Concept Shooting is a way of approaching photography that can take your work to a new level. It takes a little more thought than just going 'snap happy' but can really help you to convey a message with those viewing your shots.
  

How to Make A Inexpensive Light Tent

This is one of the most popular posts in our archives - a post that walks readers through how to make their own DIY light tent and achieve some great results in shooting products (ideal for eBay type shots).
 

Photography in the Winter Season

With many of our readers heading into Winter (mind you, I'm heading into Summer here in Australia!) this tutorial will be helpful to many.
 
Winter can be a time where photographers feel tempted to curl up in bed and not venture out with their cameras - but it is also a time that can lead to fantastic possibilities.
 

Win a thinkTANK Camera Bag

We LOVE it when companies get in touch with us and ask if we can give their products to our readers - so this week when thinkTANK sent us this Rotation 360°  camera bag to give away we didn't take a lot of convincing!
 
To put yourself in with a chance to win you need to be a DPS forum member (sign up here - it's a different membership to this newsletter) and submit a picture in this week's Assignment (topic: What's in your Bag).

Digital Photography Companion (Book Review)

Are you just starting out with digital photography? If so - this book - The Digital Photography Companion - is for you.

»Understanding Exposure
Recommended Resource:

This week I'd like to take a moment to highlight another great photography boo - Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.

Every time that someone asks for photography book recommendations in our forums this book is mentioned.

Read our review of it here or get it at Amazon for $16.47 (currently reduced from $24.95).
