Photoshop Video Contest: Entry #1

November 2, 2009 in Contest, Lightroom, Personal, Photography, Photoshop, Tutorials, Video, Workflow

So, You Think You Can Teach Photoshop?!As you will notice, I’ve begun making a few changes around here. Most notably with the layout. Every 6-9 months I like to freshen things up a bit and give the site a little face lift and since my last redesign was in March, I felt that it was due. There are still some bugs to work out as I get used to this new system, so please bear with me.

Now that NAPP‘s So You Think You Can Teach Photoshop?! contest is closed and the judging is soon to be under way, I thought I would share my entries with you. Read the rest of this entry →

"A Capitol Idea" - Gordon McGregor of Photo Expressions

I almost wasn’t going to share this one until I tried it for myself, but it’s just an interesting concept that I had to. This comes from Gordon McGregor of the blog Photo Expressions, a source I will often go to for inspiration and projet ideas.

Gordon shares with us how he was on a recent photowalk around Austin, TX that headed straight for the capitol building (above) – a location he’s shot countless times. In an effort to capture a familiar subject in a new way, Gordon shot about 200 frames at differing EV values – with the same white balance – and used some fairly “non-standard settings, to make it work badly” using Photoshop’s photomerge.

The result is this visually stimulating photo that keeps you in the image longer than if it were just another pano of an old building. Well done, Gordon! I’ll have to try that one sometime!
