Project Educate: Using a Tripod for APNNature Photography and Tripods
`trevg is the Community Volunteer for Animals, Plants and Nature Photography. He has kindly put together this fantastic article on using a tripod to obtain nature photography - there are some excellent tips included!
Camera Shake...
Camera shake ruins millions of photos every year.  Using a tripod is one step we can all take to reverse this problem.  When hand-holding your rig for macro or super-telephoto work, the slightest movement will undoubtedly blur your image and/or completely change your composition.  Using a tripod to lock your camera in place can help you avoid the heartache brought on by this rapidly growing epidemic.  Be part of the solution and buy a tripod today!
:bulletblue:Though many of us own a tripod, we don't always use it.  There are many reasons to forgo your trusty three-legged friend.  Tripods can be heavy and unwieldy

#BurstofColours is a group dedicated to colourful photography.
All photographers are free to join and watch the group whether a beginner or not. I was in the gallery for roughy two minutes before my eyes had a complete seizure!! Theres so much colour in there, its unreal!
Heres a selection of some of the colourful photography from the group:





The colours live between black and white,
In a land that we know best by sight.
But knowing best isn’t everything,
For colours dance and colours sing.
And colours laugh and colours cry,
Turn off the light and colours die.
And they make you feel every feeling there is
From the grumpiest grump to the f
Ten Top Tips for Photography Assistants1) Network, like crazy!
Talking to other assistants, getting your name around, building a website, a facebook page, twitter...networking on and off line is key to developing your name and yourself as a well known local and even global photographer. Hello deviantART!
2) Be Professional
Dress smartly, but not too smartly (gauge the job). Keep your phone away (it's not your camera on this occasion) and be polite. You're an assistant, but you need to act like the main photographer.
3) Learn 'on the job' as well as from the 'book.'
Learning Photography at College or Uni is great. But unless you put theories and motions into practice, you're not going to cut it. Don't do everything by the book, but remember that the book is there if you need it. Photography, true pure honest and emotive Photography, cannot be learned in a classroom.
4) Research your Photographer

Stolen photos or redistribution? Kaprizen.com

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 10, 2012, 6:47 AM


On this bulgarian site the users resubmit our works without our permission, sometimes in modified version and sometimes with DA logo… i found there some photos from my DA friends and some of mine too, they used mine without my permission, sometimes in modified version, sometimes they removed my logo.

In macro category:

And if you browse a bit in the galleries of the moderators „iveto0_94"  and „mimitooo" you would easily find some other works from DA.

If you know who is the photographer please help and send a note to the owner about the site!
Thank you!

True. So, maybe, as many artists should share this news with as many other artists as possible, so that as many members as possible are aware of it. I guess kaprizen, sadly, are not the only site doing this though.

If enough artists know about it and put pressure on DA, or maybe threaten to stop posting work on DA, maybe DA will look in to it.

i THINK ALL OLDER MEMBERS OF D/A SHOULD HAV IN THERE JOURNALS ABOUT COPYRIGHT AND HOW TO BEAT THE CHEATS AND NOT TRUST d/a to protect there artwork or alternativly put a big piece on facebook,I know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity,but there is if people leave taking there money with them,money talks and if nobody it willing to join a somewhat corrupt site they may put some small action into place,after all its all it would take....

Thank you for sharing the info. I'll try and browse some of their posts to see if I recognized a Deviant's art. From the links you've posted, I recognized this, and it belongs to ~spanjebob. I sent him a note already.

Best,

If enough pressure is bought to bare on DA they will have to do something,the whole thieving/art theft senario is getting out of hand,and the law is on the side of the artist who if having found artwork has been stolen and recycled as somebody elses,and you can name and shame the website and thief,without being libolous,as long as your work has clearly stated not for copy or redistribution without my permission either embedded on the watermark or even in your comments,legaly you are in the right and can force the closure of a]website....]B name and shame the artthief and get your work taken off,dont listen to the thiefs who say you can do nothing,you can!! we did and this info was given to us and aletter written for free from a lawyer to the websitethreatning to sue,website came down,I have just written to D/A AGAIN!!!! letting them know once again this has happened if everybody who has voiced just emailed there disgust to D/A AND THE SO CALLED MODERATORS,we may get a shift in there options after all we pay to belong to this website,and bring heapsof revenue to them,time for some payback!!!

i used "redistribution" as an allusion to the last time, when i shared a some stolen shot from kaprizen about a year ago, i got a reply from a DA user, whom i found there ~15 pages resubmited shots, and he replied: no problem, just redistribution...
all his works was there with personal logo, but my photos were in modified version, they cut my logo...
of course, i know they stole our works, this is my opinion too, because i dont want review my shots without my logo below the name of an other "artist"...
but in our scone-hot free word this is toooo hard, but anybody can ask any :) and who read will give the reply.

this is terrible, see how the website logo is placed over the artists copyright in some of the photos?

yes:( sometimes, but sometimes the DA logo is in the middle of the shot;)
just the theft be unambiguous! a real user never submit to an other site a shot with DA logo - just who stole them!!! i have different logos for DA, for photonet and for all different site too.
