As always projecteducate is ever evolving and developing new ways to allow Deviants to get involved whilst not having to tackle the (sometimes daunting!) task of writing a full length article, or taking on a whole seven days of Education! Therefore the Handy Hints & Tips Blog Series has begun!
What's the Idea?
Some of us love reading long articles, but many of us prefer to be able to read something short, concise and to the point perhaps including an image to illustrate the point - but nothing more. So the idea is that members of the Community Volunteer team and of the wider deviantART Community (YOU!) can start blogging a handy hint or tip related to Art or deviantART, via our blog.
How can I get involved?
All you need to do is note the projecteducate group with your Hint or Tip! This is so that we can be sure we don't have any double-posting going on and we'll always work with you to adapt your idea if someone else has proposed it already. Once you and the team are happy with everything, we'll invite you into the group as a contributor, help you access the journal skin and you can go ahead and post! It's that simple.
What about normal Project Educate Weeks?
These won't be affected at all. We'll encourage everyone to look at the projecteducate Schedule before posting their blog to ensure they don't post in the middle of someone's week! Alternatively though, if your 'Hint or Tip' is relevant to an upcoming PE week then why not wait and negotiate a slot in the schedule to post it then?! If you need an idea of how it might work, check out the example below!
What does the ø symbol on my lens mean?
After the focal and aperture ranges, the other measurement you'll see on most dSLR lenses is preceded by ø and describes the diameter of the screw mount on the front of lens barrel. Check this number each time you head out to buy a filter or hood as you can't guarantee that it will be the same for each lens in your collection, even if they are all designed to be used on the same camera.
