Thread: SOTD - Sun August 1th - Sat August 7th

Give it a shot and see if it works using your favorite image...you can be the guinea pig in trying this out. Let me know if something doesn't make sense or doesn't work.

Here's the attachment:

You're welcome Matt ...I hope it works. What may be intuitive to one may not prove to be the case for another. I am hoping that it is useful.

Don't discount the power of the "point-and-shoot"...some of the best photographs have been produced by "simple" cameras. It's ~90% photographer and ~10% equipment .

truer words have never been spoken

Robert,
thx for sharing this PDF.
I'll test it today. I think we don't need for this tutorials a new thread. If someone is interested in a special technique- ask the author- maybe the author is also be able to create such a good tut like you.
The best books about photography I ever got are from Scott Kelby.
(search in amazon!)
Regards
Tom
