It’s Friday, Hooray!!! Today is going to be a short post because I am up to my ears in whole of super cool stuff. More on that later, though! Today I wanted to highlight my book pick of the week. It is The Hot Shoe Diaries by famed Photographer Joe McNally. This is the second book from Joe. His first being The Moment It Clicks. Which was a huge hit. However this newest one is already destined to to be even a bigger seller. It covers using small small flashes in various scenarios and is delivered is Joe’s usual entertaining style. If you have ever seen him teach live you know what I mean. Which makes this book not just informative, but entertaining as well. No serious photographer should without this book. Check it out here. That’s it for today.
Be sure to check back here next week. We will have the results of the latest tutorial contest and a brand new contest will be under way as well. Have a great weekend!!

This week’s tutorial deals with creating masks for complicated images by using channels.
You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).

I have been a fan of small amounts of flash on the subject in an evening setting for ages. This book definitely goes on my “to buy” list
