Welcome To PhotographersDelight!

A group for all photographers. It doesn't matter if you're a novice or hobbyist just learning how to take that perfect shot or a well-established professional. Do you love taking photographs? PhotographersDelight is a place for all those are passionate about photography.



The group's aim is to serve as a platform to share the work of fellow photographers and support them.


Submission Guidelines & Rules:


Join requests are automatically accepted.

Please submit your photographs to the right folder. There are a plethora of categories to choose from, so please use your discretion. If you submit to the wrong folder repeatedly, the deviation will be removed.

Please RESPECT the group and its members. Do not submit multiple photos of the same thing from your gallery in this group. Be thoughtful and select your good works only. We want photography, not spam.

Remember Quality>Quantity.

Photographs submitted to Featured, Black and White, People (all), Macro (general & nature) and Misc. categories are subject to vote. Rest of them are automatically approved.

If these rules are violated, the above rule will be changed and all categories will be subject to vote.


THINGS TO REMEMBER:



:bulletred: Photos are rarely declined, only those submitted for contests which DO NOT follow the contest rules. In this case, you will be asked to resubmit a contest entry that complies with the rules.

:bulletred: We DO NOT accept anything that is overtly sexual, pornographic, racist, abusive or discriminatory in any way. This group is open for everyone to join and I'd like to keep it accessible to everyone. No works with a mature tag.

:bulletred: We DO NOT accept any literature, journals, photomanipulation and photographs that are in violation of copyright.

:bulletred: Do not be rude to the admin or the members. No drama will be tolerated. This is a place of community spirit and positivity. Members violating this will be kicked out.

Basic quality standards:


  • Photos must be taken with a proper camera. No photographs taken with mobile phones will be accepted unless it is of very high quality. No selfies please. Artistic self-portraits however, are accepted.

  • Photographs must be 500px or more. No overly pixelated or low resolution photos will be accepted.

  • Avoid submitting photos that have too much noise, a lack of clarity/ too blurry, photos that are underexposed or overexposed. Please no low quality photos.

  • Watermarks are allowed as long as it doesn't distract from the focus on the main subject of the photograph. No DA watermarks.


If you do not follow the rules for submission and follow the folder guide, the deviation will be removed from the gallery. Exceptions are:

a) Wrong folder submission, in which case the photo will be moved to the right place for the first time only.

b) Miscategorization of the photo itself, in that case you will be asked to resubmit it to the right category after which the photo will be accepted, provided it meets the guidelines.

For a better description of the folder categories, please refer to this journal:
FOLDER GUIDE:Just a detailed description to help you find your way around the gallery folders. :-)

i was reading your rules for submission and went i downscale my photos to 300DPI i can't submit anything... then face palmed when i realized you meant pixel measurements.

I don't think there's a single photography group on DA where photos are classified based on DPI. I'm talking about screen resolution not image resolution, because DPI wouldn't make too much of a difference unless you're gonna download the photo & zoom all the way in. We're a simple group, we're not looking for super-pro pixel perfect photos. ;)


PS: A minor fix to the rules should make it a little less confusing.

nah it's fine I've been getting over a cold and thought I would share the Face palm moment i had because it's been so long since i've actually defined my own pixel size as anything other then a ratio when cropping raw photo data.
