Fluffy Water: A Guide to Long Exposure Waterscapes
Animals, Plants & Nature Week
Most of you nature photographers will have seen long-exposed waterscapes resulting in the peculiar soft aspect of water. If you haven't, or if you're not a nature photographer, here are a few examples:
In this article I will be sharing some ideas and tips which hopefully will get you interested in this kind of photography first of all; and if that marvellous personal paradigm shift takes place within you, give you the basics in achieving the sought-after results.
Who am I to dare do this ?
Well this is quite important: I'm nothing fancy, just a nature photography-loving guy with a cheap entry-level DSLR an

Vintage Cars
I was trying hard to think where I could find a nice collection of Vintage Car images when I suddenly remembered Vintagenic (https://www.deviantart.com/vintagenic) a lovely group that was brought to my attention sometime ago by Kezzi-Rose (https://www.deviantart.com/kezzi-rose) It's a fantastic group if you are into Vintage Photography but in particular there is a wonderful Vintage Car Gallery that is definitely worth a browse.

When photographing Vintage cars you can enhance the look by processing the image afterwards to add a dusky glow or hue. But in general vintage cars are often the subject of fashion, glamour and transportat

Gallery Descriptions: Conceptual Photos
Galleries month
Conceptual Photography is a genre in which the photographer attempts to illustrate a specific concept or idea to convey a message. Some Conceptual photographs are seemingly captured with luck or spontaneity, but, for the most part, Conceptual photographs are created carefully and strategically - deliberately. There are many ways of achieving Conceptual photographs without the use of manipulation. The featured piece below is one of the most popular Conceptual photographs on DeviantART which perfectly sums up the genre. For further educational articles check out the Conceptual Gallery at projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate)

There are four sub-categories to the Still Life Photography Gallery here on deviantART. There are plenty of places to categorise your work correctly and if you're not sure where to go then there's always the last resort of the 'Other' Category. For more information check out the Still Life Project Educate Gallery.
Still Life involves attention to detail and careful preparation in setting up various, inanimate subject matters to photograph. Things that are often taken into account are composition, lighting, inclusion of props and more. In this sense, Still Life is very much controlled. The main aspect of Still Life to remembe

EDUARDO GAJEIRO a Portuguese photographer
Street Photography Week
Eduardo Gajeiro, born in 1923 in Sacavém, Portugal, is one of that country's best photographers. His first photograph was published on the front page of the Portuguese journal Diário de Notícias at twelve years old. Today, nearly eighty years later, he is still working as a freelance photographer.
His is a life full of amazing experiences. He worked at the Fábrica de Loiça de Sacavém in the 1940s and 1950s to document the life of its workers, heavily influencing his decision to become a photojournalist. When he was twenty years old, he collaborated with several magazines and journals inc

Lighting in Portrait Photography
People and Portraits week
Hello everyone,
I'm writing this tutorial of sorts, for all of you portrait photographers out there seeking advice about the lighting in your photographs. First off let me be clear in saying that I am no expert, or rather I do not claim to be, I sometimes do things in unusual ways, and my tips and advice are definitely not the only ones you should follow. This journal is just me giving you my take on how to get great lighting for your shots :)
1. Never shoot when the sun is at its highest peak.
Depending on where you live and your climate, this might vary, but I usually never shoot between the hours of 12-4 unles

Photojournalism The Easy Way
Photojournalism
I hope that this article finds a more extended audience than the hard-core photojournalist. To a large extent travel-vacation photography also lies within the scope of photojournalism. When one ventures out in the open with a camera, willingly or unwillingly one does point the camera at strangers, buildings, places to capture ambience and memories. Although I have never had the luxury to actually just go somewhere for the sole purpose of photography, I do a fair bit of globe trotting and take the opportunity to capture life around me when I can.
I can tell you, over the years I have made many mistakes and paid the price and i

Galleries Description - Cosplay
Gallery Descriptions
Cosplay Photography is a genre in which people showcase their costume making skills, photography and/or modelling skills, and their ability to embody a character from television, books, comics, movies, popular culture, or original designs. The complexity of the gallery is immediately noticed by the quality of the costumes portrayed, and the cosplayers themselves take the time to make them as accurate as possible. Also featured is con photography, and while generally speaking it not the cosplayer posting them, they are still an interesting look in to the culture. The Artisan Crafts > Costumery gallery also features a w

Gallery Descriptions: Horror/Macabre Photography
Gallery Descriptions
Horror/Macabre Photography is a genre in which the photographer or model(s) and makeup artists attempt to portray a eerie, creepy, disgusting or disturbing scene. The entire idea of the genre is to shock and scare, and generally create a feeling of unease. Horror/Macabre photography is an acquired taste, as some of the images captured are ideologically sensitive, brutal, and can be hard on the stomach or the eyes. To qualify for the horror/macabre photography gallery the same rules apply as to all photography submissions, which includes minimal editing and manipulation, which in turn brings about spectacular creativity wh

Masters of Darkroom
Darkroom Photography
The first photograph created was an image produced in 1826 by Nicephore Niepce. He did this on a polished pewter plate covered with a petroleum derivative called Bitumen of Judea. The image required an eight hour exposure time in bright sunshine. We've come so far since those days and those lengths of times to achieve an amazing image - but at the same time it's great to give a nod to the past, learn the basics from the basics and turn to the masters of their field for some inspiration and reminders about just how rewarding Darkroom photography can be.

Hello all!
Yuukon (https://www.deviantart.com/yuukon) here for Abstract & Surreal Photography weekend!
Today, I am here to show you a set of abstract and surreal photographs through the eyes of artists who are not familiar with the works. I have asked a group of awesome people to share their thoughts and feelings when seeing these works.
When you are unfamiliar with abstract and surreal photography, it can be confusing, strange and weird, but once you look at them closely, you'll see how amazing these shots are. I promise you it will definitely be worth the ride!
Enjoy!

Project Ed Tutorials: Photography
Photography In a sense feels like it would be simple enough for the most part.
You use the device in your hands to look at something and you press a button to capture the image you want.
That's the gist of it, but there's considerably more to it than that, especially if you want to take something that accurately represents your intentions.
For Project Educate, I'll be featuring some deviation tutorials on Photography that I like and hope that you yourself will find useful as a budding, seasoned or humbled expert photographer.
They will be broken down in the form of Technical and Creative tutorials. Some will be focused on numbers and basi

So you don't want to or can't go out but you still want to take some macro photographs? Fear not! We have some solutions for you!
Think textures
Indoor photography can be as interesting as outdoor photography. Think of the place you live like a location waiting for you to be examined!
Take the time to notice the different fabrics of your clothes: which ones look the most interesting to you? Pay attention to your walls with all the different colours, holes, bumps.... What about your decorative items with different colours and rich textures? Or your gemstones? Or the shape or insides of your fruits and veggies? The possibilities are just endle
