2011.02.27 I’m reading a book on LAB color in Photoshop that was recommended to me by David Nightingale of Chromasia.com. “The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace.” You would think this would be a bit dry and boring, but it is actually a very entertaining book so far. I had to…
Lone Surfer Not much to say tonight. Had some computer problems so just getting an image up is good.
2011.02.21 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, flowers are too easy to photograph. I don’t mean they are easy to make an interesting image of, I simply mean they are always there, tempting you, pulling you in, saying, “look at me, take a picture.” Too easy sometimes. Making an interesting image of…
Anna This is a portrait I took a while ago at Zuma Beach. I haven’t had a chance recently to take too many photos so I’m just playing around with some older ones. I added a few textures to this. I really am just fooling around with photoshop today, but I like the way this…
One more from Black Rock Beach. I’m working on my skills in LAB color in Photoshop. A very powerful color space, and there is much to learn. I hadn’t thought about using it to sharpen parts of the photo, but the “L” channel does that well. (If that didn’t make any sense, don’t worry about…
2011.2.10 I’m a bit behind posting this, but I’ve been trying to work on the website. I’m not great at website stuff so I got slowed down. One of the things I wanted to do was add a “show original” link so you can see some of my images as they came straight from the…
2011-02-07 Devin This is Devin. I always sort of liked this picture, but there was always something wrong. This is another picture I played with at David Nightingale’s “Creating Dramatic Images” workshop this past weekend. I adjusted the colors pretty dramatically and it started to come together for some reason. It may be hard to…
Samantha I posted a picture sort of like this a while back, but I wanted to re-work it into black and white. I used some of the techniques we worked on in my workshop with David Nightingale and I appreciate his help and feedback. I tried to work it with a stronger background, and also…
Black Rock Beach This is from one of my favorite beaches in the world. This weekend I’m spending some time in a workshop put on by David Nightingale from Chromasia. If you haven’t seen his tutorials take a look. I’ve learned more from them then from any other source. A lot of work with curves…
Holding up the World Just a little fun today. I’m on my way to Austin for some workshops tomorrow. I’m pretty excited about it. More to come soon.
