Learn how I take macro photos of tiny, magical worlds
1. START WITH THE GEAR YOU HAVE
One of the first questions I get asked is: what camera are you using?

Macro without macro lensI use the Sony Alpha 58, which is an entry level DSLR, together with the 18-55mm kit lens. That's right - it's actually not a macro lens I'm using! While it came down to the cost initially, to not use a dedicated macro lens, I think those restrictions also gave me an interesting

How to Make Wicked Features in 7 Steps
Hello there!
I'm UszatyArbuz (https://www.deviantart.com/uszatyarbuz) and today I want to tell you how to make your feature look fancy :B It isn't much to dump several thumbnails in a journal and post it - a lot of people will appreciate the feature anyway. But it takes a bit of thought to make people ask themselves "Why is this feature so appealing?". Since I started making features two years ago, I have posted almost 150 features on my personal account, and countless number of them on behalf groups, such as dAWishingWell (https://www.deviantart.com/dawishingwell) , CrazySquad (https://www.deviantart.com/crazysquad) , PixelChallenges (https://www.deviantart.com/pixelchallenges) and All-about-features (https://www.deviantart.com/all-about-features) , each and every in different type and purpose.

Art Merchandise 101: What is it?
As artists, we're mostly all familiar with designing our works with the thought of it one day being displayed in print or poster format.

Photography 101: Chapter 01: Basics and Looking
So, a few days ago I decided to ask through a poll and see if you guys were interested if I were to write about photography, how I work, and so on. I got a 100% positive outcome on that, so I decided to just go ahead and write a complete guide on photography. Considering I aspire to be a teacher one day, this is a great opportunity for me. Today, as I publish the first chapter of this guide, we start off with the basics, because these are important stepping stones in becoming a photographer!
