Project Educate: 4 tips for great product photos!In a world where many products are easily accessible on the internet - yes, even those - we've nearly fallen victim to the images that are slightly better than the rest, that entice us in, that persuade us to buy, bid, eat, cook and whatever else. (You've seen my Nom Nom articles right?) So it's not unusual that an eye-catching image can make all the difference when it comes to selling your products, or your photography - or both.
Stand out
Strong, Clear photographs will not only help you stand out on a web-page, but also will help you get your blog out there, or get your deviantART profile a bit more notice. Having a good working environment is often better than having that top notch expensive camera. So don't worry too much about your equipment. Get to know your angles, backdrops, props and lighting and the rest should hopefully fall into place.

Edit
Editing is really easy and good

BEHIND THE CURTAIN--- dear friends and visitors,
unfortunately I'm not longer able to make my large news in deviant art... the stashwriter only shows the numbers of the thumbs but not the pics...
so I'm just going on here with my little journals here... hope you enjoy it ...

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
Angle of light

Project Educate Photography ScheduleWelcome to the General Photography Project Educate week! Since there are so many sub-galleries of Photography here on deviantART, we're not going to be able to cover every single one this week. And since there are various specific CVs for those galleries, they will hopefully (and have in the past) taken care of that! So this week is more about covering a few basic bits and pieces, and giving a bit of education on topics that people have recently been asking about. So without further ado, here's what you can expect this week:

Monday 13th May

Introductory Article and Photography CVs
Photography Games Article from ^3wyl on behalf of #CRPhotography

Tuesday 14th May

Taking better Product Photos by ^Kaz-D
People and Portraits Exposed by ^Kaz-D

Wednesday 15th May

Critique night in #CRPhotography more info here.

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)

men in conceptual photography:icontheCAMERaLUCIDA:
About one week ago one of our members reproached our group of accepting only photos which picture women and declining the ones including men. What is rubbish of course and we also explained the deviant that our decisions are based on quality, technique, concept etc. Still I took a look at our gallery and noticed that there really were/are only a few photos including men.
And I asked myself why.

My first thought was that first there are not many conceptual photographers here on dA in general (for example compared to flickr) and second that only a few of them are male. But is that all?
To answer this question or give a possible idea why there aren't many men in conceptual photography I asked a couple of guys about this topic!

David is one of the guys

Where Street Has No Name CONTEST

Urban ExplorationUrban Exploration is the examination, and often documentation, of normally un-seen or off limits places. It's becoming an increasingly popular 'hobby' and for some, something much more serious. This week we're looking at a specific Photographer and his chosen subject - linked directly in with Urban Exploration.
Wayne Levin's work recently caught my eye at a Photography Exhibition - you may already have read about it if you caught the latest edition of Photography Fortnightly. As well as being an awesome and very unique idea, constructed creatively and tastefully - it reminded me of Urban Exploration. Levin explores beneath the sea, another place that many of us don't get to see unless we venture there with specific equipment - and often training. Exploring reefs, water life and shipwrecks, Levin's work truly is an act of Urban Exploration. It just shows us that there are no limits to being an Urban Explorer and there are many un-chartered 'waters' that need to be documented and shown,

FILMIE FAVOURITESAfter supplying you with lots of technical info in the last Filmie Journal, this time we present you some of our recent favourite submissions to the Filmie Gallery - enjoy!

Naruto Cosplay/Dragon Ball Z X LegendsOk beem thinking and I've come to an conclusion, I'm going to start looking for top notch cosplayers(especially for Naruto and DBZ) and I'm going to praise them and spot them, I'm going to then recruit them(and pay them) to work up some kind of joint project, it won't be easy but nothing ever is, also I'm going to start cosplaying myself(DBZ wise) and some new stuff I've been making excetra...well back to the gring stone, and see you all on the flip(ps working on newer projects that deal on Naruto, so bear with me, and thank you for your support super Deviants, take care everyone ^_^)
