My first post here in 2012… So it’s only appropriate to wish you a happy new year, even if it’s a little late now

Ok lets start right away with some links and news. PhotoWhoa has a special discount going on for the PSKiss photographers toolbox. If you are using Photoshop CS5 this might be worth a look. Included in the toolbox are various plugins, all designed to speed up your postprocessing workflow. To see the toolbox in action there’s a video on PSKiss.com. You can also try the limited demo version there. But mind that the special discount at PhotoWhoa only lasts till Jan 22nd.

Then some news. One of my photos is on the cover of the current issue of UKs top selling photo magazine DigitalPhoto. There are more of my photos in the mag plus a little article about me

Finally here are some links to recent articles I wrote. They are in german but as usual google translate should do a decent job if you are interested:
Gefilterte Fotos – it’s about the filters I use
Warum benutze ich Verlaufsfilter – about why I use GND filters
In die Sonne fotografieren – kind of a tutorial about how to shoot into the sun

Have a nice week!

Hello, hope you’re having a nice weekend!

I want to take the time and share some links with you to some tutorials I did over the past weeks. If you wondered how I process my photos you might find those very interesting.

First of all I have an english tutorial video describing how to blend multiple exposures. You’ll find it on the Landscape Photography Magazine here. Then I did a german tutorial about my complete postprocessing workflow on the KWERFELDEIN photo magazine. It consists of two parts which you’ll find here:

Part 1
Part 2

For my international readers, I tested those with google translate and I find it’s good enough to follow along, although it’s not the best english

There’s also some new photos added to the various galleries on my homepage, so feel free to browse through them and since soon it’s Christmas take the time to visit my Fineart Shop. Maybe you need some gifts or something for your own wall.

And last but not least I prepared a calendar with some of my best work on Redbubble.

cheers

First of all thanks for viewing my blog here. I know I don’t write much but from time to time I find some time for it…. wow that’s sounds weired

Ok, first I want to point out some interesting links for you. Since a few weeks I’m author for the Landscape Photography Magazine. This means you’ll read something from me in the Photo Talk section of the magazine from time to time. The magazine is subscription based and costs 6 Pounds for one year subscription. In my opinion this is money well spent if you are in to landscape photography. I find the articles there highly interesting and inspirational. Check it out.

For the german readers it might be interesting that I’m now doing articles for the Kwerfeldein online magazine on a regular basis. Here are links to my recent articles there:

Hoch hinaus
Schottland – Ein Reisebericht

After the links back to the original reason for this post. As the title suggests I’ve been to Wales recently. We went to the Gower Peninsula near Swansea, on the coast South of the Brecon Beacons.

I’m currently starting to process the images of this trip and I will regularly update the new gallery I created for it. On my flickr account I also write a bit background information about every image I post.

The trip was great. Read more

Last month I provided one of the major photography magazines here in germany – DigitalPhoto – with photos and tips for an article about Landscape photography. The whole article was 8 pages and if you like you can now freely access it in digital form through this pdf they sent me. For the international readers, it’s in german but you could take a look anyway, the images make most of the article

cheers

Time for a little review or the beginning of it.

I’m working in Lightroom for some time now and am quite familiar with most of it’s settings. But there was one setting which I skipped all the time. I don’t know why but I never made use of the integrated color profiles which you get with lightroom 3, it’s under Camera Calibration. For nearly every camera there are some profiles which affect the color interpretation during raw conversion. This results in a completely different starting point for your raw workflow. Depending on the profile you choose there the look of an image can be dramatically changed. Just give it a try and switch to Camera Landscape for an image – this is one of the settings you’ll find there. Either there’s a wow effect or your eyes start to hurt from the colors If it’s the last try a different profile and don’t stop with one image. Switch through the profiles for a couple of images and you’ll find that for many images there’s one of the profiles which looks better than the default Adobe Standard.

Last week I was pointed to this page which contains additional color profiles for Lightroom and Camera Raw. The demo video there was the reason I started taking a closer look at the Camera Calibration feature in Lightroom in the first place. I’m currently evaluating the PSKiss Color Profiles in my postprocessing workflow and I’m gonna share my thoughts with you here.
