I occasionally send out "The Viewfinder" e-newsletter, and provide free presets and workshop discounts.
I never over-post, share your info, and you can opt out at any time.
Hi David, thanks for asking. I like photoshop tricks and techniques, sometimes just little things – like when you taught us how to make the layer thumbs bigger. Textures are interesting, as are blending modes. All good though, love your work and appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Michael, thanks for your feedback. As HDR is so heavily covered on other blogs, I will be offering a single-shot version of multi-shot HDR I call EDR. Extended Dynamic Range uses layered Photoshop ‘Smart Object Layers’ for multi-exposure light-painting from any RAW image. It’s easier than it sounds. A series of Video Tutorials coming soon!
Hi Roberta, I do plan to lecture and blog more about this subject. It could take several tutorials to address this art form. A Seattle workshops series devoted to imaginative montage and realistic compositing is being planned for early 2013. Also, a fantastic workshop in Maine this coming June: “Creativity and Invention in Photoshop” — A week of shooting on location, learning my compositing and digital darkroom techniques. It will be posted on my website AND here in this blog.
What interests me is the creative process. I’d love to hear about the steps it takes to get you to the finished image. Travels are wonderful to hear about.
Thanx Robin! I appreciate your input.
