SMILE: Weekend Photography Challenge
La verità dello sguardo, l’ipocrisia del sorriso - by pensatore Istintivo!
This weekend’s photography challenge is something that we should all have at least some access to – it’s to photograph and share an image on the theme of ‘Smile’.
Feel free to take whatever approach with the theme that you like (although I’m assuming we’ll mainly get portraits on this one). Perhaps you want to take a photo of someone smiling – of something that makes you smile – or perhaps you want to get a little more abstract…. it’s up to you.
Once you’ve taken your “SMILE” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSSMILE to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Thanks to @10timesone on Twitter who suggested this week’s challenge. To submit an idea for a theme for next week’s challenge follow us on Twitter and @reply to us with your idea.

JUMP: New Forum Assignment
This week’s Assignment theme is JUMP. It reminded me of this image that always made me chuckle. While perhaps not technically perfect it sure captured a moment (and that’s a big part of what photography is all about):

Camera Bag Recommendations: What’s Yours?
We ran this question/discussion just on two years ago now but a lot of new camera bags are now on the market so it’s time to do it again.
What camera bag do you use and recommend – and why?
- Do you use a brand like Crumpler, Tamrac or Lowpro OR do you prefer a more anonymous brand that looks less like a camera bag (and makes it less attractive to thieves)?
- Do you use a bag that is not really a camera bag at all?
- What features do you look for in a camera bag?
- Do you have more than one bag for different situations?
Last time the most popular bag was the Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (pictured). It’ll be interesting to see if it still ranks highest among our readers or whether another bag takes the cake now!

Candids: Weekend Photography Challenge
Trocadéro scene # 10 - by Gregory Bastien
This weekend your challenge is to take and share with us a photo on the theme of ‘Candid‘.
Feel free to take the theme in any direction you like. You might want to attach a nice long lens and photograph your kids in the back yard playing under a sprinkler (it’s summer here in Australia), it might be taking your camera out on a busy street or a festival to do some candid street photography, or perhaps you want to take a picture on some other take on the word candid.
Once you’ve taken your “LOVE” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSBW to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

I was actually a little surprised by the numbers that did have a photoblog – I guess the many in the DPS audience have discovered the joys of sharing their best shots online!

This weekend your challenge is to create a motivational poster of your own and to share it.
