After viewing a bunch of macro-related galleries linked through digg, I came across a comment which said that reversing a wide-angle lens and putting it up against the lens of your camera can act as a macro lens…

In June, I shared a method of easily stitching together multiple photos to generate a panorama using two new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3; Auto-Align and Auto-Blend.

There is a much more simpler way to do this thanks to Morris Ginberg who commented on the post and suggested using the updated Photomerge feature. It seems using Photomerge in Photoshop CS3 does the exact same thing as using Auto-Align and Auto-Blend, but does it all for you in one step.

In continuation of sharing the knowledge I’ve learnt at the Adobe Creative License Tour, here is a tutorial for efficiently fixing those photos which have specks on them due to dust on the lens. The tool you will need to execute this is Adobe Bridge CS3.

If you’ve ever processed your photos in software such as Aperture or Lightroom, you might have made adjustments to those photos. Check out how Adobe has included a useful mode called Camera Raw in Bridge CS3 to allow you to make the same type of adjustments to photos you might not want to mix with your Aperture or Lightroom library.

At the Creative License Tour, one of the presenters demonstrated to us how two new features in Photoshop CS3 allowed him to take 3 photographs he took on the side of the road and stitch it into a larger photograph. In this post, I explain how to use these two new features; Auto-Align and Auto-Blend, on your photographs and achieve jaw-dropping results.

Yesterday I went to a BBQ at Bowness Park. It sounded like a fun event, so I brought along my Canon EOS 20D not knowing what to expect.

Throughout the day, I found these tips I’ve learned from various sources to be really really useful. These are also geared towards intermediate digital camera owners (break out of automatic mode if you haven’t done so already!)
