Scott Kelby was able to get on the sidelines of the Bucs/Cardinals game yesterday here in Tampa. Here is a link to his blog with some of the images he took. These shots are great, I especially like the close-up of Jon Gruden. Scott also talks about the gear he used to obtain these images. Oh, by the way, Bucs won 17-10.

Lightroom Presets

My buddy Matt Kloskowski has a Lightroom blog called Lightroom Killer Tips and he has recently started providing presets that you can download and use right away. Presets are great, especially in Lightroom, because most of the work is done for you. You may need to tweak a few settings here and there. Matt also provides videos and quick tips that make your Lightroom workflow much easier and, most importantly, more fun!!!

Speed Painting

Just in case you haven’t seen this guy’s stuff, I’m posting a link because it’s really cool to watch. He’s an artist named Nico Di Mattia, and he does digital illustrations in Photoshop. This means he is drawing and painting his images in Photoshop the same way you would on a canvas. He records while he is working on them and plays it back in time-lapse. It is really interesting stuff. His website is www.speed-painting.com. Now, being the Transformers fan that I am, I have to give you another link to a piece he did illustrating Bumble Bee from the new Transformers movie. Check it out.

Voices Across the Country

I know, I spent way too much time on that title. The point is, I want to remind you web designers and aspiring web designers alike that we are just a little more than a week away from the Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference in San Francisco on October 22 – 25. Why do I bring this up? Because I am teaching two pre-conference workshops. The first one is called Building A Website Using Photoshop & Dreamweaver. The second one is Interactive Content with Photoshop & Flash. It’s going to be a lot of fun because we are going to be doing the “fun” stuff, which is designing visually, with very little code involved. More than that, there is a long list of conference sessions covering creativity, context, and structure. There is still time to register, so check it out here.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
