The Latest Tutorial on f.64 Academy

An HDR Grunge Match!
Not a Grunge Match... a Grudge Match! When I was putting together the course Exploring HDR: The Video Series, I had to record a tutorial for every HDR Method I use on a routine basis. This was kind of a chore for me as I am pretty fond of the Photomatix look as you...

What Others Are Saying
This is the best site I have come across. The majority of other sites offer skill training and leave you feeling short changed when the total learning experience is very limited. Your site offers innovation on every occasion.
Your tutorials are not only well written, but do not work on the premise that your audience are not ‘experts’, in other words, you tend to be quite specific about who you target.
I appreciate the tutorials and the revelations you are sharing with everyone. A number of photographers won’t even tell you their camera settings let alone how they post processed. You have provided a number of people with new tools to add to their workflows.
I have learned more about photography and photoshop in the last year from Blake, than I have from all other sources in the past decade.
