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

Enjoy my dear friends!

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...

FriedDay Features #6: Guinea Pigs[WARNING: CUTENESS OVERLOAD]
Hello guys, This FriedDay i'm featuring Guinea pigs - related artworks from the dA photography gallery. I personally love guinea pigs so much. I got 2 on Christmas 2012 and then in april they gave birth to 3 little piglets. But then the weather here got really hot and I had to send them to a farm in a mountain. Will be getting them back during winter. I missed them to much so I decided to dedicate this feature for the love of piglets Hope you enjoy this article post and spread some love.

And last but not least;

Happy FriedDay!

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

How to take a beautiful photoComposition, subject, and perspective are the three components that make a beautiful photo, no matter what kind of camera you have.
If you are an amateur photographer and strive to take an interesting photo , try shooting nature shots first. A digital camera is easy
to use and allows amateur photographers to take numerous experimental photos.
So what can you do to take beautiful photos ? Follow these three simple tips and we're sure that you will archeve what you wanted.
First
Find a scenic view or landscape. Beautiful elements you might want to consider as the focus of your photo include: clouds, calm scenes,
beautiful geographic locations and peaceful reflections.
Second
Look through the camera's sight. Experiment with different framing options before taking your photo. Try to fill the frame with the
most interesting object in the landscape. Contrasting colors and shapes create an interesting composition. Red is the most pleasant color

Lodchens Photography :)Hello everybody!
So, for the ones who wondered where I was all the time: I created another dA-account for my photos

Right now taking photos is kind of an alternative to drawing. I sit at my desk so much time, that I just want to spend the rest of the day there to draw

Anyway, I did some sketches lately and I really want to submit more drawings again.

52 week challenge - submissions week 28

Journals / Art News / Photography

Have you come across a 52 Week Challenge? Or even a 365 Day Challenge? Whichever one you have come across, #ObscuredPhotos and ~Xpose-it have collaborated together to bring you a 52 Week Photography Challenge! The best thing about it - everyone is welcome to participate at any time!

Every Week on a Thursday, a challenge is issued in the hopes of broadening what you already know, experiment with things you don't know, and everything else in between.

Challenge for Week 28 - Philosophy

Challenge of this Week

Some of you do this a lot already, some don't. For this Week's Challenge, we would like you to explore Post-Processing, whether it's increasing the saturation/contrast/brightness, cropping, rotating, layering on tones and more things in between.

If you have Photoshop, fantastic. If you don't, then maybe you can download a free trial for the duration of this, or download GIMP or try picnik.com which are both free.

A website you may find useful is Photoshop Tools. I'm sure there are some others if you browse some more.

It would be much appreciated if you could include what you've done to the piece in the Artist's Comments. Photos must be submitted onto deviantART after November 25th.

Only submit to one Submission Folder:

-> #ObscuredPhotos' Submission Folder
-> ~Xpose-it's Submission Folder

Guidelines for the Fifty Two Week Photography Challenge

Thank you for looking.

~WorldWar-Tori, posting on behalf of #ObscuredPhotos and ~Xpose-it.
