A Panoromaic HDR….or, how to mush a ton of shots together

Monday, March 9, 2009

Click on the image to view a larger version!  Last week’s Borrego trip gave me plenty of opportunities to try out some new things.  With Photoshop CS4 on my laptop I wanted to play with a few new features.  One feature in particular was the new merge to panoramic. Sure, there have been panoramic merging [...]

What’s on your Mac…..CS____?

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

I broke down and did it.  CS4 is now on the gallery system! After reading about all the amazing updates in CS4 I couldn’t wait any longer.  Glad to say the business is paying for this!  Now, I’m no CS4 expert, especially since I just got it.  But I’ll be working on learning about all [...]

Requests, commissions, and the “boy I’d like to see thats….”

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

In the past few months I’ve learned a lot.  Ian has gotten a chuckle out of some of my gallery lessons.  The funny thing is, I keep re-learning them. Up front I’ll say the following, and I’m not crabbing, just relaying experience: When you order prints online you pay up front.  I’ve used MPix.com for [...]

I really should have marked it all down……

Add some additional links on my site, there’s a plan!  Too bad I forgot to jot down who attended the blogger gathering. [...]

30 Days – #21

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Arizona is a pretty dry state.  Yet there are things that grow here that you wouldn’t expect in a “dry” state.  Moss for instance…… As you walk through the Dells you’ll find moss hidden here and there.  On the rocks, between the rocks, growing on some trees.  It’s everywhere! Normally walking through the rock formations [...]

30 Days – #20

Saturday, September 20, 2008

Have you ever wanted to take a photo at a certain angle, but your shadow showed through?  Yeah, happens to all of us, doesn’t it? You can’t really make me out in this shot.  My shadow works across the rocks in an interesting way.  And my tripod shadow doesn’t look like a tripod.  More like [...]

30 Days – #19

Friday, September 19, 2008

Another day, another trip into the Dells. This morning required early meetings, early wake ups, and a long day.  Fortunately for the extra efforts I found myself free earlier than usual.  My friend Caden asked if I had any plans…. Yes, walk into the Dells again.  See whatever is there.  Get another cool sunset. Really [...]
