Composition in Landscape photography made easy
Confusion
I remember when I started out and was eager to learn everything landscape photography, it seemed the more I looked into composition the more confused I got.
What was supposed to be a simple introduction turned into this rabbit hole of information and it is still confusing a lot of aspiring landscape photographers out there to this day.
My goal is to simplify it in an easy to understand format of 4 simple rules to follow.
1. Anchor
Think of an anchor as something for the eyes to rest on, something that is identifiable and clear, if you do not really know what you are taking a picture of(i.e point and shoot), the viewer won`t eith

How to take the best possible images at night.
This is mainly directed and nightsky photography but it will apply to all sorts of night photography where you are limited when it comes to light.
I will structure this step by step for ease of use, once you have touched all points you will be ready to tackle the night with all its challenges.
Step 1 - The Camera
Over at DxOMark they are very good at testing stuff the scientific way, some will argue the real world application and images instead and I agree with both, but for iso which is so important for night photography this would be my first stop: http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Ratings/Sports

Crop Sensor V Full Frame - Which is right for YOU?

How to get noticed on deviantART!
FAQ #56: https://www.deviantart.com/help/56 - How can I get noticed on this site?
I've had many people ask me this question so I'm going to elaborate the best I can. :giggle:
As the FAQ above states, to get far on deviantART you HAVE to give feedback to get it. It's almost virtually impossible for you to get noticed without doing any of that. I learned that after a year of being here. :XD:

So you have your awesome art project that, you feel, the whole world needs to see? So you've signed up to be a DeviantArt member. Because, DA... that's where all the cool artists reside... isn't it?
