The Link System - 23rd EditionOn behalf of #dALinkSystem I'm proud to present you some of our finest works

#dALinkSystem is a Group dedicated towards increasing artists exposure by helping others and themselves through a simple and effective "Linking" system. All media is accepted.

The idea:

Link another artists submission in your artist's comment box. It helps everyone's exposure and finds undiscovered art.
If you still feel a little confused I invite you to go through our DD Awarded User's Manual and the How To Link Video Tutorial

Enjoy them, comment on them and remember to visit the photographers' galleries as well.
If you like what you see, this article
so it can reach as many deviants as possible.

Have a nice weekend!

Where to find Street in dAWell...obviously not in the site's Street Gallery unless you are willing to dig hard.
I've been hearing complaints and I'm complaining myself about the Street Gallery. As it seems it is impossible to open people's heads and stick the definition of Street Photography (if there is one) on their brains.
So, what can we do?
Fav the real street images that you see in the Street Gallery
This way, they'll rise above the empty streets, girlfriends, converse shoes and all the irrelevant stuff that floods the Gallery, in the Popular view of it.
Watch the Street Groups
and enjoy the street shots that come everyday in your inbox.
Once, there was only one Street club in dA. Now there are several Street groups that you can follow.
Try them, find out which ones are alive, which ones are worth watching, stick to them and support them.
In alphabetical order , I present you the Street groups of deviantArt

1: 50/50 Nikon D90 / Sony Nex
2: Leica M9P + 35mm
3: Shoot. A lot. Be inside the action, to feel what´s going on with small focal lenght, or step back to realize a worthy context, but never be afraid to press the shutter. Never. You´re doing nothing wrong.

1. I have a 5DmkII and an EOS300 (film). Both share the same 35mm f/2 lens. I use them almost equally.
2. I think the best camera is the one in your hand. I know it is a cliche but then again the problem most if the times is not at the camera but at the photographer.
