Landscape Tutorial (timelapse)

Hello all, here's a new video tutorial that demonstrates one way to paint landscapes in Photoshop. I like to use the Smudge tool a lot to add that painterly feel to the painting, a process which some artists don't like, but it's up to you if you want to use it.
I hope you find this tutorial useful.

Sweet Water at dawn

I went to SweetWater lake the other day right before the sun rose up. The air was unbelievably nice and the lake had a nice misty surface.
To my luck, there were clouds in the sky that day, or else the scene would have been super boring.

I met another photographer over there who was quite as excited as I was about the clouds in the sky. I never really asked for his name; we just spoke like geeks.

Ah well, more days to come and more places to explore.

HDR can be really tricky; it's a thin line between over doing and under doing the image. Here's an image I took of the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta which uses this technique.

Here's a photograph of Sweat Water lake here in northern Atlanta Ga, as a start for the Photography section on this blog. You can see the solo duck enjoying the nice weather we had that day.
I'm still a learning photographer, but with persistence and listening to the advice of masters who knows what will happen!
  

A new personal digital painting... the Depressed Man. Done with Photoshop in my free time.

Although I did this a while back for a friend of mine, I thought it was a funny thing to share with you.

Needless to say, he did like it...
