Shooting Outside Gallery

We are looking for your favorite Photoshop or Digital Art Tutorial web site. Don't worry if your favorite shows tutes for CS or CS2. Not everyone one of us has CS3 yet. And even if your site has only tutorials for Elements. Some will have tutorials in written form, while others will have videos. Just copy & paste the url for your favorite site(s). And by the way, tell us why you like your site if you have spent much time there, otherwise a simple Comment & url will do. Your Comment will help many others.

Here's another challenge perhaps some of you will be up to. We've all been in the position of looking through our photographs only to find that the one we really wanted to turn out special, even after taking the time to get the camera settings right, just didn't.

There are many tutorials available online & in books. But I want to know where you call Home when it comes to getting help. Maybe you read about sharpening or masks, maybe you look up Photoshop tutorials. Whatever & wherever you go, post them here so we can all gain from you feedback.

But for some of us we recognized in us an innate ability to frame or compose an occasional photo which really grabbed us and others who viewed it too. My first memorable one was of a wagon wheel, or an angle of a wagon wheel when I was a youngster. I recall most everyone who saw it just stared for a time before saying, (everyone said this) "What is it?" But an Uncle of mine looked and right away recognized it. He later went on to become the family photographer. I always enjoyed it when he looked at my photography. He could see what I could see. I am now the family photographer, and I do produce and sell photos at my website where I have the Galleries at  Pixels Can you recall your first impressive photo? Here's your chance to
