Black and white photography

Photography world seems to be going completely digital and colorful, black and white photography causes us to pause in thought. Even though it seems 2-dimensional to the uninitiated, there is a depth to it that color just seems to take away. B&W photography creates a mood of it's own, that just can't be duplicated with color.

Mysticism and mystery, fascinating shapes and forms, light, shadows and outlines - FeaturePics Authors enjoy experimenting, they create black and white and sepia-toned images using a variety of techniques.

Pictures of horses

America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, could not have come into existence if not for the horse. It provided us with the means to travel thousands of miles across country that we could not have traveled on foot. It carried us, our food, and our families, across thousands of miles of the most inhospitable land on Earth.

We owe all that we have to these wonderful animals, and we owe a great debt of thanks to Filmgirl for providing these images to the world to remind us of these wonderful animals.

Oh, MiGod, not pink again!

Women and men have different aesthetics. If you know you are designing for women - what graphics would you use?

Female orientation in web design

Male oriented design

Picture of Duel

Male subjects tended to assign higher ratings to pages designed by men.
Men responded better to dark colors and straight, horizontal lines across a page.
Men were more pleased by a three-dimensional look and images of "self-propelling" rather than stationary objects.

Male oriented design

Gradual Highlight image effect

A script makes any image appear dull before the mouse moves over it; as the mouse moves over it, the image gradually changes to its original appearance
The good old "Gradual Highlight" image effect seen on many web pages, is an old one, but it can still be used in image galleries. It is useful for navigation buttons as well.

How to create fractals that sell!

rendered flame fractal with heart shapes

I am using mostly Apophysis to create fractals for stock, but the tips and tricks here may be applied to other programs. Fractal programs (often called "generator" rather then programs are often free, just do a Google on it!

And yes, you can sell fractals as stock because you have altered the original formula and therefore created original art...

Save the Siberian Huskies

The Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue (DVSHR) was incorporated in 1995 and registered as a Nonprofit 501(c)(3). The mission of the organization is to find permanent homes for unwanted Siberian Huskies, provide public education on the breed, and assist Siberian owners in dealing with training issues.

Each year the DVSHR publishes their annual calendar, which is their single largest annual fund raising event. This year, through the generosity of Featurepics.com, some background images from their authors were used in creating this calendar.
