Equine Cross County Jump. Boulder County, Colorado, 2012
If you have issues with the following three major topics (as I have had) and want some great answers, then check out the link (given at end of post) to a superb article by Cole Thompson. Here are some of the things he’ll help you with:
1) Ever wonder what is involved in making great artistic images? Check out his 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 theory.
2) Don’t think you have the Photoshop talent necessary to make beautiful photographs? Console yourself and give yourself some hope with Cole’s “lack” of talent declaration.
3) Trying hard to get your monochrome conversions to come out with more pop–do they tend to be too “flat” looking? Cole has some specific tips on adjusting contrast as well as setting the white and black points using the Levels tool with the histogram, all to make them look better. (And he doesn’t use plug-ins!)
If you want some answers to these key issues, see this article by Cole Thompson. His web site is also worth a visit–check out his galleries then spend some time perusing his newsletters.
One of these days I’ve got to see if I can get some one-on-one mentoring sessions with this guy!
