Hi, I just want to introduce to you some very amazing artists on DA but they r not really popular (less than 30.000 pv). Yes, for me pageviews are not important but from that I can find artists who need more love. And I am not really looking for pageviews only, I also check out how long they join DA also (ex: if they have 50k pageviews but they join DA for 5-6 years, etc…They still need more love for sure
). So please give them love cause they r totally deserved it
Thanks so much for those peoples who gave me some very great suggestion of great artists, it helps me much when I do this article. I know that DA has tons of great artists who need to be know and I will try my best to do…Don’t feel sad if you still don’t see you fav artists here…Soon they will be know…Don’t worry

See the light and remember it
Lighting in photography is a living, changing art. One of the most important abilities of a photographer is to see light and to remember it. Light is the most changing element in our daily life. We move among solid objects and among people who do not change drastically during a day or a week. But visually the appearance of our environment and of people around us may change from one hour to the next due to the time of day, the weather, or the particular source of light. Photographers are aware of these changes and store in their memory the impact different types of light have on our emotions and our subconscious. For a photographer, watching the light becomes second nature.

-The angle of light
-Quality (hard or soft)
-Color
-Intensity

Traditional Tuesdays #56Welcome to the 56th week of this article. I totally forgot to upload this last week, so I added some extra work to this edition. I hope you enjoy and find new things to love! I can honestly say that I didn't think it would last this long. The night I started this feature, I was bored and just browsing around the Traditional Gallery. I was finding all kinds great artwork, that for one reason or another I couldn't/wouldn't give a DD. It could be because they had a DD recently, but mainly it was for a link to go back and see what they created next, and if they took it to the next level. Now it's more for artwork that I no longer have time to DD, I can't DD everything! I still find the article fun to do, and I'll keep doing it until it no longer is. So.... here is fifteen works of art that I thought you should see. I can't trust all of you all with anymore awesomeness, you might hurt yourself! Anyway, on with the show!More Like This
**WARNING
Project Educate: 4 tips for great product photos!In a world where many products are easily accessible on the internet - yes, even those - we've nearly fallen victim to the images that are slightly better than the rest, that entice us in, that persuade us to buy, bid, eat, cook and whatever else. (You've seen my Nom Nom articles right?) So it's not unusual that an eye-catching image can make all the difference when it comes to selling your products, or your photography - or both.More Like This
Stand out
Strong, Clear photographs will not only help you stand out on a web-page, but also will help you get your blog out there, or get your deviantART profile a bit more notice. Having a good working environment is often better than having that top notch expensive camera. So don't worry too much about your equipment. Get to know your angles, backdrops, props and lighting and the rest should hopefully fall into place.

Editing is really easy and good

What drawn you towards digital art, paintings in particular? How was your first experience with this kind of art and how long ago was it?
Like many artists, I have always been interested in drawing since a very young age, it was really just a natural thing. I love animation and I've always been watching lots of animations since i was a child. As I grew, I also found huge interest in comics (manga particularly) and games, and these have always been my inspiration. So my goal was always to become a professional artist i
Inspiring Digital Artworks Try browsing dA. Many of the most popular artworks ever are uploaded in Digital Art gallery. Then have a look at some of the most popular digital works in the last hours and compare them to some other popular deviations from different categories. What do you notice? - What i did a long time ago: there's a difference between them; digital artworks usually have more views, more comments, more faves. And it made me wonder "Why is that?" - Is it because many people are fans of fantasy characters and great landscapes? Is it because they enjoy looking at an enhanced figure or at a reality-defying picture?More Like This
Of course they do, but that's not the only reason. It's mostly because people appreciate good work and stunning details, which are sometimes harder or impossible to achieve through other arts. It is also because this is the medium that imposes no limits to your power of creation - you ca

You are a very successful artist, what do you believe are your most important features that made you pop out of the crowd?
I don't consider myself talented, I practice a lot and still try to improve. First of all, I started photography by doing lots and lots of shot, and those got the attention of the public I might say. In time, I've perfected the concepts, editing, composition etc, but the idea still stands.
I try to do something different with all shots, and the photo sessions to be different from one another.

