As we’re over a year into the Official r/photography Print Swap, we want to be sure that only active members are signed up. In order to do that, we are purging the sign-up list, and asking that if you’d like to continue participating in the swap you please sign up again via this form.
We are also addressing the issue of the monthly share thread being inactive. I can officially introduce the new subreddit /r/rphotographyprintswap. On the new sub you can post the prints you received at any time as it’s own post. Please read the rules over there for the proper formatting of posts.
I am also still looking for some extra hands to keep the project running. If you can volunteer some of your time to the swap, please fill out this form, and I will get back via Reddit PM.
We hope these adjustments revitalize the swap and keep it running successfully.

Have a simple question that needs answering?
Feel like it's too little of a thing to make a post about?
Worried the question is "stupid"?
Worry no more! Ask anything and /r/photography will help you get an answer.
Info for Newbies and FAQ!
This video is the best video I've found that explains the 3 basics of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.
Check out /r/photoclass_2018 (or /r/photoclass for old lessons).
Posting in the Album Thread is a great way to learn!
It forces you to select which of your photos are worth sharing
2) You should judge and critique other people's albums, so you stop, think about and express what you like in other people's photos.
3) You will get feedback on which of your photos are good and which are bad, and if you're lucky we'll even tell you why and how to improve!
If you want to buy a camera, take a look at our Buyer's Guide or www.dpreview.com
If you want a camera to learn on, or a first camera, the beginner camera market is very competitive, so they're all pretty much the same in terms of price/value. Just go to a shop and pick one that feels good in your hands.
Canon vs. Nikon? Just choose whichever one your friends/family have, so you can ask them for help (button/menu layout) and/or borrow their lenses/batteries/etc.
/u/mrjon2069 also made a video demonstrating the basic controls of a DSLR camera. You can find it here
There is also /r/askphotography if you aren't getting answers in this thread.
There is also an extended /r/photography FAQ.
PSA: /r/photography has affiliate accounts. More details here.
If you are buying from Amazon, Amazon UK, B+H, Think Tank, or Backblaze and wish to support the /r/photography community, you can do so by using the links. If you see the same item cheaper, elsewhere, please buy from the cheaper shop. We still have not decided what the money will be used for, and if nothing is decided, it will be donated to charity. The money has successfully been used to buy reddit gold for competition winners at /r/photography and given away as a prize for a previous competition.

Working off feedback from past students, I’m in the process of revising one of my intro to digital assignments to make it better for my current class. It got me wondering about what assignments were big hits with other reddit instructors.

I have a few friends who own cameras because they love to take pictures. But I find they only ever use it when they go away on vacation, so usually it’s just sitting there waiting to be used
How often do you guys use your cameras and for what purposes?

/r/photography is a place to discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography. This is not a good place to simply share cool photos or promote your work, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Rules
Posting images is only allowed as self-post, using the photo as an example for the discussion, or to ask a photography-related question. The image should be linked within the text of the self-post and be used in support of an overall topic/question rather than the focus of the post. If you want to share an image you've taken, you're welcome to post in /r/photographs. You can also post in subreddits like /r/pics, /r/itookapicture, or for critique, /r/photocritique. For film photos, check out /r/analog.
Questions asking for help (including equipment purchasing advice) should be posted as comments in the most recent Official Question thread, stickied at the top of the subreddit. Before posting, please check our extensive FAQ, your question may already have been answered! When seeking purchase recommendations, please be specific about how much you can spend. (See here for guidelines.)
Interesting discussion questions on broader topics may be permitted as self posts at the discretion of the moderators. If you do not wish to post your simple questions to the Official Questions thread we cordially invite you to post your question to r/askphotography, they love questions as standalone posts!
Want to talk about some fun or interesting projects you're working on? Got some new (or new-to-you) gear you want to share? Looking to bounce some ideas off of other people for things you want to try? Post in the most recent Community Discussion thread.
If you've lost or found a piece of photography equipment, please head over to the Lost & Found.
Meta discussions about the subreddit itself should be directed to r/metaphotography.
If you want to sell a photography item to redditors or want to buy a photography item from a redditor, please use /r/photomarket. If you just want to share some great photography-related deals, post in the Monthly Deals thread.
We do not allow blogspam, ads, shortlinks, self-promotion (including seeking votes for your contest entry, crowdsourced funding, and referral links), circlejerking, karmawhoring, surveys, or DAE/ITAP posts.
No personal attacks of any kind. Violations may result in a ban.
Use the flair system only for your portfolio and nothing else! Not allowed for example: Gear, blogspam, shortlinks.
Affiliate Links
Shopping using these links generates cash for /r/photography projects, such as prizes for our competitions. More info here.
