Alternatives to Buying Adobe Creative Suites!

Rather than buying the CS suite, assuming you still practice legal software operation, you can not subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud. This is a new way of delivering Adobe CS plus cloud storage to users in a cost effective way. No longer will you have to shell out big cash for new versions of the software. You can get access to the software and cloud storage for a monthly fee!

This is a revolutionary way of offering the CS products and much more.

HDR Photography Technique

HDR is a powerful tool for creating an image from several exposures. It is used when you are shooting a subject that makes it impossible to capture shadow and highlight details all in one exposure. It is best used if you shoot on a tripod. It should be used to enhance and illustrate. Be sure your images don't have halos. It can create surrealist effects but be careful...do you want to be a one trick pony?
