Project Educate: Basic Photography TerminologyPhotography TerminologyBokehThis 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 FieldThis 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.Ma
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."3 month subscription300 points2nd Prize: *feigenfrucht"It is one of my first "constructed" pictures. Normally I go outside and take pict
Conceptual Photography Conceptual Photography Whats 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 youve got the hang of what is and isnt conceptual you will find yourself seeing and creating concepts out of everyday life just like that. Im 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 its conceptual it will make you think twice, you may see a double meaning, you will be astounded by the thought pr
