I thought that might get your attention. If you follow my online ramblings, you are sure to know that I am trying to get into equine photography. I recently completely shooting my 4th event for the local AERC club, and my gear lineup is getting fairly solid. I figured I’d log it here for anyone else who may be interested in such things.

Photography workshops

I just found out that one of my favorite Photoshop gurus, the real Photoshop Diva Katrin Eismann, is teaching a Phase One workshop in Big Sur. Now, I haven’t taken one of these classes, but I’m betting this is not your run-of-the-mill workshop. According to the description, you’ll get to work with a Phase One digital back with a 60M sensor and a ‘complete range of lenses’.

Wow.

The workshops take place on location in places like Glacier Park, Iceland and Australia, as well as the aforementioned Big Sur. Prices seem to be around $5k and up, but include some of the transportation, lodging, use of the camera gear, and some benes to take home (a camera bag and a couple of 30×40 prints from images shot during the class. It sounds like quite a deal for what’s included.

Intuos4 Hits the Streets!

Wacom finally busts out with the Intuos4, which includes a new ring that can be assigned to canvas rotation, twice the pressure sensitivity of the Intuos3, and an illuminated display on the tablet that tells you how your express keys are assigned. It’s also reversible, so you can operate left- or right-handed based on how you want to use the keys.

I’m hoping for a review sample, so keep checking back and I’ll post a write-up as soon as I can get my hands on one!

You can turn Wacom pressure options on and off right up in the Options bar. When you have a tool that supports pressure sensitivity selected, click the pen icon over a transparency to control the Opacity and choose the pen icon over a bulls-eye to control the brush size. (via planetphotoshop.com)

Have you explored the blend modes available in Photoshop? If so, you can get to most of your favorites by using a shortcut: Shift + Option/Alt + (first letter of blend mode). For example, Shift+opt/Alt+M changes the current mode to Multiply. The shortcut list isn’t complete, but you can round out and update the shortcuts [...]
