Most peeps by now know what a cheapskate strong believer I am in the open source community. I was blown away when I found this one though. Check out the video and tell me what you think. (and don't be looking at my pictures either - nothing to see here, just move along)

I've taken a few classes and even paid for one or two. I've been satisfied and I've learned a few things and I've been frustrated on occasion.

I have never been this excited by any of them though.
Seriously - Go check this out !
Here's a taste - skim it, or read it or whatever floats your boat. I dare you to come away from this without learning something. (or just enjoying yourself) Grab the slider and flip that mirror up. I double-dog dare you to ever think of live view the same way again.

See what I mean ?
So the link is in the DIY Photography article and I'll put it in this post too. I just "followed" Marc Levoy and the lectures are on his page too.

I was shooting a challenge shot last week for the word "Lines"
I was shooting a challenge shot last week for the word "Lines"
Lucky for me, I don't suffer from hay fever. It was still and sticky and awfully hot but I liked the results.
Then when I was packing up to go, the light started dancing in some powerlines and I ended up with a nice "sketch" project.
The pix are captioned and here is a very brief BTS if you care about such things. There was a whole lot of moving sliders around and trying different things but I'll keep the recap short. I'll skip over all the head scratching and bad words too.
The original shot was BIG. I cropped it for composition and also to cut down on the processing time. That left me with the third image. I used the pencil filter in G"MIC to make the second one and layered the third on top of it using the "color" layer mode. That's it.
(it looks so easy if you type it fast)
BTW - zoom in