Here are some tips on how you can spot the dust on your camera sensor effectively and how to remove it.
Shooting the test image
Start off by setting your ISO to the lowest (normal) range, for example 100 for Canon and 200 for Nikon;The test shot has to be completely out of focus, so go ahead and manual focus to infinity on a piece of paper OR to close focus for the sky;Now it's time to set the aperture. It's usually okay to set your aperture at f/22, that way all the spots are well defined and ready to lift off!What lens to use? Usually something like a teleph

The way I conduct myself. I believe in treating others with kindness and respect. I am often described as being "nice", but to me, I am simply conducting myself as I should. Everyone has worth, and everyone's time is important. That's something I always try to remember and I make an effort to show others that.

Choose any media or medium and there is no question that Drones have become the white hot center of debate for a multitude of deeply consequential concerns for the entire Earth Sphere. No matter the digital end point or theatre of conversation, whether it be politics, war, privacy, pop culture, or the rise of machines – Drones or UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles) are the current catalyst du jour in any number of flashpoint discussions.

This is our second mini-Contest (first one being in March). This is only a stage before the actual Contest:
1.) Create a collaboration with a partner (of your choice).
2.) You and your partner must then choose 7 other of your favorite poems of your own, no matter how old or new they are (and that either of you had written, for a total of 8).
3.) One of you will then submit a Deviation with the 8 'tracks' and turn it into an 'album', with a title of your choosing. (Or you could both submit it. Make sure you include links to the poetry on each track.)
4.) You and your partner will choose 3 'singles' from the album (1 of them being your main collaboration at #1, so you have 2 more to choose from), which you feel are the most likely to be popular. (Mark the singles somehow, so we know which ones to pay particular attention to.)
5.) Add a description to the album. Feel free to add an album cover, if
Good Team EffortSo heres the results of 1 rhyme poem!More Like This
There once was a poem and it started like this
Filled with romance stamped with a kiss
a little deviant ran away from the computer to take a piss
and was greeted by a snake that said hiss hiss
But then the deviant came back and said, 'I don't love you, snake!'
So the snake said "I see" and made the deviant a cake
But what the snake didn't know is he'd made a mistake!
So counting on forgiveness he smiled a smile that was fake
the snake found a soul he was prepared to take
The snake smashed the Deviant's head in with a rake
But then his ghost awoke the next day ...
Lost for words, he didn't know what to say
So he moaned, and wailed, and screeched, and bayed
And the moment now known, his story had faded away.
So who wants to go again?
Just a reminder of how the game works:
Basically someone writes a line, and then someone adds a rhyme

I don't understand !NAHOM1 existence on dA and why he's so popular.
My confusion is he get's all these compliments for how amazingly talented he is but... he doesn't actually make any of the art in his gallery.
His gallery is full of art by other artist edited in some way, supposedly with permission. There's only one piece there that I could see as half way legitimate and that was the animation of another devian'ts piece but I still wonder if he actually got permission. Go look at his art and then the original and see if you can see what he did to make it his own. For instance this is one of my favorite pieces by `Aegis-Strife and this is what !NAHOM1 has done with it, suppo

Now, I've been thinking for the last week about the type of contest that I could hold... But honestly, it seems odd... I would love to hold a small contest, which has something to do with photography, or even something ridiculously geeky such as Final Fantasy fan-art, but I haven't really found anything similar by deviants on here, so I think I'm just gonna stick to having a simple point giveaway.
So, as the title shows, there are 200 points (previously 95) up for grabs. So how do you enter? It's simple.

I suppose I'm not a very confident person in most situations, but when I immerse myself in art, I become far more confident as a whole. I find it much easier to work by myself with my pic making, being able to truely immerse myself, my thoughts and my imagination into making scenes that people will love. I've certainly discovered a more artistic side to me that I never knew I was capable of in these last few years.

How often have we commented/spoken to each other? [If never, why not?]
Hello my lovelies. You are all mine now, yes.
It has been a rather hectic last few months for me, which is why I've been quiet. I have managed to keep my inbox under 200 messages, if you don't count anything that I look over/keep for use in Love dA Lit. I also totally have it under 100 right now, but we will see how long that lasts.
Special thanks to ~AeternusVotum for giving me at least one more "I love you" journal title. c: Uh, I thought I had more to say, again, but now I have no idea what to talk about. Talking about myself is weird unless I'm prompted and still then I'm all kinds of crazy and never know what to say so I blurt out something silly.
