Over the last two weeks we've had some amazing tutorials on the blog including:
This tutorial did cause a stir among some as Matt takes an everyday object like an Airline Barf Bag and re-purposes it as a flash diffuser.
Lots of discussion on this post as you'd expect but the principle is a useful one - it's often the simple things like this that work the best!
DIY innovation again from Matthew.
Part 2 of the 101 series explores the topic of lenses and how they focus.
In the third part in our Photography 101 Series Neil talks us through the basics of lenses, how they interact with light and magnify images.
This series continues to be the reason for many DPS readers taking their understanding of some of the underlying principles of photography to the next level.
Lately there has been a lot of talk about camera bags so this last week we've had two articles on the topic. Firstly was this guide to choosing the perfect bag for your camera with an exploration of the options that you have at hand ranging from slingbags to backpacks.
Also on the topic of camera bags is this list of top bags - as rated by the DPS community. Hopefully it'll help those of you in the market for a new bag make your decision.
Ever tried to do some photography on a day when the temperature is below freezing?
Those kinds of temperatures will give you a few seconds to do your thing before you start to lose the function of your hands - but if you're wanting to do an extended session of shooting you need another strategy. In this post Matt shares his strategy for shooting in the cold.
This post got me really excited. It's a 'how I did it' type post by a young photographer called Ross Ching who put together an amazing short film using Time Lapse photography with his DSLR.
The movie is well worth a look and the tutorial tells us how he did it - really inspiring stuff - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Every couple of weeks we like to feature a series of images around a theme to give a little inspiration.
This week we've put together 13 images on the theme of 'Rain' in the hope that next time you're faced with a rainy day you'll be inspired to get out into it with your camera! Check out the images.
