Daily Deviation Roundups
Our Photography Hub, CRPhotography!
CRPhotography is the central heart of the Photography Gallery on deviantART, home to the Photography Community Volunteers and any other members who are involved or interested in photography. You do not have to be a professional, or even a photographer, to take part in the masses of fun we have here in this group! Check out our latest Fun & Games Blog here where you can win some
! We have had some great monthly discussions, courtesy of justanothersomeone. Check out the most recent ones, The Invention of the Landscape, Part One and The Invention of the Landscape, Part Two. A lot of thought-provoking questions are raised, so please feel free to share your thoughts on the matter.
Comment Month for April is ongoing, so comment, comment, comment before the end of the month is upon us!
Check out MarcosRodriguez's 50 Bugs and 50 Different Macros! GarryKirsch has also written an informative article on Understanding your camera's exposure settings.
We are a group dedicated to photography, for all photographers, here for the amateurs, the pro's, and those who simply don't know! We aim to support members of the photography community in a variety of ways, through announcements, editorials, critique, contests, fun and games, promotion and much more!
So, if you are interested in receiving a lot from us, making a difference in the photography community or anything else, click the watch button on the side and join right up!
