Last week, I co-hosted DTown TV with RC Concepcion and I mentioned a little trick that I used on the photo above (click on the photo to see it larger). It has to do with getting that smooth silky water effect (or anything in motion for that matter) when you...

Last month, Scott Sheppard interviewed me over on Nik Radio. It was basically a 30-40 minute interview on how I got into photography and Photoshop, what inspires me and a bunch of other things. Here’s the link in case you missed it. Anyway, back to our story....

There’s some pretty cool possibilities for creating presets with the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom. This week I have 3 presets that create a sunflare effect that you can brush on to your photos. It’s a little different from the normal Develop module...

If you’re looking for some weekend viewing then I’ve got two shows you’ve got to see if you’re a photographer. A few months ago, RC Concepcion and I did a series of photography shows on DTown TV on our favorite lenses. We went over lenses for...

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a photo I took while in Boston. It got a lot of great feedback, but there was one thing that I didn’t like in the photo (and it was confirmed by some comments here on the blog). At first, I was kinda lazy and thought it would be a...

One of the questions I’ve been getting asked a TON lately is about the new MacBook Pros with Retina display and how they work for Photoshop, Lightroom and for photographers in general. Well, I’ve been kicking the tires on one for about a week now, so I...

I always find it’s a lot of fun to write (and read) about how people got a certain photo. To me, sometimes the stories behind the photo are sometimes just as interesting as the photo itself. A few weeks ago, Chris Gampat (who runs a blog over at B&H Photo)...

Last week, I posted some of my Lightroom presets for the camera profiles that you find in the Camera Calibration panel in Lightroom. After I started reading through the questions and comments I realized that a lot of people didn’t know one of the huge benefits...

We’re through! Yup, I’m done with my revered Nikon 14-24mm lens for now. Everyone loves this lens and it definitely has served me well over the years, but I’m moving on. I’ve been thinking about the Nikon 16-35mm lens for a while now so rented...

A while back B&H Photo invited me (and others) to give my thoughts on getting better and more accurate color in your photos. The article is called “From Start to Finish: How to Get More Accurate Color From Your Images”. It’s definitely worth a...

I’m heading up to steamy hot New Jersey for a mini-vacation with the family this week. And I thought Florida was hot!? I must have forgotten how bad summers can be here growing up. Look for me at Six Flags, the boardwalk, or Stuff Yer Face in New Brunswick 😉...
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated.
