Yet another new site design. Working to add content and value. I'll cover photography, gear, HDR, and other topics.
I have completed Photo Restoration and Retouching Using Corel PaintShop Photo Pro, Second Edition. It is now published and available for sale.
I just finished writing Digital SLR Photography All-in-One For Dummies. I am currently in Author Review. You can pre-purchase it from Amazon.
I am preparing to start a new project with Adorama.
Here's a zipped archive of a bracketed photo set from High Dynamic Range Digital Photography For Dummies for you to practice with. Make sure to read the license in the zip file. Mac/Windows - no problem. There are two versions:
General Photography
I am in the process of writing up general photography articles on subjects like scenes, exposure, depth of field, and so on. It's going to be fun!
Music
In this section I plan on talking about my home studio setup, recording rechniques, guitar, bass, mixing and mastering. And of course, gear.
HDR Photography
I plan on separating distinct photography topics into their own sections. HDR is such a fun (and hard to master) field, it definitely deserves special treatment.
Downloads
• Sample Photo Study (2E) (1.5MB)
A short PDF document that lets you preview my book, Photo Restoration and Retouching Using Corel PaintShop Photo Pro, Second Edition, before buying it.
• Working Files (2E) (288MB)
A massive zipped file that contains the "before" photos from my photo restoration book.
• If you don't have any exposure bracketed photos to use to experiment with HDR (yet, because you're going to go out and shoot some, right?), download these. I split the same photo into two files, depending on your preference: JPEG or raw.
HDR brackets: JPEGs (38MB)
HDR brackets: raw (80MB)
MP3s
These MP3s are relatively dated, but I wanted to have something for you to listen to. Since I recorded these, I bought a new guitar (Fender American Stratocaster) and amp (Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 50Q Valve Amplifier. Love them, but haven't had the time to really record with them yet.
