Photography Tips from DPS - Fire, Conventions, Bubbles, Twitter and More

Published: Thu, 01/08/09

 
Greetings Digital Photography School Subscribers.
New DPS Design
The new DPS design will be launched over the upcoming weekend. Login to DPS on Saturday and you should see it going live. You can see a hint at what is coming from the logo above - but on Saturday we'll push live the overhaul of our blog area and launch two new blogs (one on cameras and one on post production). A new look for the forums will follow in the next week or two. Please be patient with us as we iron out the kinks.
