/Statistics-on-Street-Photography-371453155 .
So, let's try to kill the most common misunderstandings:
Street photography is not photography of (empty) streets and it is not necessarily a photo taken in a street.
Street photography most definitely is not photography of your All Stars shoes in the street, it is not photography of your cat, or of graffiti or 'street art' (that's another genre of photography), it is not photography of your friends or family on trip.
Let's see some attempts to define street photography:
"The essence of street photography is the impulse to take candid pictures in the stream of everyday life" (from 'Street photography Now').

" For the most part, however, the photographers discussed in these pages have tried to work without being noti

Project Educate: Photography RoundupThank you for joining us on a week of General Photography Education! Below is a roundup of all the articles written across the past seven days - a great mix of bits and pieces so hopefully there's something for everybody.

Thanks to this weeks contributors ^3wyl ^1pen and =dienutza

Complications with CompositionI love seeing results on the camera screen, and through the lens. Often after I've taken a photo, I can't wait to get home and see it on the computer screen too. But my pet peeve is the maths and numbers behind getting it spot on. I can't deal with that, I loathe it, and actually it takes the fun out of Photography (for me anyway!) I know that some people love the technical details, I think that's why ~TouchedD and I work so well - he does the figuring out, I do the seeking for the shot - but if you're purely a creative type with no passion for delving into technicalities then hopefully this article will be able to help you.
You will find countless articles, tips, tutorials and theories on Composition. Many will throw advice and instruction at you before you can even press the shutter on your camera. In truth though, it can be much more basic than that. Before you take a photograph, think about why you're taking the shot. I know this doesn't work everytime, because often (like me)

Fix that Miscat! ~Fashion Photography V.CommercialThere often seems to be some confusion over whether your Fashion Photography belongs in Photography -> People & Portraits -> Fashion Portraits or Photography -> Commercial Photography -> Fashion. Unlike other galleries that we are slowly defining and educating on through this series of articles, the difference between these two is quite clear cut and there are certain aspects of your Photography that will dictate where it should go. Have a read through the article and hopefully that will clear up some things if you were previously confused!
What are Fashion Portraits?
Photography -> People & Portraits -> Fashion Portraits

Fashion Photography is a genre of Photography that's dedicated to showcasing clothing and other items such as accessories i.e. shoes, scarves, hats, j

Urbex #10What I found particularly interesting about this weeks Urbex topic, is the fact that two popular art genres, at least here on deviantART, have been combined. I came across an article about Urban Explorer Jared Lim who photographs not only under-appreciated, un-seen and forgotten places - but also who makes Abstract Art from them. From my time as a CV in the Abstract and Surreal Community, I've learned quite strongly that you can make Abstract Art from anything, but I would never have associated it with Urban Exploration. Just goes to show...So anyway, this weeks features are along that theme. They hold repeated shapes and patterns amongst the more obvious theme...

The Underappreciated-Beauty: Green TonesHello again!

Enjoy!

The importance of photographyI want to start this post with a question: Why is photography so special, why is it so important to all of us?
Well, there is more than one answer to that question. But, I want to put all focus into one reason in particular: memories.
We live our life and go through various things, and it all passes so quickly, time flies. We remember certain moments of our life,
but others we forget. So, what can we do, how can we find a way to always remember something? Photography is the answer.
An event happens but as soon as it's over, it can never be repeated again. In my view, photography is a perfect way to capture something
you will never be able to live again. When you take a picture of something, it lives forever, it is eternal.
Just look at it like this: It's your birthday, graduation, prom night, engagement, wedding, the birth of your child and so on..
Of course, these are events that you will always remember, but wouldn't you want something to remember them by?
Photos are yo

How to make your photographs good good in FacebookRecently some of the people who follow our work have been asking us the same question agian and again
What do you guys do to make your photos look so HQ in Facebook?
Well the only good news that we can give you is that it is not your fault.
Facebook has this "skill" for ruining the quality of the photos, which makes them seem not to "Clean".
Then what can you do to avoid this? ..
The quality of photography must be high!
The first thing you need to do is save your picture in the highest quality possible!
Why should I do that ? Is because Facebook itself will reduce the picture and it will reduce the quality aswell.
Surely you've noticed how bad will look the photographs when zooming after you saved them from Facebook,
Facebook will change the quality of photography anyway, but if we give the best picture quality then the chances to be
" dirty/LQ " will be smaller, but not minimal, because Facebook has this black magic that will always be uppon your pho
