Once in a while we need to use the brush to paint with a certain color, which already present in the image. For example, we want to get rid off some of small imperfections on a smooth surface. If the surface has a texture that I want to preserve, then I would use the Healing Brush or the Stamp tool. But in a simple case (there is no texture) I would have to first switch to Eyedropper and back to brush. The more colors I have to switch in between, the more clicks and movements I have to make. However the developers of Photoshop provided us with a nice feature - hold Alt key while using the Brush tool and you instantly switched into Eyedropper tool. Then click on image where the color you need to reuse is and it becomes your foreground color.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand holds a unique exhibition of photographs that you can touch and feel. Actually it is the idea to feel the photographs by touching them. Read the news article to find out more.

There is a list of 20 Best Photo Sites (winners) posted at FWA. Those websites present not only good (or great) photographs, but their design is close to exceptional. Take a look, it's a pleasure to browse through those websites.

So here begings the new thread of my life - thoughts and knowledege exchange, which related to photography.
Generally I will try to post some of the links to websites that I find interesting or findings about composition and lighting techniques for various aspects of photography. I hope there will be some time to post and content about my thoughts as well. We will see :)
