Photowalking

I came across this site and it has a number of useful tutorials in video format so sit back and watch. There are a few on HDR processing in Photoshop so if this is an area you are interested in exploring you should have a look at these. Usually HDR generates awful looking images but some of these guys are pretty good and it is worth looking at their HDR images page.  This is what they say about the site “PhotoWalkPro.  PWP is owned and operated by Jeff Revell.  Jeff is the writer,editor, staff photographer, and lead custodian for the site.  PhotoWalkPro is dedicated to bringing you the latest news on photowalking, digital imaging, travel photography, photo equipment, HDR, and anything else that is photography related” could be one to bookmark
