This photo is for me a perfect example of why I never trash photos for at least a year. I’ve been looking at this one for a while and have been on the fence about it; whether it was any good or not. I saw it this morning and, for whatever reason, it just hit me. Hope you like it too.

Our pleasant moments fly
Some of the hurts he has cured
Gone are the three, the fates, so rare
I am the child who’s strewn
Away leaf after leaf

Ah, sure, it’s good to be back home after the long weekend at the Iowa IrishFest. Had a grand time. Of course, photos will be coming very soon, maybe as early as tomorrow.

Todays shot is a building in Chicago. I was looking for a symmetrical feel … but something a little different; enter the Rotate command!

I’m excited to share this photo with you today as it was part of a new article I wrote for PhotographyBB Online Magazine [pdf] called, “Symmetry: From Photo to Photoshop.”


Issue #18 for July is just choke full of photography goodness; Digital Photography tips and techniques, DSLR camera function training, and image post processing tutorials in Adobe® Photoshop™, and RAW processing in Photoshop Lightroom™.

Contents this month include:

WILL CELL PHONE CAMERAS BE THE DEATH OF P&S? By Kenneth Fagan
THE NEW PENTAX K-7 By Dave Seeram
PHOTOGRAPHER’S RIGHTS IN AMERICA TODAY By Jon D. Ayres
PORT DOUGLAS, AUSTRALIA By David Martin
MONTHLY FAQ: LENSES, FILTERS, MANUAL MODE, AND MORE! By Colin Bell
THE RULE OF THIRDS-THEN AND NOW By Jason Anderson
PORTRAIT LIGHTING BASICS By John Ogden
SYMMETRY: FROM PHOTO TO PHOTOSHOP By Gareth Glynn Ash
ADDING FIREWORKS IN PHOTOSHOP By Jennifer Farley
THIS MONTH’S SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW Chris Walters

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.”

By way of download in either PDF or ZIP formats, PhotographyBB continues its trend through the future of free downloadable magazine distribution. In a completely ad-free format, each issue contains informative and educational tutorials for amateur and intermediate level photographers.

In addition to articles which aide photographers in getting the most from their DSLR cameras, the PhotographyBB Online Magazine also features useful and applicable tutorials on how to use post-processing tools such as Photoshop and Lightroom, to build on digital photography post-processing skills.

This shot — taken in the early morning hours of a fine Chicago morning on Ontario Street just east of Lake Shore Drive — was recently featured as part of my guest blog spot over at Beyond Megapixels, a very fine site, indeed which would be an essential, I think, part of your daily reading. The title of the article was, “SINGLE IMAGE HDR CREATION” and you can read it here if you’d like.
