Make your own HDR images
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2010-08-11 22:59OK, for something a little bit different... we've had several pictures from Click here to visit Stuck In Customs.">StuckInCustoms over time. Trey Ratcliff uses a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) to process and edit his photos. This gives them their great colors and "pop" which I really like.
He has started offering a course on DVD, either the
basic or added value premium. A bit more pricey than what you may be used to picking up, but given the quality of much of his work, I'm betting they are worth it.

Flying Boats
Submitted by cac on Sat, 2008-01-19 22:09There probably aren't what you are thinking... we're not talking amphibious aircraft, but rather boats in water so clear that it looks like they aren't even floating. Beautiful pictures, and I found the fact that there were multiple "out there" fascinating.

Chinese Pirate Ship?
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2011-05-04 19:01No, not really a pirate ship, but definitely a pretty old boat. Trey over at Stuck In Customs posted this recently and I really liked it.

A neat effect (original after the jump) that can be performed with various image editing tools (and a lot of skill) or specialized tilt/shift lenses (and also a lot of skill). Check the link on information and various other links to tutorials and the like.
To me this is a particularly good example, although I may be biased due to the subject matter.
