Urban Exploration #3Urban Exploration is the exploration of man-made structures. Usually these are abandoned ruins, or components that used to be part of everyday life but are no longer seen on a regular basis by the human eye. This series of articles aims to highlight exactly what Urban Exploration is, how it's achieved and the some of the best Urbex Photographers here on deviantART. Want to see more Urbex photographs within the Daily Deviation section? Then send your suggestions to ^3wyl and I!
Have you heard of Les Ux? They are an underground group that works hard to restore unseen and often forgotten areas of Paris. Their most famous restoration was the Pantheon Clock. The group itself is divided into teams, and it was the restoration team 'UnterGunther' that undertook this mammoth task. Mammoth because the clock was buried deep beneath the Pantheon in France, completely inaccessible. Or not. For a whole year in September 2005, the grou
Food Photography - back to basicsFood is a necessity for daily life and good health (the right kinds anyway), but food is also fast becoming something of an Art as well as many turn to their cameras once a mammoth baking session is over and capture the delightful dishes in attractive and alluring ways. Since the beginnings of Still Life Photography, food has been a subject and whilst the topic has remained the same - methods, equipment and ease have changed in varying degrees across the years. Food Photography is still a genre that is vastly overlooked and majorly underrated in the art world.
It all began with Still Life Paintings back in the 17th Century. They were as far from commercial as a style could get and certainly weren't created with selling in mind. However the skill and main aspects that realism painters took back in the 17th Century are kept close to the hearts of Food Photographers today as they grip onto Realism, effects of light, composition and arrangement. Props have always been an important part of
Critmas: results!Critique is something we all desire- its why most people are on dA. We want feedback on our work- some of us just to validate ourselves, others for improvement tips and others who are aiming for move their work on and want genuine suggestions to assist with that.
That is quite a demanding request.
Fortunately, there are people out there who do take their time to look at work, take the time to review, respond and offer this critique. And writing a critique is time consuming, even more so when you’re writing several. Sometimes I think that people forget that, which is why Critmas has a message not just about giving critique out for prizes, but to thank those who do offer that free time to help others with their work. 
We can often be quite selfish, expecting critique from others but aren’t willing to give back. Even if you took the time to challenge yourself and write one a week, you will reap the benefits.
Anyhow enough of the lecture; let’s see the results!

Photography Troubleshooting: LandscapesI first started out with landscape Photography and it's something that I particularly enjoy now whether that's rolling hills, rolling clouds, or a bit of both on a stormy day. Photographing landscapes can not only highlight the natural terrain of the earth, but also what's going on in the sky and the weather effects of the day. *DreamlikeDesign asked for some Landscape pointers - so here are some handy tips on how to achieve great landscape shots:
1) Use a Tripod
There are times when you just won't have the time. But equally if you've got a fantastic scene in front of you and you have a moment or two to set things up, then please do. You'll honestly be more pleased with your results. Where you may have a landscape that involves a bit of water, you might need a longer shutter speed. The tripod will help stabilise you. Consider also using a shutter release to help you as well. For a bit more information on tripods and when and where to use them
The 365 Photography Challenge - How to Stick at itBefore I start with this article, a little disclaimer. I just finished the 365 photography challenge - known as a 'photo a day' but I blogged and took more than one photo on most days, so it was that little bit more challenging. So I'm feeling pretty smug right now, that I achieved it. But I am by no means toting myself as an expert. This is just my humble advice on how to keep going when it does nothing but rain, or when you feel like giving up.
Before 2012, some weeks would pass when I wouldn't even pick up the camera, let alone think about shots, or how to compose one. Photography still excited me, but I was lacking inspiration. So on the 2nd of January last year I decided to throw everything up in the air, and let go. That is to say, I stopped being precious about the camera (because you can't when you have to take a photo a day) and I forced myself to take rubbish shots, as well as half decent ones.

Urban Exploration 6#Life inside Shut down potbanks!
This article absolutely fascinated me. Being British and reading about something explored within this very country always fascinates me because it's a bit of heritage uncovered. But this in particular, was amazing. Urban Explorers broke into what was once one of the busiest factories in the region and snapped some forgotten pottery heritage. The photos are fascinating, take a look yourself!

Fractal in the nature II : Earth view

Thu Jan 10, 2013, 4:04 AM
Hi deviants !

How are you today ?
Did you enjoy your holidays ? Mine was awesome, I just miss deviantART so much :faint:

In this Fractal in nature article, last time we spoke about snowflakes, which are just macroscopic !
Now let's see something bigger... you know ... like the Earth size!


Earth is round just round there's no fractal in a round !

In fact your right... almost right. Because we'll see fractals on earth from space today !

To quote the article : 

Thanks to satellite Landsat 5 in orbit for 29 years, we can discover beautiful pictures of our planet. The device, now put out, was able to capture more than 2.5 million images of the Earth during its 150 000 revolutions of the globe.

What can we see in those 2.5 millions of images ? 
A lot's of awesome fractals made by the nature itself !







In our gallery :

Being an avid gardener I know its obvious but I think some of the most wonderful examples of natural fractals can be found in the biological!

All manifestation is fractal.
Over space and time, infinitely dimensioned multiverse fractal.
All things are fractal.
We can't always see it, we can't always perceive it.
This is a limitation of our interpretation of our senses.
We are blinded by fictions of money, politics... culture.
The raw fractal universe pours into our senses all the time.
Beauty is limitless.

Beautiful images btw :)

I don't think it's any accident that so much about earth and plants etc. is like fractals. I'm afraid I'm one of those dreaded Creationists, and I believe mathematical formulae were the essence of creation.

Those are pretty good examples.
