The post dPS Weekly Photo Challenge – What is it? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Sime. We’re trying something a little different this week, a slight twist if you will! This week your challenge is to make an abstract photograph, and share it, but then take a look at images shared by others and see if you can guess what their photographs are of! Leave comments, take a guess, have a little fun with it. WHAT IS IT? I’ve just spent 8 minutes 42 seconds making three photographs within a couple of meters of my desk (honestly, it only took two minutes, I had to pat my dog for the other 6 minutes) so here they are...

Photo By Dan Mitler Today’s Photo of the Day is “Galaxtree” by Dan Mitler. “An enormous field of Joshua Trees, unique to the Mojave Desert region, unfolds beneath the arch of the early season Milky Way band,” describes Mitler. “Shot quickly as a multi-image panorama in the 20 minutes in between moonset and the beginning of twilight, the biggest challenge was finding the ‘right’ Joshua Tree to shoot, navigating using only moonlight.” Want to get your images in the running for a Photo of the Day feature? Photo of the Day is chosen from various galleries, including Assignments, Galleries and Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are featured on the website homepage, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. To get your photos in the running, all you have...

Our allegiance to the big camera companies is weird, isn't it? Sometimes, it's a real badge of honor. Other times, well, I'm a little "meh" about the whole thing. Nikon reds pitched up against Canon reds, in a technical tug-of-war? Stripped to the waist and battling it out to the death? Side-by-side comparisons and sensor wars? Not for me, my friend. If you think I'm going to type out 300+ words on as painfully contrived a topic as Canon versus Nikon, you're wrong. Kind of. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Michael Barrow)

The term "boudoir photography" brings to mind scenes along the lines of a woman dressed in lingerie, standing near a window, adjusting her attire. Perhaps we imagine a woman who is partially nude lying on a bed. However, this interpretation of boudoir photography does not have to be the only way this genre is defined. If you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and expand your interpretation of what a boudoir session looks like, you may be able to dramatically increase your clientele and sales.
