November 2007 - Mundane Made Interesting October 2007 - Natural Monochrome September 2007 - Emotion August 2007 - Water July 2007 - Natural Framing/In-Frame Framing June 2007 This group is for those with DSLR/SLR cameras who have some experience with cameras and photography but are looking to learn new skills, tip, and tricks and improve the quality of their shots (those with point-and-shoots are welcome to join and post photos to the group pool as long as EXIF data is available-- comments and questions posted to the pool should be DSLR/SLR-related only or about general processing and/or composition techniques). Beginners with some experience, Novice photographers looking to really sharpen their skills, and semi-pros willing to share their knowledge are encourage and welcome to join! Posting limits are 2 per day ... PLEASE only post photos that you want comments/critique on or that you feel are you best work. Photos submitted to the pool MUST have EXIF data available publicly or they will be removed ... this is so that others can see what specs you shot at so they can learn or give you suggestions for a better shot. Click here if you don't know what EXIF is. How do you know if your EXIF data is available? On the right-hand side of your photo's Flickr page under "Additional Information" it should list the type of camera you took the picture with and also "More Properties". If you click on "More Properties" it will display your EXIF data. Also, we encourage you to include in your image subject lines information about how you took the shot and what equipment you used (what lens you used, what filters you used, if you used any flash, tripod, or remote switch).
