December Stuffs


(LAST ENTRY AS AN ACCOUNT!)

THAT'S RIGHT! we're upgrading to the Groups platform! We're crazy excited about this and hope you guys are too. Groups will bring so many changes and ways of management that i'm worried my head will fall off during the adjustment period, but i *think* the benefits will be worth it. (no more club faving! *score*) You guys will be able to get so much more involved in things in terms of blogging and all history will remain intact except for the news articles, I don't know what happens to them, but i'm awfully disappointed about the loss of that feature. So we'll be relying on you guys to send in any educational related photography articles you post so they can be featured here.

We'll hopefully be changing over late December, so here's the December journal out early, to finish up 2009 old-skool account style.

[link] the #hq blog on Groups, and also check out the FAQ's 'Group' section. Getting absolutely ALL the info on Groups is virtually impossible until you keep track of the launches and feedback, it's all still very fresh and beta-test mode, and i hope you'll bear with us as we take the plunge into the unknown!

December Submissions

Are open. And as voted for by you, the theme of 'Winter Wonderland'. However, there were so many great suggestions and mixed response to this poll (check it out), that i urge you to remember that this is only a general theme, and your submissions will never be refused unless they violate dA submissions policies. So please get snapping whatever the season is to you, wherever you are.

Recent Top-Class Tutorials








Be sure to check out the favourites collections for much much more, and if you make or know of any great Photo-related tutorials, note me with them in case they need adding to our collection.


Submitting Your Work to the Club

Every month, you will be invited to submit your own work to =PhotoLust's gallery. Some months will have submission themes and some will be open submission (no theme) so please keep an eye on the journal so you know what you're submitting to!

DECEMBERS'S SUBMISSION INFO
Submission dates: OPEN
Submission theme: Winter Wonderland (OR anything you like!)
Submission limit: ONE submission per person only
Additional info: All genres of photography, all skill levels.
Please include: A link to your deviation AND keywords
Subject: Please put 'December Submission' as the subject of your note.

Anyone can submit to =PhotoLust, and they can be old deviations as well as new, so long as they fit the theme, but I do ask you to please watch the account before you submit. If all the other watchers will be seeing your submissions in their devwatch, it's only fair that you see theirs too.

If there's anything that you'd like specific critique on, feel free to include in your submission note a short message which I will add to the description of your piece in the gallery. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it is a good opportunity to ask for critique.


This Month's News

This is a selection of photography-related and community-related news articles posted by =PhotoLust's watchers and dA staff. While thumbs/features articles will show up in the Favourite News section of the page, this bit is for informational articles only. Photolust's inbox was a little low of news so far, so these are gathered from around dA.
