dSLR Dad

The dSLR Dad Flickr Group has been created and is now active. Please take the time to visit the Group and publish your best photography. There are five very important rules that are put in place when signing up:

Rule 1: You must be a Dad, current or soon-to-be. Sorry, no exceptions. Membership has it’s privileges ;-)

Rule 2: All images must be kid-safe.

Rule 3: All comments are to be polite and must contain both positive and constructive criticism. After all, we all need to learn how to make our best photographs even better.  We are Dads, not professional photographers, let’s all try and remember that.

Rule 4: All images you publish are yours and yours alone. You may not post any image that you did not personally make since that would be a violation of US Copyright law.

Rule 5: Post your best work, we want to see it.

Today is the Day for dSLR Dads everywhere. How did you celebrate?

I just wanted everyone to know that I have updated a few things on The Media Shelf page. Most notably to you regular dSLR Dads is a brief review of From Camera To Print – A Fine Art Printing Video Tutorial by The Luminous Landscape and Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3. I’ll be working on more in-depth reviews of those products at a later date.

For those of you who are new to dSLR Dad (and judging by the incoming StumbleUpon links there are quite a number of you), I have set up The Media Shelf to be a collection of books, video, and all things media that will be of great resource for the dSLR Dad.

I have updated the main page of the dSLR Dad Amazon Store to list the top twenty items that you dSLR Dad’s have voted for to finish off 2007. That vote of course being with what is most important, your own wallets. On the first ten products listed on the storefront, there are the top-five books.

So what were the Books that made it to the top 5?

1. Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second by Bryan Peterson
2. The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby
3. Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 by Scott Kelby (more…)
