I have some new Lynda.com courses that have been published recently (two last week and one today) that I'll be posting about over the next few days. First up is a new series called The Photoshop Compositing Project. The first installment is a short course (just over an hour) on Replacing a Sky.

The image above is the final version of one of the step-by=step exercise images from that course. You can see the two source images below I was channeling the surreal side of my photographer's personality with this one. Follow the link to check out the Welcome movie, view the table of contents, as well as a free movie from one of the exercises for the Photoshop Compositing Project: Replacing a Sky.

If you're not already a Lynda.com subscriber and want to check out this course, as well as any course in their extensive online library, here's a link for a FREE 10-Day Trial.

Time Machine Tuesday

Untitled  Nov. 3, 2008

It's been a while since I powered up the photographic wayback machine for a Time Machine Tuesday excursion (since this is Wednesday, I am a day late posting it, but I did the search yesterday). On these occasional Tuesday journeys into the past I search my image catalog for an image that is at least one year old and taken on the same day, or close to it. This particular photograph had been overlooked for the past seven years until I found it again yesterday and started to explore a black & white interpretation.
