Project Educate: Using a Tripod for APNNature Photography and Tripods
`trevg is the Community Volunteer for Animals, Plants and Nature Photography. He has kindly put together this fantastic article on using a tripod to obtain nature photography - there are some excellent tips included!
Camera Shake...
Camera shake ruins millions of photos every year.  Using a tripod is one step we can all take to reverse this problem.  When hand-holding your rig for macro or super-telephoto work, the slightest movement will undoubtedly blur your image and/or completely change your composition.  Using a tripod to lock your camera in place can help you avoid the heartache brought on by this rapidly growing epidemic.  Be part of the solution and buy a tripod today!
:bulletblue:Though many of us own a tripod, we don't always use it.  There are many reasons to forgo your trusty three-legged friend.  Tripods can be heavy and unwieldy

Project Educate: Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography Week
An introduction to the Urban & Rural Photography gallery
Hi there and welcome to the Project Educate week for Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography! Before the week can really start off, we need to find out what Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography are really about. In later articles, we will also go in depth on the subcategories of both galleries. We started off with exploring Architecture Photography in an earlier article, it's time for Urban & Rural Photography now!
Urban & rural photography, found as photography subcategory Photography > Urban & Rural, is photography focusing on the entire area rather than an individual building or structure (like with Architecture). It is described

Spotlight On...Surrealism
"Surreal photography would be more about creating a world or image which goes beyond the physical world as we know it. It usually shows something which would be impossible in real life or tampers with the line defining what is real and what is imaginary. Surreal = beyond the real."  - `Shalora Former Community Volunteer
~DianaCretu has a gallery that explores the boundaries of many different types of art. In terms of surrealism however she has some intriguing and mystery pieces that help explain the limitations and broadening horizons that can be met whilst exploring surreal photography.

Blurs, angles, shapes and shades all can combine beautifully to create surrealistic pieces of photography.

This won't replace the full weeks planned by the specific community volunteers for specific galleries - but instead it will help to give you a mini introduction into what's out there.
Horror and Macabre
Photographs which focus on the frightening, grotesque and disturbing.

Horror is described as a combination of terror and revulsion, whilst macabre is defined as having a quality that is grim and ghastly. Couple these together with photography and the results are often terrifying.
Horror and Macabre photography consists of gory, horrific images using props, make up, lighting and whatever else you can find to your advantage to create something that could leave people feeling uneasy. A lot of photos use people to get the feeling of creepiness across, however, there can be just as muc

Project Educate: Conceptual Photography

Tue Feb 7, 2012, 4:47 AM



Conceptual Photography


Conceptual is a Photography genre where the artist spends time to make up and construct an idea. Some conceptual shots are taken by pure fluke but for the most part they are created carefully and strategically - deliberately. There are many ways of achieving conceptual pieces without the use of after - manipulation. Man Ray was a very famous Conceptual Artist of his time and so was Eugene Atget. Many try and carry out tribute pieces in memory of Man Ray...




Conceptual can often be blurred with Surreal Photography and actual the line between the two is crossed many times...

Spotlight Artist




~BlackJack0919 is a fantastic Conceptual Photographer with a gallery that spans all kinds of wonderful ideas and concepts.
