Photography Quotes






"One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it...If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better."
~ Galen Rowell

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
~ Twyla Tharp

"Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light, I just take pictures..."
~ Vernon Trent

"Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world."
~ Arnold Newman

Watchers

Still There!?

Journal Entry: Sun May 12, 2013, 5:15 AM


Hi everyone!  :wave:

After this long period of being rather inactive I just wanted to let you know that I'm still here - and planning to be more active again. :dummy:
In the past year(s) my priorities somehow shifted away from deviantART to other things. Back then it was alright with me but right now I'm not as satisfied as I was before, so I kind of bethought old virtues and dA is one of them. Don't know if that's really a good one, but it works for me and thus I'm going for it. :D

Anyway, here's what you can expect to happen over the next months:

Themed features every two to three weeks
As I really love those, themed features will play a major part. Next to the general thematic features like Female Flowers or Infrared Landscapes there will also be two feature series, the "Fairytale Feature" (number one is currently in the finishing phase) and "Travel the World". So stay tuned if you like looking at beautiful artworks collected for you.
To make orientation easier I created a feature index which you can find in the menu to the left as well as on my profile and journal page.

Watchers Feature
I guess I have to apologize here first, as lately there really wasn't much I offered to you. Sorry for that. All the more I'm deeply delighted that some of you sticked around and several new watchers joined in. Thank you all! :hug:
To show my gratitude (and get back in your favour Eyes ) I would like to do a watchers feature. Please comment below if you have a specific deviation you would like me to feature; otherwise I will just browse through my watchers list and choose one myself. To give everyone time to react I'm planning to release the feature at the end of June or early July.

New works from me
Granted, I haven't shot many new photos lately, but there are still so many on my computer I would like to share, they just need a little editing here and there. I decided to give GIMP a second chance but still need to get a bit more used to that programme, so please bear with me. On this note, if anyone knows of a nice tutorial about photoediting with GIMP feel free to link it below. I would appreciate it very much.

I guess that's all for now. If you have any questions or are curious about something or the other comment or send me a note, I don't bite.

Cheers

Serel

Below you'll find an index with most of the themed features I did so far. This list will be updated with each new feature I publish. Feel free to browse and enjoy yourself.
