Celebrating Diversity #12This edition of Celebrating Diversity I want to focus on two extremes of art: Extremely detailed and realistic works and minimal and abstract art. Both tendencies or trends have their place and time in art and history and are appreciated by many people. Not always does one person like both, but to me personally, art has always been more about feeling, than about complexity. Something simple can touch me emotionally as well as something blasting with details. Art is just as individual as every human being! How do you feel about these tw

What were your impressions of the community when you first came to dA?I knew Deviantart since 2006, but didn't know exactly what was here!

It all depends on inspiration and ideas, and not always have them.The DA is like a 'school' wh
So You Wanna be a Stocker?Welcome to the first "So You Wanna be a Stocker?" article! I asked some of the biggest names in stock some typical questions that new stockers might have, in hopes that their answers will help stockers new and old learn a bit! I asked them different questions with some overlap in hopes of getting differingopinions.Our interviewees today are `faestock, *Tasastock, and *SenshiStock.1. Is an expensive camera necessary?*Tasastock says, "No, but they are damned fun to play with! You can get a decent camera for a decent price nowadays that will shoot good quality images in the right conditions. Obviously they're not good for low-light or anything capturing movement, but if you handle them right you can make do with an ordinary camera, I've known plenty of people to do so."*SenshiStock says, "I don't know much about cameras, but the best photographs you can take are always going to be the ones that

Leave a comment at the end of the article and we'll do our best to help you figure out the answer. Additionally if you have information that could help someone out - let us know! "From when I used to do photography what I struggled with most was the backgrounds, I wanted to focus in on the objects and then I'd take it to my tutors and they'd go "it's nice but the background is your desk, or your bookshelf" Unless I'm shooting on an infinity curve I struggle to 'see' appropriate backgrounds for my set up..." `FionaCreates "Hi `FionaCreates, backgrounds can either be a part of the photograph or apart from it (I'm quite pleased with what I did there ).Many still life images, particularly in a 'studio' o
Photography Troubleshooting: NoiseThis series of articles aims to answer the questions of Photographers on deviantART who have burning issues with their cameras. Have an issue? Leave a comment at the end of the article and we'll do our best to help you figure out the answer. Additionally if you have information that could help someone out - let us know! "I would love to figure out how to reduce the noise on my camera.I'd love to drop kick it off of a very high cliff, but then I wouldn'thave a camera at all. It may just be because the camera is a POSthough..." ~=CelticStrm-Stock "Noise is a characteristic that can be mitigated with numerous techniques.Noise is all about how much light a camera can capture above its inherent noise floor (the natural noise that the sensor and electronics will always make regardless of what you do), the more 'signal' there is above the noise floor, the less visible the noise will be.Based on the EXIF information on your imag
How to: Modifying the HeaderFor this tutorial series I am explaining different elements you can create or modify with the help of CSS. The level of experience that is needed to be able to understand the tutorials can differ and will be in no order.Everything explained is based on the gruze-structure of journals. If you are still using the old structure or have a journal installed that used it, things won’t work the same way like explained below.For simple skins the old structure is fine, but the more features you add, the more I would recommend using the gruze-structure. You can look up the differences here: http://ginkgografix.deviantart.com/art/Old-vs-Gruze-Journals-112772369This time I will explain you, how to modify the header section of a journal.
