Community Volunteers Kaz-D + 3wyl

This month we published our communityrelations newsletter which can be found here. It's a great roundup of what's been happening in the photography world here on dA for the past couple of months. 3wyl and I are working on the final photography contest of the year - it promises to be huge! Head over and watch CRPhotography for its launch announcement. In the upcoming Artist Toolbox week over at projecteducate we'll be bringing you an article focusing completely on DIY Photography tools. Something worth keeping an eye on if you're snapping on a budget!

Are you looking to get more feedback on your work? Do you have specific areas that you'd like to get answers for? CRPhotography has just launched Targeted Critique which allows you to ask for specific assistance with areas of your Photography. If you're feeling like your work needs some inspiration or a revamp then check out Five Fun photography projects to try by DianaGrigore.
