Last post for a while. I'm going to Hawaii for Thanksgiving to visit my cousin who just moved there. She's been trying to convince me to start an animation studio on the Big Island. I must admit, it sounds attractive. Come on, who's with me?!?!

I'll leave you with this: my painting of Chicken Joe...based on a drawing by Character Designer, Sylvain Deboissy.

Capturing landscapes can be a rewarding and fun way for us to use our digital cameras. Here’s an easy-to-follow tutorial that shows us the import things to keep in mind when we want to take our landscapes pictures from ordinary to exceptional.

I like this article I found over at photopreneur because it got me thinking that there must be many people who would just love to break into the photography business one small step at a time. Not just anyone can quit their day job and decide that they are now a photographer full-time. It makes much more sense to get one's feet wet and see if it takes.

"Not everyone wants to be a full-time photographer. There are plenty of people who love shooting images and taking beautiful pictures — and who still want to keep doing a day job they enjoy and which they can count on to pay the mortgage.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t also turn their photography skills into a source of income.

Here’s how you can do it…"

This is so cool. Texturing is a lot of fun and a great way to make your images pop and add more interest. I love doing this sort of thing with Senior’s and or maybe even engagements. It gives the images a grungy textured appearance.

To start with, I go out and shoot textures that catch my eye. The one I’ll use for this entry was actually a rusty side of my Dad’s Box blade that he pulls behind his tractor. I photographed one side of it and then pulled that photograph into Photoshop and retouched it. This is what I was left with:



Jenny works for me as a production associate in my studio and was kind enough to let me photograph her. Here’s the original image of her:



I took one of the images we did and the texture I had made before and applied the texture to her image and wound up with something like this:



I first opened her image up in Photoshop. Once it was opened, I opened the image of the texture and the added it as a layer to Jenny’s picture by dragging the image over the top of hers. Once it was on top of her image in Photoshop,...

Where Am I??
invited my friend kate (who just got her first motorcycle!) to be a model at the Seattle flickr strobist meetup. i don’t think she knew what she was getting into, but had fun doing it anyway. check out the pool for other shots of her (lots of fog and neon colours).

strobist info: i think i triggered a 430ex camera left w/ a cactus v2……
