It started with a message from my friend. He's sent a link to Photoshop Killer Tips, where you can find several short video tutorials on Photoshop tricks. On that website I followed one link to Layers Magazine with a bunch of useful info about Photoshop in Photography and Design. And then I end up in an interesting blog The Unofficial Photoshop Weblog. The name of the blog says much itself. I will continue to explore this new spot of Internet websites and share my discoveries with you later.
Almost forgotten about Photoshop TV with weekly podcasts and video.

To remove people or moving cars from a picture in a single exposure, all you need is to increase the exposure time (shutter speed). That's not always easy with existing equipment. You may need to extend the shutter speed up to several minutes. But it could be achieved by using Neutral Density (ND) filters. The thing works because the amount of light reflected from people is so much smaller than from the environment (or building). So longer the exposure, the harder to notice the moving objects.

I scouted over the Internet and tried to find a few photoblogs that could be of interest to me and you.
So far here is the list (I will add more with time):

• I Like Cameras
• Travel Photography Blog
• The Digital Photography Weblog
• Wildlife Photography Blog
• Dave Beckerman Photography
• Billy Sheahan Photography Blog

There were a lot of topics and questions all over the Internet about joining Canon Professional Services (CPS). At Photo.Net I found this topic, which discusses this issue and answers on many related questions. So far it is the best source for this kind of information I found.

There is an interesting invention/discovery, though expensive for the market. The idea of the invention is to capture information about the direction of light so the photographer could refocus the image aftewards. But why should I explain it to you?
