Magazine of the Month!

I said it before, and I say it now: Great how-to tips

on applying special effects to photos. There are product

and book reviews. This issue gives you a detailed look

into the new CS3 BETA version!

The Art of Photographing Clouds

These are cirrus clouds.

They are high wispy clouds and are made up entirely of ice crystals.

Late afternoon is often the best time

to photograph them.

Sky and Moon

A creation like this comes along once in a blue moon.

I changed the hue of the moon via photoshop and added

it a week later. The cloud shot has increased contrast, it's

cool how the top of the sky ended up so dark.

I saw a documentary on war photography the other day.

Photojournalist James Nachtwey was featured. I saw

powerful images in black and white. When

you're photographing people who are grieving for a

killed family member, the only way you are ever going to

get that chance is if you have gotten to know

the people and spend time with them.

They accept you.

Other images shown were people in shacks,

cooking and doing daily chores.

There are people in Indonesia

living right by railroad tracks.

This is news.

And those are real people.

Kindness and honesty go a long way.

In photojournalism,

those who get shot are the ones on their

first assignment or...

those who have been at it so long they think

they're bulletproof!

war photojournalism
