Editor in Chief, Dave Seeram had these comments regarding this recent release:

“The name of the game for issue 18 is all about composition. This month we take an in depth look at symmetry; how it is everywhere in our lives and how we can use symmetry to create stunning photos. We also take a different look at the Rule of Thirds as it applies to both photography today, as well as historical works of art in the past. In keeping with the composition theme, this month’s Photoshop tutorial teaches our readers how to create a digital composite image by adding fireworks into any night photo scene.

In our Photography Around the World column, photographer David Martin takes us to Australia for a look at the splendor of the scenery, rainforests, wildlife, waterfalls and so much more.”
