I’m going to share something a little different this time around. You’ll get to see a live wildlife shoot and what it looks like through my lens. Settings, jumping AF points, and all. Then we’ll take a look through some of the photos and do a quick...

While color can be one of the important edits we do to a photo, it does get confusing where to do it. There are so many color adjustments in so many places, that sometimes we forget one of the most important things and that is selecting the right colors and areas of...

A while back I did a Photoshop tutorial on replacing the sky in some wildlife photos. After the tutorial I started to see some really bad examples of the technique, so hopefully we can help that out today. Enjoy! PS: I asked this in my email that brought you to this...

Yesterday I shared a pretty bold statement… You can click here to watch the video, but I’ll paraphrase below. I said that I believe the sky is one of the most important (if not sometimes THE most important) part of the photo. Feel free to comment below how...

I’ve been a Sony ambassador (they call them Artisans) for nearly 10 years now. Over the years they’ve reached out to me a few times to test out a prerelease camera or lens before it was announced. While I’m always appreciative for the opportunity, I...

I’ve always felt that the sky is one of the most important parts of most photos. That’s why we need accurate ways to select it, so that we can target it, and work on the tones and colors to get them just right. So this week, I’m sharing 3 of my...

Adobe added a new feature to Camera Raw this past week and I thought I’d take a few minutes to show you how to use it. Keep in mind this feature isn’t yet in Lightroom, but if Adobe follows what they typically do, it will eventually make it there. Also, if...

Hi everyone. While I was editing a photo this week I used a tool that used to be one of my favorites. I actually still use it all of the time, but it hit me that we don’t talk about it a lot anymore so I thought I’d show you the edit that I did and WHY I...

I’m going back to basics with this one since the question keeps coming up. Since Adobe has released a few really nice “beta” features (also called Technology Previews) in to Adobe Camera Raw, a lot of people have been asking if they should be using...

Hi all and Happy 2025. I hope all of you had a great Christmas, holiday season and New year. I took some time off to spend with my family, play some golf and just enjoy some great weather that we’ve had here in sunny Tampa, Florida. As we get back in to the...
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated.
