Do you use Flickr?  Are you reading the news about Yahoo, Flickr's parent company, being sold off and possibly dismantled?  I am reading it, and I don't like what I hear.  But, maybe there's a silver lining in there.

A handful of pics from the Queen of the Missions in San Antonio, TX - better known as Mission San Jose.

I have created what I believe to be the most comprehensive Aurora HDR tutorial on the web.  I spent weeks writing it up and I include many tips and tricks that I have learned through hard-won experience.  Dive in and see for yourself!

Today I take you on a tour of the lovely city of Paris, France - all in black and white.  Sure, I generally go for big colors, but change is good, and I am working to embrace my inner monochrome artist, and bringing it all to you right here!  Enjoy!

I had a friend in town last week, and we headed out to shoot this hidden gem in west Austin.  It's hard to beat a beautiful waterfall, isn't it?

Today I share a video that demonstrates how I edit fireworks photos using Aurora HDR.  Sure, Aurora is called an "HDR" product but it's fabulous for single long exposures, too!

I love Seattle, and in particular I love to visit Pike Place Market.  It's touristy but awesome.  Here's a shot of the fish counter, plus a couple of extra creative edits.  It's always good to experiment, right?

Today I share an image from a most interesting spot in lovely London - a grungy graffiti tunnel.  It's not your normal London destination, but it's one of my personal favorites, and I share some thoughts on why I love this stuff so much.

There's a great bundle from Macphun on their entire Creative Kit - plus a bunch of bonuses - just in time for the Fourth of July here in the US.  Check it out, save money, and get some awesome perks, too!

Here's an arc de triomphe from France that you probably haven't heard of - it's in Montpellier.  Sure, it's not as big as the more famous arc in Paris, but hey it's pretty awesome!

Aurora HDR - the best photo editor on the planet - just announced that they reached 500,000 downloads since launch.  The Aurora HDR train is picking up steam and moving fast - hop on board!  There's also a contest to get YOUR photos published in leading photo magazines - yay!

A moody interpretation of a street scene from one of my favorite European cities, Brussels...

I created a new series on my YouTube channel called "5 Minute HDR".  Yes, it shows how I create a beautiful HDR image in 5 minutes or less using Aurora HDR.  Seem impossible?  It's not.  Read on and then watch the videos!  

Today I share a pair of images from the Grand Canyon in Arizona - it's quite a sight to behold!

Here's a group of shots I captured late one afternoon in Sedona, AZ.  After a (thankfully) short hike in the stifling heat, I found this view of the beautiful Cathedral Rock, and fired away.  Luckily there were some nice clouds that day!

I am hosting a series of webinars with Macphun, showing how I use Aurora HDR to process my images.  Click in for details and I hope to see you there!

Nightfall at Nyhavn, the historic waterfront entertainment district in Copenhagen - and my favorite place to photograph in a city that is full of great spots.

Recently, I made the switch from using Photomatix to create my HDR photos over to Aurora HDR Pro.  Today, I share my thoughts with you about why I made the switch and what I gained from it.  I think you will enjoy this.

A trio of stunning sunset shots from one of my favorite places in the world - the Oregon coast.  Have a look and enjoy!  

Exploring some side streets in Copenhagen, which is always a good time.  As the saying goes, not all who wander are lost.  Though I will admit, I get lost now and then.  ;-)
