Discovered Photography:

Ark

Ark by Tom Anthony can be found at DiscoveredArtists at a great price of $70 as an 18″x12″ Fine Art Giclee Print.

Head on over to feature shoot for an awesomely fantastic Theme Friday: Abandoned Swimming Pools! Great collection of images sure to inspire.

Horse lovers will take a shine to this great image “Making Hay” over at LifeSignatures.  Great example of backlighting.

I have to admit that I wasn’t very fond of this whole HDR thing because most of the images from the beginning of this type of photography were just too much.  It’s photographers like Captain Kimo and images like River Bend Park that make me reconsider how I look at this type of photography.

Over at DPS there’s a great post on 10 Rules for Editing Digital Images.

Great photo-story at BOOOOOOOM! of a skate park in Uganda.  SOOOOOO COOOOOOOL!

In the Photoblogosphere

Our friends at Beyond Megapixels have a great set of tips to help you get your portfolio in order .  Funny, I was actually working with printing all day today.  Coincidence?..

Great guest post over at Kim Pace Photography on using auto white balance with gray cards.  Hint: you may know this guest post author very well!

PhotoTech

Tech and Science geeks rejoice!  The Large Hadron Collider looks ready to start and The Big Picture has some great photos inside this massive project.  Naysayers and fear-mongers start your engines.

Pretty cool contraption from Chase Jarvis at his video blog.  Makes for interesting perspective.  Here’s the video.

Most of our pockets aren’t deep enough for Hasselblad’s latest and greatest 50MP Multi-Shot camera.  But we can dream…right?

Photo Post Production

Halloween is over but it’s no excuse not to get your Gothic hands on this freebie cemetery texture from My Photographica.

Here’s a quick tutorial from Flypaper Textures.  I kinda like it.  It’s nice.
