As you know from previous posts here, I am absolutely LOVING Aurora HDR Pro.  Each time I sit down and edit images, I am coming up with new and interesting things to try out with Aurora.  Today, I explore using selective colorization techniques to create new and exciting end results.  Dive in and enjoy!

Today I take a photo from Copenhagen and walk you through my workflow for creating this HDR.  I use Aurora HDR Pro and create several layers in order to apply presets and selectively target them to specific parts of the photo.  It may sound complicated, but it's easy!  Join the fun!

Today I delve into my love of iPhoneography with a review of a new lens kit for the iPhone.  It's made by MPJ and includes a zoom lens, a fisheye, a wide angle and a macro - it's a lot of great stuff.  Take a look and let me know if you have any questions!

Today I share a quick how-to on applying a texture to a photo in Aurora HDR Pro.  It's super easy and quick and a great way to take an other discarded shot and turn it into a work of art.  I show you several examples and there's a YouTube video, too!

Over the years, I have collected about 170,000 photos, and that total is climbing every week.  While they aren't all winners, they are all mine and I want to keep them around forever.  So how do I make sure they will be here for me at some future date?  Well, that's what I share here today - plus I ask for your feedback to make my process better.  Read on and let me know your thoughts!

I have been mentioning split toning in Lightroom here on the blog quite a bit lately, and it's because I have been really loving working with it and getting more comfortable with it.  Now I am finally ready to share my thoughts and experiences with it.  So today you get a mini tutorial on using Lightroom's wonderful split toning feature.  I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions!

Here are 5 things I try and do every time I go shoot - well technically, before I go shoot.  It's important to plan ahead so you avoid delays or errors when you are standing in front of something awesome.  Plan ahead, be smart, and get the shot you want!

Today I share some shots I created in the new Topaz Impression - it's a new and exciting (and fun!) way to turn your photos into digital art!  I have spent a lot of time with it over the last few days, and have really enjoyed it!  Take a peek inside and enjoy, and feel free to let me know your thoughts!  And note there is a special offer from Topaz Labs on this product until Sept 30, which is tomorrow!
