Composition - Learning and Breaking the Rulez! A Camera can only shoot what you put in front of it!!!

We all know that there are limitations on a camera compared to the fantastic power of the human brain and eye as image processors. Being out in the 'field' so to speak, with the camera, our senses are alive and we literally capture all aspects of the things that surround us in our memories.
However it takes effort and preparation to fully capture those senses in a photograph for other people to enjoy. Or just to mark an occasion simply for your own memories.
What You Need
A Camera first and foremost is the most important aspect of this process as well as the ability to see a prospective picture in your surroundings. Whether it's an SLR or not doesn't matter, however the next important thing is a Tripod. Tripods not only allow for definition and finery in a shot but they also make you stop, slow down, and take time to set up for an awesome photograph. If you've got a di

Massive Art Theft From dA and FA ArtistsI felt this was important enough to make an article out of. This is something I received through Tumblr and dutifully passed along. I am trying to spread the word about this massive theft case.
Here's the quoted text:
http://www.art4love.com/
They are stealing artworks from all over DeviantArt and FurAffinity, then posting them as “paintings on canvas” with huge price tags. Please please check to see if anything of your’s has been taken, and file a DMCA with the site’s host.
Please pass this on so we can get this disgusting thing shut down.

Project Comment: 0-5 Comments // Issue 168#ProjectComment is a Group of many projects centred around comments, but, more importantly, constructive comments. We offer Members of deviantART a lot of opportunities to get comments, give comments, participate in comment projects, win points, get featured and much, much more!
The 0-5 Comments Issues feature a deviant as well as 3 deviations with less than 5 original comments from a wide selection of art. Please give your time to

this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here.

Project Educate: Welcome to Cosplay!:iconprojecteducate:
Project Educate: Welcome to Cosplay Week!:
Some source cited from Wikipedia.org.
Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure), short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered on role play. A broader use of the term "cosplay" applies to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.
The term cosplay is a portmanteau of the words 'costume' and 'play'.
Costumes created by those who enjoy manga, anime, video games and movies, as well as books and television shows, are often worn to competitions, events, and for photoshoots. They can range from being wildly detailed to very simple and effective. They can be created out of anything laying around the house, or they can be pieced together pa

I did it! + Dream.I Did It!

I finally got to start working on my website and it works! Well, for the most part. There's a few things I have to work on since some links don't work or weren't even saved. But hey, I don't think it's bad for my first attempt! That aside, could you take a look and tell me, honestly, what you think.... aside from the link issue?

You can suggest as many words as you want, but only one word a day will be featured and it's first come, first served. I have been previously editing over this same journal, but I thou

Fan Art Gallery - .gif files now allowed!Hello, everyone!
In the past, fan artists weren't able to submit .gif files (including animations) to the Fan Art Gallery, therefore having to submit their Fan Art in this format to other galleries.
However, this week things have changed and now you can submit .gif (animated or not) to Fan Art. This is great news because Fan Art in animated or static .gif form can be now submitted to the proper gallery.
Happy submitting, fellow fan artists!

by `MartaNael, Aug 17, 2011, 6:39:24 AM
Journals / Culture / Art Blogs & Mags

Someone sent me a note on DA saying Markyourspot is selling art stuff without permission and at a huge price.

They're selling some of my stuff without my permission. [link] and
[link]

I am trying to spread the word about this massive theft case just as someone did with www.art4love.com. Fortunately that site has already been shut down. So I hope something similar can be done with markyourspot.

Please please check to see if anything of yours has been taken, and file a DMCA with the site’s host.

I'm not the only one on DA which has been stolen. In fact, lots of artists have been affected by this.

Please fav this article so that it can spread fast!
