"Really liked the different perspective/point of view, made it stand out from the rest of the entries. Very unique idea that was well thought out. The various layers and colors of the fall trees captures how close a harvest moon appears to be just within reach."

Chat Tutorial #10 - Anatomy of a chatroomThis should have been the first article
Ez a Tutorial magyar nyelven is elérhető!
So I noticed that when I try to explain certain things about chatrooms for helpees, they have no idea where is the title, topic area of the chatroom or if that even exists. I'd like to help with that.
I made a screenshot of my chatroom, cropped out certain areas and marked them with words

I'll write down some things about those areas and I'll try to include some tips as well.
So here we go.

a - Chatroom tab
This is a very useful thing. Why? Because instead of one million browser windows, you can have one window open and have as many connections to dAmn chatroom as you want. You can close one as well but without leaving the other rooms as well.
b - Title of the chatroom
Area is empty when you first enter your own ch

An Absurd Interview with thelasth0peWelcome to Absurd Interviews: The best invention since toilet paper

It is said that the last thing you lose is h0pe right? Well this isn't the case, because h0pe is not lost and actually, h0pe is here, doing his most cute duck face ever. What can be better than h0pe doing a duck face? H0pe doing a duck face while being interviewed of course!
So girls, boys, ducks, and every combination between those, today we interview:

Hello Bradley. How are you today?
Excellent! :iconmrburnsplz:
Everytime I see your icon feel like I'm talking to Gaga. Have you ever mistaken a person with another and had an awkward situation from that?
Yes, all the time.

My father is bald, and if you know bald people, you'd know that they all look semi-identical from the back. Anyway, we were at a shopping centre and I got lost - so I wandere

Welcome to the 2012 dASAW! [Updated]Welcome to the 2012 deviantART Staff Appreciation Week!

Hello everyone, and welcome to our second annual deviantART Staff Appreciation Week! We hope that you're as excited as we are to kick off a 7-day-long celebration of deviantART and the people who make it run smoothly for us!
For this week of contests, projects, love, points, prizes, more love, and devious shenanigans, our team of volunteers has worked very hard to organize many ways of telling the staff of deviantART, rather simply, "THANK YOU!"
So, without further ado, let's take a look at our schedule of events! If you are interested in seeing what's happening during the dASAW, you can refer to this journal! We will link to all of our pertinent news articles and post the dates of our contests and projects here!
Don't forget to wish the deviantART staff a happy dASAW! :iconeeeeeplz:

Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing HalloweenHalloween brings with it the chance to combine many areas of Photography whether you are presented with a field of pumpkins, decorated houses, close up spooky food creations or indeed infants and children adorned in the cutest of costumes. In terms of vibrancy, fall/Autumn and Halloween combine wonderfully to create a time of color, emotion and interesting subjects. So it's often difficult to know where to start, but the key elements behind arming yourself with the camera don't differ that much from how you should behave day to day when shooting.
Still Life Photography Tips
Halloween is about the drama and you can capture this and convey it in your images by getting in close and filling a frame with your subject. People or objects alike, getting in close will add a bit more drama to your shots. If you're capturing food and in particular cupcakes or other Halloween treats and desserts then consider making your background Halloween themed too. Orange paper,

deviantART's Birthday Hunt!Update! I know that a few of you are having problems, so I'll give a few clues:

Everyone involved in the Hunt here is a Community Volunteer.

One of the letters has something to do with their name.

Every thread should lead to the next thread, except the last and final thread which has no clue!
Though there is one currently going on in the chatrooms here, the +chats go hand in hand with the +forums, which means there is another hunt taking place to celebrate deviantART's 12th birthday!
This particular hunt focuses on just two letters only, in which one letter will lead you to a particular forum, and the other to a particular deviant. As each clue leads you to another forum, a new deviant, we are asking you to...

Jot the names of these people down.

Take down the name of the forum they posted in.

Famous Photographs: The Afghan GirlIf you run a google search on what are the top famous Photographs of all time, The Afghan Girl is sure to appear. She is truly a face from History and one that many across the globe have tried to capture within others time and time again. But what exactly has made this image and its photographer so captivating?
Source: Daily Mail/National Geographic/Steve McCurry
Eyes, they say, are the window to the soul. And capturing such a piercing and expressive look in a photograph is a highly sought after skill. The Afghan Girl exhibits suspense, suspicion and a sense of distrust at the person behind the lens, she gives off an air of maturity, a foreboding feeling - a vulnerability behind years of strength. That, is what makes her so captivating.
Sharbat Gula is her name, although few even know this rather important detail. Sh

Calendar Project 2012 - Dec 23rd

Fri Nov 30, 2012, 9:11 AM

Forgot to mention that all winners will be announced at the end of the project, December 25th!

It’s that time of the year again when the CSS fairy wants to annoy you all with glitter, fun and skins. If you haven’t heard it yet, this year the Calendar project will be a mix of the original CSS calendar and the daily tasks version from 2011.
Hope you will enjoy it!

Each day, from December 1st till December 24th, there will be either a free and new journal skin released or you will be given a task you can join to win fancy prizes.

For days you can grab a brand new journal skin I will do a feature with said skin as well as providing a link to the deviation as soon as available for you.

On days with a task i will link you to a Sta.sh document, so that you will get to know your new mission. If you enter a specific task please link me to your entries with a comment at the matching Sta.sh document.
No notes please, only replies to my Sta.sh documents will count as valid entries.

Out of all the members that enter one lucky person will be picked to receive the daily prize.
Prizes will always be announced together with the task, that way you can decide whether you want to join that days task or wait for a more suitable one. Prizes will vary depending on the difficulty of the task.

If you have any questions or don't understand something poke me and ask me!
_{This project means daily journal updates (as per previous years). Sometimes even more than once a day. If you don't like that, unwatch my journals until 24th December!}
