Behance Video click to watch short demo
What the heck is Behance? Coming from the guy who can’t even pronounce it correctly, that’s a great question. Behance is one of the very cool new features of Adobe Creative Cloud (CC). It’s got many applications, from business to social and what I’m trying is a little on the teaching side. Right now, I just have a couple of Projects loaded but what you can see (watch the video above) is the progress in my finishing an image. No, it’s not a step by step Photoshop lesson. Rather, I’m using it to help photographers see the finished photo in the viewfinder when they go click. It’s the ol which came first, the egg or the pixel question I’m trying to answer. You can follow My Projects on Behance and hopefully, it will help your photography down the road. You can find me here.

I really, really, really do appreciate you all thinking I was smart enough to figure out how these cool “video stills” were created. But I am no where near smart enough. But I’m smart enough to know who could figure out how to create them, my really good friend and Photoshop Wizard Russell Brown! Back when Scott Kelby originally posted the link to these gems, I sent it off to Russell and asked him how there were done. I had an idea but surely didn’t know the steps. In less then a week, Russell not only figured out how to these are made, but produced a video so you can create them yourself! Where’s the video?

Now this is not for the faint of heart, it does take not only some skill but good photographic skills and imagination. I wanna thank my good friend Russell for not only figuring out this process and willing to share it, but for also creating the video teaching the technique. Damn cool!

The little MC-36 doesn’t seem to be a common accessory in folk’s bag. I get a lot of questions about it so here’s a quick video on it
A number of years back in the BT Journal, I wrote about how I like to make star trails (follow link for PDF) with digital cameras. The method permits you to capture star trails and not the noise. In that article I mention a couple of ways of assembling the final star trail. Those methods have been blown out of the water by my good friend Russell Brown!
The genius that is Russell Brown not only figured out a better way to assemble star trails but also put the trails in motion! That’s right, you can watch your star trails in motion! Russell being Russell not only figured out how to do it, but he is sharing the whole recipe with you so you can do it too! So, give this a gander and if it totally sucks you in (and it will), you’ll want to watch this to see how it’s done.
