This website, DIY Photography, is all about the How-To's and How-They-Were-Made articles and videos about film and photography. There are articles about photographers and directors who have broken barriers and experimented with new ways to shoot a scene. Included are special tutorials on how to make specific effects on editing software, like Photoshop. An average viewer can learn ways to improve their photography without breaking the bank. This website is good for professionals as well as beginners alike. I would recommend this website to anyone wanting to learn more about taking pictures, videos, and editing. There are tabs on the website that lead to inspiration, equipment, and tutorials. In the gear section, a reader can learn about new gear and inexpensive gear. Good places to buy equipment and how to buy it without spending a lot of money are explained in those articles. I like how the website gives advice about cheap equipment because I do not want to overpay for my equipment. The inspiration section features incredible photos that can get the reader excited about shooting. In addition to the pictures, there are interesting articles about the photographers and how they shot the photos that are shown on the photo album. There are links to all of their social media accounts which is good advertising. They also have short tips on their social medias and they post links to their blogs. I give this a 5 rating because it is really interesting and useful.

I can't copy/paste the picture itself because it is a different type of file, but they have a 360 interactive image of the Super Bowl posted in the inspiration section on their website. I was able to zoom in and out and all around the stadium. It simulated actually being at the super bowl. The scene the picture was taken during was the opening ceremony, where Lady Gaga gave an amazing performance of our nation's National Anthem while soldiers held the flag and the audience he'd their hands to their hearts. I think it is a really creative way to display an event and I would be interested in learning how they did it. The same technique could be used to capture a concert or any other type of stadium ever where interesting things are happening all around. I think the is probably one of the coolest and most fun things on their website.
