No Entry

Mike Hoffman — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:16:28 +0000

Nothing says "welcome" less than bars over the windows – except, perhaps also adding a plywood barrier inside. With a small peephole, of course, for surveillance purposes.

Of course, in this window, there seems to be a small can for donations available – just in case you're so inclined!

This image is part of the excellent +#Window Wednesday series on G+.

Mike Hoffman — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:39:46 +0000

In today's tutorial on TipSquirrel, I show a way to create reusable, customizable image borders using the tools found within Photoshop – Plug-ins are not required!

It seems that nearly every third party plug-in these days has some ability to provide a variety of image borders, but so far that capability isn’t in Pho…

Package Lost In Transit

Mike Hoffman — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:17:00 +0000

On a recent visit to Nelson, NV I had a chance to photograph lots of the wonderful old stuff they keep lying around. In particular, this old delivery truck caught my eye, and it seems to be appropriate to post it for this season, in which 99.9% of us received our packages on time, and a few did not. Perhaps this was one of the deliveries that didn't make it through!

Breakfast Window

On a morning stroll near the beach, I encountered this curious sidewalk-access window at The Hurricane beachfront restaurant. I knew this would be an appropriate subject for this week's +Window Wednesday . Happy Christmas and joyous wishes to all, and best wishes for a prosperous new year.

Christmas Cookies with Photoshop 3D

Mike Hoffman — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:09:00 +0000

In today's tutorial on the Photoshop Tips site of +Greyson TipSquirrel , I create a tasty plate of Christmas cookies using the 3D capabilities of Photoshop CS5 Extended. CS5 makes it easy to create very interesting and realistic 3D models and environments, and with Photoshop, you have the ability to mix 2D and 3D together for a very nice composition.

Windows in Boston

Mike Hoffman — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:48:36 +0000

Here is my contribution to this week's #WindowWednesday effort! Boston is home to so many amazing old buildings, but sometimes you have to look at them just a little differently…

Copenhagen Windows

Mike Hoffman — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:25:44 +0000

In my strolls through Copenhagen, I was repeatedly taken in by the architecture (we don't have a high concentration of older buildings in Florida!). I liked this one, with the gutter running through the pattern of open windows, and it seems appropriate to post for #WindowWednesday on G+. This photo has rule of thirds all over it.

Tequila Moonrise II

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:42:43 +0000

I created a series of light paintings last week for a photo project. After picking out the best one, I went back to look at the rejects. I decided that some of the "rejected" images actually had some interesting features. So, I combined them and painted in the best parts of each. This is a good example of where using a tripod helps immensely! Aligning the multiple images was a breeze.
