    Crop conundrum

    The challenge I see with cropping this image is the brightness of the sun. My first instinct is to crop the top of the clouds off (10-15% of the top of the image). A tough decision is whether the lower right corner stays or goes. I think I would crop for a pano effect. I downloaded the file...

    Train Failure in a Tunnel

    My wife and I were recently in Palma de Mallorca and took the famous electric train to Sóller. As we were in the last downhill tunnel, one of the brakes seized. The conductor came through the cars and said that the repair would take 5-10 minutes but that the electricity would be out. The only...

    Image editing ok

    Re: Stop Action Fountain in Lisbon I wasn't asking you to delete the post and wasn't offended. (Feel free to undelete it.) My view says that editing was NOT ok. Do you see something different?

    Stop Action Fountain in Lisbon

    Not sure if this effect works or not and would appreciate feedback and opinions. I tried to use a fast shutter speed to capture individual water droplets on a fountain in Lisbon while blurring the background as much as possible.

    Douro Valley Panoramic

    My wife and I made a day trip to the Douro Valley from Porto yesterday. The rain was moving into the valley. This is a 4 image pano made with Autopano Giga, saved as a TIFF, cropped in PS CS6 with color adjustment via Color Efex Pro, imported into LR4 and exported to resize, add frame and...

    Catedral De Palma (La Seu)

    Another spot to add to your photography bucket list: Catedral de Santa María de Palma de Mallorca (La Seu). The light through the stain glass is awe inspiring. The sunlight is so bright that it creates patterns inside the cathedral. A few images from my wife and I today. The last is a HDR using...

    Initial Impressions: 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 Lens

    The 18.5mm is turning out to be a great close-up lens. I was about 12 inches away and slightly cropped the image. I can't see any reason to get the FT1. Similar view stopped down and not so close:

    Using LR to change color? YES!

    I just watched a new episode of Julianne Kost's video blog on Adobe TV regarding controlling selective color change in Lightroom. WOW! I knew that what she demonstrates was possible but didn't have a good grasp. This video so clearly demonstrates the technique that I think it will change how I...

    Ponte Vecchio

    Snowy and icy day here in Philly is a great time to go back and re-process old images. I went back and re-worked this image of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence (or Firenze as my Italian friends would say) made during a trip in 2009. I literally took this by hanging my camera out of a window in the...

    Initial Impressions: 1 NIKKOR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

    I've only had the recently released 1 NIKKOR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 lens a couple days with just a little time to give it a detailed work out. First impressions are very, very good. I love wide angle perspective and until this lens was released, I was frustrated by my V1. Knowing my shooting style...
