New “Noise” Technique

Those of you that came to our workshops in Denver and Sydney have seen this new technique in person! It’s kind of strange, I must say. I really like the effect, though. Anyway, sometimes even with using sweet Aurora HDR, I still choose to leave a bit of noise in the sky. Then I bring it into Photoshop. There is a filter called “Oil Painting” — if you play with the sliders in there enough, you can get a smooth “swirling” of the noise, which feels quite alive and painterly to me. Try it! 🙂

Daily Photo – Revisiting Jogjakarta in Indonesia

Here’s a photo that I haven’t looked at processing for years and years. My other theory is that sometimes it’s okay to wait a very long time to process your photos because, over the years, you’ll learn many new techniques that weren’t otherwise available to you. This is a pretty good example of that! 🙂
