Back in August, 2016, Samara began a thread titled Photography. As of June 2019, it has since had sixteen thousand views and 481 replies. This is part two, as that thread reached seventeen pages and some bugs have been reported. This can happen when a thread gets that size. So the purpose of...

This is Mary Smith wielding a pea shooter at the east end of London, back in 1931. Her job was to get up early, sometimes at 3am, and rouse clients so they could get to work on time.

We have a few photo based food threads on this board already, but it can be hard to track back where they are, but each one has a specific purpose as well. I'm starting one to create a space to share your personal photos of what you eat for breakfast, which may be your own creation at home, or...

This photo was captured by NASA's Horizons Spacecraft this year. Here's an excerpt from an article talking about the Spacecraft. "Three billion miles from Earth, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, moving at speeds that would get it from New York to Los Angeles in about four minutes, was pointing...

Feel free to share any photos or artwork of your pets in this thread, as well as a description and/or some information about the image and your pet if you like. Recently I returned home and was reunited with my cat Xabbu. This first photo was yesterday when he was guarding the front door from a...

Linda submitted a new article. Photographers Will LOVE This Idea | The TriLens Kick Starter Campaign I was just moaning about changing lenses on my camera while we were on vacation. It is a royal pain in the patooty and just about impossible when scrambling around ruins and rough terrain. Low...

I was just moaning about changing lenses on my camera while we were on vacation. It is a royal pain in the patooty and just about impossible when scrambling around ruins and rough terrain. Low and behold, I came across this idea, which has a kickstarter campaign going. Anyone who takes photos...

A friend sent me some photos from this website. Well, an hour later, I'm finally getting around to making this post. This is the most incredible collection of birdseye, panoramic, and direct photos, as well as 360 degree views and videos that I've ever seen. AirPano is a not-for-profit project...

For a couple of years now, I have logged onto the Creative Live site for free teaching on photography and Photoshop courses (they have much more available in many creative fields). The trick to getting the training for free is to tune into the days that they are shooting the classes live. They...

"On Aug. 13th in China, photographer Phebe Pan was photographing the night sky, hoping to catch a Perseid meteor. Instead, he witnessed a spectacular bolt of "space lightning." Working atop Shi Keng Kong, the highest mountain peak in the Guangdong province, "I was using a fisheye lens to capture...

Loving this NASA astronomy photo of the day. Explanation: "The dark dusty Keyhole Nebula gets its name from its unusual shape. The looping Keyhole, in this featured classic image by the Hubble Space Telescope, is a smaller region inside the larger Carina Nebula. Dramatic dark dust knots and...

When I lived west of the Blue Mountains in NSW, Australia (renting a 5 acre property surrounded by about 100 acres of farmland at the time), there was a great view of the night sky, as it was at about 2, 500 feet above sea level. With no city or light pollution, it was very clear. But some of...
