Artistic Photo Editing of Everyday Built Environments

Erik Johansson takes photo editing and manipulation to new levels with his ever-growing collection of creative, innovative and amazing scenes of altered architecture and unbelivable built environments, distorted objects and twisted imagery – all while preserving an eerie photo-realism from the original photographic subject. Given his emphasis on constructed objects, the care with which he crafts every detail of each image and controls the overall composition, it is perhaps no surprise that this photographer’s background is not in the arts but in computer engineering and interactive design. The rich three-dimensional complexity of each edited photograph is accomplished using exclusively two-dimensional computer editing tools and each work is based on a real photograph, manipulated, altered and added to in a layered and sequential process.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

HDR Efex Pro 2 Review - Use Coupon "HDRpromo15" for 15% Off Use coupon code HDRpromo15 for 15% off any Nik Software or Photomatix product! I've been doing HDR for over three years now, and for at least half of that time there really was only one option for editing professional looking photos: Photomatix Pro. I've used that program and continue to use, it but I was skeptical to say the least when a friend of mine emailed me to say that there just might be some legitimate competition with HDR Efex Pro. Thanks for Stopping By! With a bit of hesitation I decided to give it a shot and installed the software. It was about 17 seconds before my hesitation turned into excitement. HDR Efex Pro is the real deal, and while it's not necessarily better than Photomatix, it's at the very least on par, and certainly has some advantages. In this article we're going to compare it directly to Photomatix and help you decide once and for all which one is the right choice for your HDR needs.
