Dreams & Nightmares photography contest

*fhrankee:iconfhrankee: reports, 19h 20m ago
We have decided to organize this contest to motivate people create more art. We would be happy if you would give it a try. You can think of anything you want, just make sure you still respect the theme. You can choose to illustrate dreams, nightmares or even both of them. Anything you want! Try not to be macabre if you are picturing “nightmares”. Respect the rules, have fun and most important, follow your heart!

So What if you don't have a Fancy DSLR?

=DefaultUserName:iconDefaultUserName: reports, August 5, 2008
While I do think DSLR cameras are great, it is possible to take some excellent photos with a decent point and shoot camera. Whether you don't have a DSLR at all, or maybe you just don't have one with you at the time, but you see something that's just too awesome to leave unphotographed. I, and a few others, have some tips to keep in mind for taking great photos even when you don't have complete control over the camera itself. Some of these tips are even just in general, no matter what kind of camera you have.


  • See what you can control on your camera. I know I said tips for when you can't control your camera, but it's still good to know what you are in control of.

  • Try to avoid using the flash if you can. It can be very useful sometimes, but usually it will make pictures look flat. From my experience, the flashes on point-and-shoot cameras are generally way to bright as well. Try to get light coming from an angle rather than from the same direction as the camera. This way you get more shadows and a sense of depth.

  • Use a tripod if you can, especially if you're not using flash. If you don't have a tripod, find a tree or a wall or anything sturdy to lean up against to try to steady the camera.

  • If you don't know of it already, look up the rule of thirds. This makes pictures much more pleasing to the eye than a random placement of the subject.

  • "I think the biggest point is to remember that it's still the same stuff with composition, exposure etc that comes into play there...

  • The DoF of P&S is quite wide because of the small sensor. To isolate the subject, you might have to get some contrasts from lighting or colors, for example." (*theFouro)

  • "Composition is key with any camera and doubly so for PaS cameras.

    Photography Composition" (=Betweenshades)


  • Those are just some basic tips (and a really useful link from =Betweenshades) to begin with. I really hope they help. :)

I'm glad to see this as a news article, because there are so many of us using compact cameras. I use a nikon coolpix s9, and would love a dslr at some point when I think I can spring for one. Lovely features.
