Pics Can Talk

Every bit of pun was intended with the title above .  Well, I've just added a collection of shots on Flickr of my trip to Bali.  These are HDR rendered sets, all edited with a single RAW. What is interesting about this new shots are the fact that I am applying some texturing effect, such as the sunlight streaming effects to create a unique and even more surrealistic effect to the shots. 

Honestly, I discovered it by accident as I had been doing some retouching effects to reduce noise and came across the final effect of this.The shot you see above is the first of a number of shots which follows this series.  I will be posting a tutorial here pretty soon on creating this effect.  So do check back often.

In May's issue of Click! Magazine, I write about the occurrence of digital camera noise.  You can learn how to make your shots smoother and post-processing ideas to remove digital camera noise.

Also remember to flip to the "Yes You Can" pages for some interesting ideas about unconventional methods to improve your photography.

This month, I am also back to reviewing your pics in the Pictures for Review section.
