Every once in a while I look back at the tutorials I have done to see if they are still on the money. Apparently I have done everyone a horrible dishonor. On October 8th of 2010 I did a tutorial about clearing up HDR skies, while it may have been somewhat helpful, I...

Panorama’s are fun, once you have gotten past the frustration and easily convoluted workflow. A couple years ago I did one the archaic way, taking each image and manually masking them, it took me 4 hours. Those were the days of Adobe CS 8.0, which as I recall...

Welcome Karl Williams to the HDR floor! I am jealous of this guy for three reasons, he writes like a philosopher with a photographer’s mind, he lives in the beautiful land of my idol William Wallace, and his portfolio is INCREDIBLE! Karl knows HDR, he has an...

Last week I took a couple of shots around the Hangar at work (don’t worry Uncle Sam, it wasn’t on your dime). It is the perfect place to find grungy looking HDR scenes, you know the ones that scream perfection in HDR? I was very fond of 3 images and the...

I recently went to the beach where the wifey and I exchanged vows to forever love one another, regardless of the amount of time I spend with my camera and the recent addition of EverydayHDR, that wasn’t really in the vows but it was implied! I took a picture of...

To many this is simply another featured artist, to me this is a featured inspiration. I routinely ask every artist I interview if there was an image or artist that inspired them to start shooting HDR images. Philip Johnson is the reason for my interest in HDR, he is...
