    Just curious. Were you creative in another area before discovering photography?

    I loved drawing as a child but was never particularly good at it. That's when I probably discovered photography and decided it's easier to snap a picture than to draw one from scratch :D I've also never been patient enough to learn about perspective and techniques and stuff. Some of my "early...

    Kate Middleton's Mother's Day photo appears manipulated?

    It might have been, but I'm leaning towards the smartphone "Best shot" mode mistake, where the photo was just composed badly.

    Kate Middleton's Mother's Day photo appears manipulated?

    That's what I thought! The picture's said to be taken by William, so a smartphone camera is a possibility here?

    Is digital dead now?

    I think it's just as dead as film is, so maybe partly but not entirely. Film is pretty popular in itself and film grain effects in Picsart, Snapseed or Photoworks aren't going anywhere, people still use them and shoot film for ~aesthetics~, whatever it meants. Same for digital imo.

    Apps you can't live without

    PicsArt, I love their glitch effects and I bought a premium version so I don't want these money go to waste :LOL: Photodiva for my laptop, I use it for quick edits while not at home. StayFocusd which is an extention but it helps me to save time greatly even though blocking some websites was a...

    Best shows on Prime/Netflix?

    The Witcher is great, I think about re-watching it. Haven't played the game but the friend I watched the show with said there are so many allusions and game moments. The Winx Saga is the last thing I've seen, can't call it the best show ever but the music is good, I even used a soundtrack from...

    Memory Book

    So sorry to hear about your loss, OP. Our beloved cat passed away at the age of 10 due to incurable disease and that was a huge loss as he was like a family member to us. A memory book is a sweet gesture and you must be a strong person to complete it. It took me probably a month to collect all...

    WCMUT....what cheered me up today

    Local photographer finally sent me the pics from the family photoshoot that we booked and I'm beyond happy. Just in time for me to make a smartshow 3d video for Father's day with some new photos and not just family archives.

    Traditional anniversary gifts.

    Agree about getting a nice linen dress, plus these are really comfortable to wear during summer! Not so sure about the floral print, though, not everybody likes itbut if she likes it then it'll hit the nail in the head. You can also think of making an anniversary slideshow with your wedding and...

    inspiration

    I can't say there were any particular people who inspired m, neither can I name any photographer I look up to, guess I started doing photography just out of curiosity. I have friends who do that, though, and I always loved the way they capture the moments and emotions, so I wanted to try and do...

    Beginner Editing

    Most of the times I do portraits and use Photodiva to do all the editing, but your choice will depend on the type of photography you are into. I suggest you looking through the lists of popular photo editing programs (something like this or this) and find a software that would be right for you...
