Well, we made it through the first month of 2010, and activity has picked up greatly! This month we welcomed many new members, saw a lot of growth in both our community and in people as individuals, and just many wonderful photographs.
As such, with the end of the month, we have new people up in the Showcase! Congratulations to those who made it in, it was a difficult choice in each section. But everyone will probably agree that the photos that were selected are truly some beautiful examples of what a person can do with a camera. Hopefully we’ll see even more of this in the months to come!
In the Community Practice section, Esperanza has been featured with a photograph that truly expresses space around a human being. Having seen previous work from her, this definitely shows that she is improving, and as such she has the honor of being in the Showcase. Congratulations!
This month we congratulate Kai with one of his bicycle shots as the Photo of the Month! Many people commented and loved the photo, and so did the staff!
Our contest of Beginnings was won by MarianMurdoch, who captured the miracle of new life. Life is an awe-inspiring thing as it is, but her photo truly portrays that beauty. Congratulations!
And of course congratulations to everyone who was a Weekly Theme winner over the course of the month! Your creativity knows no bounds, and we can’t wait to see who makes it in during February!
Good luck to everyone, and happy shooting!

I see it mentioned here quite a few times but could never really seem to figure out what it is. Could anyone please explain it to me? Does it have something to do with exposure metering and all that jazz?

Word of mouth is great for getting new members, more activity, and keeping the fun alive for everyone here on Phototique. As such, we need you, the members, to tell everyone you know about this place! And now, we're going to offer you some great incentive!
It's expensive to get things at the Points Store, and there aren't that many ways to earn points. That's about to change though!
From now on, for every person you refer who becomes active (meaning they make at least ten real posts with one of them in The Gallery section) you will get 5 points! Those will really add up after a while, so spread the word! And not only do you get 5 points, but so will your friend!

It's certainly something that is a possibility. I totally understand what you mean. On the other hand though, it makes over-exposed images seem even more blown out. If I ever find an awesome coder like I want, and a graphics person, my goal is to actually have different schemes that people can choose from so that if you want dark, you go dark. If you want light, go light; ect...

These are some ways to use long exposure that you may want to try:
-Ghosting: Ghosting is created by exposing through an object. To do this, start off with your subject clearly in the photo—usually a person. Set the exposure to at least 10 seconds or more, and at the 7 second point (you’ll have to count or use a stopwatch) have them run out of the photo, or move the object away. This movement has to be done relatively quickly! Then, the last three or so seconds will cause for what was behind them to start to be exposed through them. Voila! Instant ghost!
-Light Trails: Light trails are usually done with the lights of moving cars at night. You set up on a street or sidewalk, and aim the camera at the middle point of the road to get a good focus. Then, set your shutter speed to 2.5 seconds or longer, and take photos of the moving vehicles. All you will see are trails of light. Make sure to play around to find the proper exposure for these. This is also a common technique for fireworks.

please PM myself with your corresponding account link and I will add you to it. This link will not update with your display name if you change it on here! So if you change your display name, let me know. I will then update your link. However, if you change it like you change your underwear, I will be less likely to change it here for you.
Also, should you have a site you think should be listed, you are free to PM me such suggestions, and I will look into it.
The lists we currently have are:

Any digital camera can create depth of field simply with distance. So for those of you without an aperture option on your camera, just make sure your main subject is a good distance from anything in the background, and it will create the same effect.
How this will Work:
1. Take a photo, and share it here.
2. Leave a comment for the person before you about the photo they shared, and how you feel it does or does not demonstrate good focus and depth of field.
3. Receive feedback
4. Take another photo using the feedback given to you, and repeat steps 1 and 2 (and 3 and 4 if you want!)
