DIYPhotography.net

DIYP is going to turn 3 in two weeks or so. To celebrate this occasion we're throwing our biggest contest ever.

I figured this can be a great opportunity for DIYP readers to show off and win prizes. This is also a great opportunity for sponsors to get exposed and familiarized with DIYP readers. And I mean this in the nicest way. As SPOY was such a great contest, I am going to model this contest in a similar fashion. Read on for more details. Click to continue ›

If you'll take a quick look to the left right, you'll see a new button, directing to the DIYP Amazon store. If you are wondering what it is, read on.

The DIYP Amazon Store is an Amazon affiliate store created by DIYP.net.

Since this is an amazon store front, you get the same selection and discounts as you would in the regular Amazon store. But... If you but through the DIYP Store, Amazon will share a small amount of the sale with me.

So when you are looking for new equipment, camera or lighting gear, buying it through the DIYP store is a great way to support DIYP.

Thanks for reading and shopping,

Allot of readers are asking me "how can we add pictures to go along with our comments?"

The reasons are numerous - some want to share a picture they took, some want to share a cool DIY project they built and some want to show of with their implementation on one of the DIY hacks from this site.

Well, the age of unknowledgeness comes to an end - here is the picture tutorial for how to add images to comments on DIYPhotography.net (of course you can always use the Flickr stream). Click any of the images for a bigger view. Click to continue ›

If you love DIYPhotography.net as much as me, you'd be happy to know that I have made some changes to make it easier for DIYPhotography.net's readers to take the blog to their personal home page.

The first change is to add a bookmark strip that will enable you to bookmark an article to your favorite bookmarking service. You can Digg it, Furl it, Stumble upon it, cook it, bake it or pretty much add it to your virtual bookmarks online. When ever you hover over the strip found on the left, you will see all available bookmarking options. Click to continue ›

Isn't it fun to take a pile of PVC pipes and turn it into a studio? Or to take an old sheet and make it a first class photography backdrop? Some of those trash reused highly complex - space age technologies require nothing but two good hands, showing that no studio equipment is out of reach for the poor enthusiastic photographer. This is especially true when it come to mono-e-mono Vs. them high end gear guys.

Collecting all those DIY stories over the last year and a half or so, helped me realize that random stuff you find around your house good equipment is only half the key to taking good pictures. The other half is having good understanding of photography. Yet the third half is creativity or the ability to get creative. (yea, yea, I know that 150% of being a good photographer. But hey! if you really know it all you can get to be a 150% photographer... ) Click to continue ›

Hi all,

This site has been running on drupal 4.7 for a long time now, and it is time ofr a change. I will upgrage to Drupal 5.1 soon, and for this I need to do some maintanance.

Please dont be alarmed if odd RSS feeds pop up again, or if the site behaves weirdly in the next few days. I hope to use Drupal's 5.1 featurs to give some more cool things on the site, so bare with me.

See you on the other end,

Udi

Hello 'DIY'ers,

The sharp eyed amongst you might have noticed the amazing resemblance between DIYPhotography.net's logo and Drupal.org's logo. And now that DIYPhotography.net is growing, I think it deserves it's own logo. Well, that's a perfectly good reason to announce the DIYPhotography.net Logo Contest.
This contest is where anybody who wants to help DIYPhotography.net can send a logo to the site manager - that's me :), and enter the contest.
Winner will receive bragging rights, a note on the contributors page, and a link to his/hers site, blog, address on Google maps, or any link you can think of. Click to continue ›
