General Information

Hi my dA Friends!!!

Please, while submitting photo's always remember our Group name:
<<<<<<  LightInspired  >>>>>>

Even though photography is a two-dimensional art, good control of light creates 3-dimensions by giving pictures depth. Light creates shadow and shadow in return, enhances the appearance of the subject. The interaction of the two is fascinating. Light can make the subject feisty or dull while shadows can make it mysterious or terrifying. The position and strength of the lights and shadows always set the general mood of the image and determine the real creativity of photographers, their vision of the surrounding Nature....

It would be very useful at first look to Folders - lightinspired.deviantart.com/g… and compare the quality of gallery's photo's and photo's you want to submit...  Our Administration will immediately decline any membership request if deviant d't have in personal gallery any nature-related photo(s).

1. You must be a MEMBER to submit.
* Watchers will be unable to submit

2. MEMBER may submit to any Gallery Folder ONLY up to 4 deviations per month, CONTRIBUTORS - one per day;
* It's not important how you submit photo's, i.e. 1 photo per week or all 4 photo's at once;
* Excess deviations will be declined without any explanation. Please, d't flood the club gallery with hundreds of submissions, save the time and health of Administrators ;
* Please, be careful with folder you submit. The Administration will decline deviations situated in incorrect category <Folders>  without further explanations. Descriptions of folders are available below;
* Choose only high quality images, and make sure that they are resized so that full view is more or equal - 700/800px wide or 600px height; you can use for resizing the initial images our Photoshop action - my-shots.deviantart.com/art/Re… ;
* HDR(i) images and IR-photo's with "hard effects" and photo-montages are NOT accepted;
* Please, try to submit images without "standard" dA watermark  (it's too large and often "spoil" the original photo) and without "hard"/very thick dark frames....
