Landscape Photoschool

Landscape Photo school

"Ever looked at a professional photograph and wondered how the photographer took it? I mean what aperture, film speed and shutter speed they used? I do, so I asked Erik to share the detailed secrets behind some of his favourite photographs. Every week for 3 months you will receive an email with one of Erik’s landscape photographs to inspire you, and quick details of how he took the photo to educate you. This bonus is absolutely priceless if you take the time to replicate what Erik has done next time you are out in the field."

Bad CCD

Bad CCD
Originally uploaded by RickBlythe.

This isn't some photoshop effect. This is what is happening to my Sony DSC f717 camera these days. The CCD is going bad.

Luckily Sony is fixing for free various models that are afflicted by this problem. Don't forever though, there's a time limit on this offer.

Here is more information on this-

Adobe Photoshop Express

Adobe Photoshop Express is a new FREE service that allows you to polish, sort, store and show off your photos. It’s also completely web based! Some of the most frequently used features of Adobe Photoshop available for use on the web anytime for FREE. It works in your web browser as long as you have the Flash 9 Player, so you can work on any platform.

This is not going to replace the Photoshop you’ve come to know and love. There are no Layers here, No CMYK, No pro level filters and the list goes on.

You’ll be able to upload, tweak/enhance your photos, put together your own Flash based web galleries and share them with your friends. You can also access your Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa accounts directly. Once you’ve edited your photo you can either share it with someone or download it back to your computer for printing.  Very cool.
