Borders and Logos, it’s Photoshop, Oh My!
That’s right, we’re back to a photoshop tip again on the blog, and this one comes courtesy of question I read in the NAPP community forums. The person there had asked about pricing on some photography for a large company’s set of employee photos and his concern was about the post production time in creating the border and logo that the company wanted on each. The community quickly sprung to action, pointing him in several directions, and it occurred to me that I had never done this sort of tutorial before! It’s not too difficult but there are some pitfalls … Continue reading
Go soak your gear!
It pays to review your web traffic periodically because I just learned a way that your bathtub can be used for photography! Not only is it a good place to mellow out after a stressful shoot, but it also makes a heckuva softbox! I was on a forum that had referenced the blog and a guy had some product that he placed in his tub. I thought it was an interesting idea, and decided to give it a try. As it turns out, the tub is a great place to put your gear! Granted, not to soak it (sorry, but … Continue reading
Look out behind you!
We’re always looking forward, upward and downward to find a unique perspective or angle on things – to create something unique and interesting. Well, today, I’ve got an example of how sometimes the interesting shots are behind you! In this particular case, it’s doubly true. This is also from the photo walk out in El Dorado from last weekend, and what makes it doubly true is because we were out looking to capture the beuaty of the mountains, the trees, and the amazing Colorado skies. At one waypoint between hiking trails, we took a rest stop and used some of … Continue reading
Take your camera with you!
I was driving home from work yesterday with my camera bag in the seat next to me when I saw this on the opposite side of the road. So, I swung around, popped out of the car, set up and used the roof of the car for stability and snapped off a few shots wide open and about 800 ISO. As a full-size image it is a bit noisy, but here it looks pretty good. To me, that’s proof positive that it always pays to have your camera with you. That’s the “Tuesday Tip” for this week. Enjoy and Happy … Continue reading
Just under the wire…
enver did mighty fine yesterday in their handling of the Raiders, so hats off to them for getting the season started on the right note. Go Broncos! As you may have guessed from yesterday’s post, today is Tutorial Tuesday, and since time is ticking away from me here, I’ll get right to it. The tutorial today does a comparison of reducing noise from the built in settings inside Photoshop versus a third party plugin. Granted, I went through it pretty quick and didn’t go into a lot of detail on the various settings, but I did want to give you … Continue reading
Tuesday Two Minute Tip
That’s right, I’ve finally gotten back in the saddle for some good old fashioned Photoshop fun. Today, it’s a quickie, but then again, that’s how we like our information on the web: short, sweet, and to the point. Today I give a little tip on how you can use the Clouds filter in Photoshop. This technique works in pretty much any of the last 3 iterations of the software (I am assuming it works in CS – I got into the game in CS2 worlds…). Anyway, take a gander on the download feed listed at the end of the post. … Continue reading
