“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”
― Margaret Atwood



In the UK Spring is most definitely here. And with it comes a plethora of Photo-graphical opportunities. Whilst there are the flowers, trees and in particular blossoms coming into bloom there are also the youngsters. Baby Animals! Birds beginning to nest and in general it seems - an influx of human babies too! There is no shortage of opportunities to take a photo at this time of year here and there are some useful tips to get you out and about making the most of the season...

Use sunrises and sunsets - the lightest part of the day at lunchtime and the dusky evenings to capture spring landscapes at their best. Utilize the foggy mornings with sun streaming through too! Avoid white light - at this time of year it's incredibly harsh and doesn't do much to enhance your photos. And also keep your tripod close to hand! When trying to get those intricate close up shots of leaves and petals, or a flower swaying in the breeze - you'll need some kind of camera support!

Project Educate - Stock & Resources


Community Volunteers Dan-Heffer & Elandria


Stock & Resources can be incredibly important to the Photographer from photoshop curves to being able to put your own shots out there as Stock. An image you might think is completely useless could be the fantastic backdrop to an awesome manipulation that somebody else could create. Drop by projecteducate this week and see what Dan and Elandria have to offer you! There's a fantastic competition going on too. In the meantime if you're interested in creating stock or you're looking then check out resurgere or Shopping-for-stock
