Perhaps the biggest challenge I hear many of our readers talking about when it comes to their photography is that they struggle to find time to practice their photography. The real problem though is that so many of us don’t have our camera with us when the photographic opportunities present. Instead they sit at home [...]
This week your photographic challenge picks up on this weeks image collection – 25 Dreaming Images Shot Wide Open. The images in the collection were all shot with large Apertures. Remember a large aperture (a big wide open hole in your lens) translates to a low number. So the shots all taken in the image [...]
This week we’ve chosen a theme that should be accessible to most of us – hands. Actually hands are something that some photographers (and artists) struggle to capture in a natural way (here’s a tutorial we wrote on the topic of posing hands) – so perhaps it is a good theme to practice. Feel free [...]
In a recent reader poll we asked readers whether they had a photoblog – the results are in: If you have a photoblog – share with us a link to it in comments below so we can check it out!
After our image collection of ‘Signs’ earlier today we’re going to take that same theme on this weeks photography challenge. Photograph and share an image or two on that theme. The signs can be of anything you like. Road signs, advertising signs, protest signs. They can be of old signs, new signs, neon signs… anything [...]
It is time for another reader Poll – this one comes out of a conversation yesterday with a reader who sheepishly admitted to having 13 lenses for his DSLR. In fact he had spent around $1000 on his camera body but had lenses with a combined value of over $15,000! So I thought it might [...]
Earlier today we published a collection of 27 Black and White Landscape images. So it seemed appropriate to make this weeks challenge on that theme – Black and White Landscapes. While black and white might not necessarily always come to mind for landscapes I think it’s a great challenge to play around with. Taking colour [...]
dPS Facebook page we just passed the magical 100,000 ‘likes’ mark. It’s been creeping up towards the milestone for a while now and I’ve been promising we’d do a little giveaway to celebrate when we got there. So today it is happening. Over on the The Prize One dPS reader will win a copy of [...]
This week your challenge is to take and share a black and white portrait. We’ve done portraiture challenges in the past and they’ve always been popular – but after todays collection of 27 black and white portraits I thought it might be fun to issue that challenge. Remember with black and white images you obviously [...]
It has been over a week since Adobe released Lightroom 4 and I know many dPS readers have tried it out (and many tried the free beta version). I’ve been playing around with it in the past week and have to say that I’m happy that I upgraded – the fact that it is now [...]
