Transport Photography is a hard nut to break sometimes. Most people either are into it seriously or they just capture the odd motion shot of transport here and there without really planning. Either way is fine of course - hopefully the past week has offered a little insight into the types of things that can be found in the Transportation Gallery and a few handy hints and tips here and there.

PE: Conceptual Week - mini interviews

What Does the Word "Concept" Mean to You? - mini interviews with deviants

The same as `FaMz (some time ago) I asked deviants about their interpretation of conceptual photography. Here are some of them.
What does the word "Concept" mean to you? What are your usual subjects/study in your concepts (photographs) and how do you develop them?
~Julie-de-Waroquier :iconduchesse-2-Guermante:
I think that "concept" can refer to an idea in its broadest meaning, not necessarily to a clear message. It is more like a symbol in a picture.
My usual subjects are everything that exists inside the human mind (feelings, thoughts, desires, fears,...). I like to make the invisible become visible in my pictures through concepts. I thus resort to symbolism, in order to represent the concepts I want to depict: I choose props, lights, settings, that can represent the concept I have in mind. Everything becomes a symbol

PE: Tips & Tricks for Conceptual Photography

Project Educate: Tips & Tricks for Conceptual Photography
Conceptual photography may seem like an intimidating field to get into, but it's not as difficult as it might seem. Here are some tips to get you started on thinking like a conceptual photographer.
Conceptual photography fascinates not too many more photographers than it frustrates. The skill required in composition, not merely with regards to technical or aesthetic consideration but also for mind-breaking, clever metaphors and ideas, is a difficult one to acquire. This article aims to help someone develop an eye for composition in conceptual photography.
Before We Begin
It's hard to tell an artist how to approach their art. After all, every artist has a different approach. This is especially true of conceptual photography. However, once you get started into conceptual photographs, your own style and methods will soon emerge. It's t

PE Architecture Photography: Introduction
Architecture Photography: Introduction

Welcome to the #projecteducate Architecture Photography Week!
Boy oh boy! I've been preparing this for a few weeks now so I gathered quite a few articles for you guys! To begin with, I will introduce you to the Architecture Photography Gallery on deviantART with all its sub-categories. Then we'll move on to the basics in Architecture Photography in order to help you take successful photographs. We will also see some of the trends around the Gallery with inspiring examples, just to give you a taste of what you can do and encourage you to give it a try as well!
Along with all these articles, I've also prepared interviews with remarkable architecture photographers within the community, but also outside deviantART! I hope you'll enjoy to get to know these people better.
There is an Architecture Photography Critique Event plan

PE Architecture: Perspective
Architecture Photography Basics: Perspective

Taking photographs is basically capturing a 3-dimensional space in two dimensions. The main principle governing this transformation is the principle of perspective, which represents the effect of a subject's space and depth in a 2-dimensional plane. The perspective effect in a photo is determined by the position it is taken from and the direction the camera is pointing. In other words, you can only change the perspective within an image by changing your standpoint.

'Godspeed' by ~Sigurd-Quast
Vanishing points play an important role in the portrayal of architectural forms. If parallel lines in 3-dimensional space extend into the distance, a photographic image will represent them as intersecting on a defined vanishing point. If you point your camera directly at the horizon, all vertical lines within the fram will actually appear vertical in your image. This is an
