Project Educate: Basic Photography TerminologyPhotography Terminology
Bokeh
This is a term that refers to the way the lens blurs the image and the aesthetic quality of that blur. Some lenses cause the image to blur that is pleasing to the eye, whereas others blur in a more unpleasant or distracting way. It is considered good practice to have the subject of the image in focus, while the background is blurred. Bokeh occurs in the part of the image that lies outside the depth of field and photographers sometimes use a shallow focus to make the out of focus regions more prominent.

Depth of Field
This refers to how much of the scene is in focus. In portrait or macro photography, it is better to have a shallow depth of field and keep only part of the image in focus, as opposed to landscape photography where you'd generally want a larger depth of field and keep everything in focus.

Exploring: People and PortraitsAmongst the General Photography galleries on deviantART is an ecclectic range of People and Portraiture Photography. Often, the hidden gems in this gallery get overlooked in favour of the very popular and attractive portraits such as those shown below...

People and portraits is home to so much more and being a CV for the General Photography gallery has opened my eyes to that tremendously. I get an average of 5 - 10 suggestions a day that are purely of people and portraiture work. Each suggestion is much like the previous in that the images feature women, elegantly placed or glamorously clothed. Whilst these are fantastic examples of working with people - there is so much more in the depths of that gallery.
For Starters...There are men!
Women are great! Don't get me wrong, but there's a distinct lack of notice for the men in the people and portraits gallery. Below are

Project Educate: Photography Roundup + Winners!
Before we hand over the reigns to `SuicideBySafetyPin and an awesome Fractals Week we wanted to announce the winners of our mini Project Educate Contest!!!
Seven Day Challenge - Step Outside Your Comfort Zone RESULTS
The idea was to step outside your comfort zone and take a shot that's completely different from what you usually do. The results were really interesting! And without further delay I'd like to congratulate the winners that `ScENeYmE and myself decided on.
1st Prize: =Earthymoon

"This Panorama is out of my comfort zone because it's not the typical pan. I attempted to venture off into my own signature style and think outside of the pan box. I wanted it to be somewhat narrative and not just a landscape."

Conceptual Photography Conceptual Photography – What’s it all about?!
con♥cep♥tu♥al (adj.) Of, relating to, or based on mental concepts…♥
Conceptual Photography is sometimes a hard thing to define. However once you’ve got the hang of what is and isn’t conceptual you will find yourself seeing and creating concepts out of everyday life just like that. I’m determined to help make that happen!
Conceptual is about trying to recreate your fears, dreams, thoughts and ideas in an image. More often than not a Conceptual shot is set up. It is carefully processed and manipulated in set up and in-camera to convey the concept. However from time to time – as I am more frequently finding – you will notice you stumble upon Conceptual shots completely by accident.
Sometimes those are the best kind!
If it’s conceptual it will make you think twice, you may see a double meaning, you will be astounded by the thought pr
Project Educate: Photography - The Basics Project Educate: Photography 3rd October 2011 -> 9th October 2011

Project Educate has launched for 2011/2012 and I'm delighted to announce that the first week will be brought to you by myself and `ScENeYmE
As two of the General Photography Community Volunteers we will be posting topic specific weeks later on in the year. But for now we thought it would be nice to launch with a week of Photography Basics for those of you who are uncertain where to start - and those who just want some new tips and beautiful features to look at!
Keep an eye on the blog over at #communityrelations as each CV will be posting announcements about their weeks there. Also head over and make sure you are watching #projecteducate where we will be collating all the links to the articles over the coming months.

So The Community Volunteers got chatting and we decided we needed our own collection of memories - because we have some awesome ones!
With the merge of the Gallery Moderators and MN@ Volunteers has come the collaboration of one BIG team and it's lovely getting to know the 'other side' so to speak. So it's with great delight that I share our massive response to $fourteenthstar's article with Community Volunteers - Our Memories

I cannot pick a single memory, but I would say that whenever someone tells me that the DD I gave them made their day and that they are so happy makes me smile. That, and the time I saw `MyntKat's butt on webcam.
