One thing I love about going over to other people’s houses is seeing what they have on their coffee table. I know this isn’t a custom the world over, but here in the USA you’ll often find a number of books on a living room or family room table. Often these books tell [...]
Recently I posted the article 8 Guidelines To Taking Panoramic Photos With Any Camera followed by 20 Great Stitched Panorama Examples, both of which garnered a fair amount of “But what do you use to create them?” questions. While I have typically used commercial ($$$) software, a number of readers pointed out the virtues [...]
This month’s critique comes with a twist. The photo is from Gary Arndt who is currently two years into an around the world trip. Around the world may be misleading, he’s roaming around, let’s just say. I featured Gary’s blog in the recent post 8 Daily Photo Blogs That Provide Inspiration here on DPS as [...]

To help further inspire experimentation of this technique, I scoured Flickr for some prime examples of what can be accomplished. Each image links back to the Flickr page and most contain large or even original size images if you [...]

This month’s DPS Writer’s Critique comes to us from Carrie Marshall, a member of the community here at Digital Photography School. As with the previous critique, the format here is meant to be instructive and informative and not so scientifically analytical and thus it doesn’t matter much whether the photographer is a professional or amateur.

As a new feature here on Digital Photography School, we are going to start a guest panel of DPS writers to critique one photo a month. The writers for DPS have a wide range of backgrounds and experience and most of have been into digital photography for at least five to seven years. This is [...]
