The Street Photography Addiction Test (SPAST)

A weekly selection amongst the images I liked,

Urbex #12" Water is life's mater, matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."
If you had a childhood like mine, you'll have enjoyed spending much of it in Water parks, whether these were in built up urban areas or on the coast. So you'll remember that sound of screaming (with happiness!), laughing, the smell of hot dogs, and the feeling of warm concrete on bare feet. It certainly stirs up some memories - and it's easy to picture all of that when looking at the below. How sad it is though, that these places no longer have the echo of children's laughter, and are no longer captured in family photographs. Instead they're explored by your average Urbex'r in a desperate bid to preserve history!

We are looking for adminsDear members,
The #r72 infrared photography group is currently looking for people who are interested in becoming part of the administrator team. We are doing this because some of the “old” admins have become too occupied with other tasks, and also to enrich the group with new ideas. As an admin of #r72 your main responsibilities would be the following:
- Participate in the voting process by which we select the photographs which make it into our gallery. This involves writing an explanatory message to members whose submission was declined.
- Compile the monthly “Best of” feature (we take turns, so you don’t have to do it every month).
- Discuss current topics with the other admins.
- Keep your eyes open for good IR pictures and potential new members of the group.
You don’t have to be a professional photographer who has been shooting infrared pictures since before it was considered cool. However, some experience is clearly called for, since you

Day twoSo as of today I am at day two of my new photography adventure. I have Placed all my photos I deemed acceptable on here with a water mark. If there is anyone who would like to use one as a practice piece for drawing and such, feel free to message me and I will consider each, one case by case. I am trying to sell these art pieces, however I understand the plight of a new artist needing material to practice from. I am more than willing to consider sending the original digital file to a person if they request for these reasons. I request that it not become a published piece however unless it is drastically different than the original and I would still like to be credited for your base art. Thanks to all.

New here.I am so new here, i don't know much about this website. Can anyone tell me exactly what everything is? Like the prints thing? You can actually sell your art on here? Does that go for photography also? Can someone please explain how this all works?

Photographer Shout OutsI have been extremely lucky to know and be friends with so many amazing photographers over the past couple years. Such as Animazeguy-photosnxs, PennyPhotography, N3 Photography, and Elysiam Entertainment.

But I have to gush about a really great friend of mine, I've known for 2 years, who I'm extremely proud of and will support every step of the way, Daniel Gray. He is such a fantastic photographer, professional to work with and has a supremely loveable personality. I feel super lucky to be featured on this man's photography page with my little sister Eleanor Lamb cosplay from Bioshock 2, Yuffie FF Advent Children cospl

Gonna start taking requests?maybe... it depends on the request really x_x but yes i will start taking certain requests now. Since a lot of people ask if I do, I don't want to let anyone down. xD

Contest Folder (Action Shot)I am starting a contest for each week. Submit work under contest folder for that week. This week's contest is an Action shot. Submit by next Sunday.

Hi Members & VisitorsHi

:icondevwatchwelcomeplz:
I hope you all doing great and having a good day !
I wanted to talk about this group and make things clear to you all

At first when I decided to do this group for two reasons,
First , I wanted to had this experience of having my own Group

Second , I wanted this group to be the place where beginners and every photographer can develop their skills. I remember when I just started photographing, I was using only my cellphone camera and I remember how I was in need to someone that can I ask or a place that can develop my skills.
So, here's this group, you can ask anything about photography, you can find your inspiration and you can share your work!
Thanks a lot for reading !

Yours
