Learning Photography


Dyxum provides you many possibilities in the way of improving your photographic technique and aestethics. This index should be your starting point when you are looking for suggestions. If you can't find something here, make sure you also check our Articles index.

Learning Activities

Photographic Assignments
A series of advanced and challenging photography tasks that are designed to make you develop your photography skills on the way to complete them. If you are feeling comfortable with your equipment, but willing to develop your artistic side, this is the place for you.

Critics Corner Forum
A forum dedicated to in-depth evaluations of photographs. If you have a shot that you have a feeling towards, but not precisely sure why, this is the place to ask for other people's opinions. All kinds of advanced photography debates are welcome, just chatting is prohibited.

Open and Themed Views Forums
In these two forums you can share your photos freely, and get all types of comments on them. Their main use is showcasing your photographs, but the comments you recieve can be very useful as well.

Contests and Challenges
These events are a great oppurtunity to see how well you can do against other photographers. A little competition can be rewarding:)

Just noticed another post of someone getting burned by ordering from online shops... so as suggested in the last post here
a topic for good and bad experiences with online stores might be of benefit to those getting tickled by the 'too good to be true deals'.

Although not foolproof, or rather lie proof with people listing their experiences, I think the dyxum crowd is a LOT more trustworthy than some dodgy-biased replies (two positive amongst ten negative type of thing) you get on those 'online-shop-comparison/feedback' sites.
Or maybe like the lens reviews database, it feels more personal reading a review or experience of our members in regard to anything really, and in the end if it saves someone a headache or even quite a bit of cash then its worth it.

Could be similar to the "thankyou" thread, or even a collection or a unified thread of things already posted (if there isnt one already that i didnt find/see?)


ps. yes I typed this as it came into my head, apologies for the 'raw data'
A100/700 - Sig14/2.8, S30/1.4, Tam17-50/2.8 - T90/2.8 - T70-200/2.8 - Min70-210/4 - Kenko 2x --- M42: Pallas 28/2.8 - Mir 37/2.8 - Helios 135/2.8 - SuperTakumar 55/1.8, 135/3.5

There are some links to flash advice in the flash review area, but some links and/or discussion topics here would be nice. Maybe a topic regarding sports shooting for common techniques as well. Thanks!
