My recent submission for the HDR Concert contained self made lightning. I know I know, I should have used real lightning from a real picture, but believe it or not, it didn’t look right when I did. So I did a quick Google search and found an awesome tutorial...

I have been thinking about doing a bare bones compositing tutorial for a while now, but was hesitant that I could whip something together in under 15 minutes. I say 15 minutes for 2 reason, I don’ t have the attention span to watch a 15 minute tutorial...

If you are a long time EverydayHDR follower, you know that I did a dodging and burning tutorial in the past. However, I did not have a sweet microphone at the time. As a matter of fact, it sounded like I was talking into a tin can! I really felt the need to...

I recently posted HDR Concert #3. If you look at the image you will see paratroopers littering the sky. If you look long enough you will see they are all relatively the same, however, their size and angle are different. Before you say it, I didn’t copy and...
