1063 - Past In Present II
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Do you know that feeling, that whatever you do, it comes out wrong? Today’s images (actually images of Thursday) are such a case.
We visited Kraków’s royal castle, the Wawel, saw the fantastic renaissance architecture of the castle’s big courtyard, saw the exhibitions, saw the cathedral, … and [...]
1062 - Close To The Borderline
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
On Wednesday we made a trip to the mountains south-east of Kraków, the region between the Beskides and the Tatra. In a journal from 2001 I have read about the region, that legions of its inhabitants had gone to America, especially to Chicago and Toronto, but that [...]
Invisible Clothing Special Effects Photoshop Tutorial
Submitted by Photoplus Tutorials Blog
found a photoshop tutorial called ‘invisible clothing’ on the internet. I liked it, but the method shown was too complex. I have therefore used my own method for this tutorial to make it easy for you to do in any version of Photoshop.
I have taken this free stock photo.
And another free [...]
New Deacons
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Our church ordained two new deacons a few weeks ago. I made this photograph of them as the congregation prayed for them during the ordination service.
I never use flash during ceremonies like this because I believe it is a distraction and detracts from the solemnity of what’s taking place. This usually [...]
Inner Vision
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
I just returned from my yearly photography workshop with Nancy Rotenberg, Les Saucier, and Don McGowan. This particular workshop was held in Provincetown, Massachusetts on Cape Cod and, as expected, was another wonderful experience.
Why return to do workshops with the same instructors year after year? Simply put, it is because I [...]
Deliberately Less
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
~Less driving, more walking
~Less consuming, more creating
~Less carbon, more air, water and soil
At 7:45am I was dropped off at the train for the first time. In Pittsburgh we call the train the “T” for short, not sure why. It’s a hybrid train-subway; sometimes it runs above ground and sometimes below.
I [...]

Grocery’s?
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Convenience Store Sign
Madison County, NC - 2009
It’s time for a rant. One area where our schools are failing is in the proper use of the apostrophe. I see it all the time, even on professionally painted signs: using an apostrophe to make a plural. It’s “groceries”, not “grocery’s”, people! Notice, however, [...]
About Last Night
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
This is what I heard:
I was terrified the first time because I did not know what to expect. Second time I was terrified because I knew what to expect.
I need to create a new solution, a human solution. Desirability; why is this so hard to find?
The desire is to be [...]

Botanical Blends: Rudbeckia I
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
I have completed the second image in my “Botanical Blends” project and thus have accomplished half of my goal for the month. Of course, the goal does not merely reflect the number of images completed, as the images need to be of the appropriate quality as well. Artistic quality, however, is [...]
1061 - Thou Art Gone Up On High
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
These are images of yesterday, our first day spent entirely in the center of Kraków. The Image of the Day features the cupola of the small church of sw. Wojciech (St. Adalbert), located in one corner of the vast central market square.
The chain looks gruesome, but [...]
1060 - Going Places
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Sorry for the long silence. I’m not dead and I can’t blame my internet connection either. Must have something to do with being on vacation. In any case I have a real processing problem. Well, some images may turn up another day, when I lack anything usable.

Fringe Benefits
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Like any job, truck driving has its positives and negatives. There’s been a lot of negatives lately where I work that I won’t get into here, but one of the positives is that I’m outside instead of cooped up in an office. I get to see what’s going on out in [...]

This has been done with the Color Range and other filters found in Photoshop.
The tutorial is [...]

Sometimes you need textures for creating an effect in Photoshop. This may be anything. Use your camera to take photos of brick walls, rocks rough surfaces, rust and whatever. These come in handy for use as Texture.
I have opened two photos in Photoshop. The one at the left is a free [...]
Default Camera Configuration
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
When I’m out shooting I often make adjustments to my camera settings to get the right shot. The problem is it’s easy to forget what you’ve done. Then the next time you grab your camera and start shooing you might miss the shot because something is configured wrong. So I [...]
