Earlier this month, Google that it purchased online photo editing tool Picnick. What does that mean for Picasa users? To soon to tell. It does mean that the big players are acknowledging the fact the photo editing is no longer in the hands of pro’s or in the hands of those who bother to pay for their own Photoshop. Actually, Adobe already acknowledged this fact when it released their own online photo editing tool, Photoshop.com, in September, 2008.

Photos can do a lot of talking. No wonder! Photo blogs are gaining popularity.
Its all about images, photos and blogs. If photography is your devotion then photo blog is your shrine.

This is an easy technique that helps you to create a ripple effect in your image. This is possible using some simple tools on Photoshop.
Any object can be used for this effect, but an object with well defined edges would no doubt make your job much easier. In this example, we have selected a feather as the object around which we will create the ripple effect.

How much has changed in the world of graphic design in the past 40 years? Hard to tell. We have today technical abilities that people in the 70’s wouldn’t even dream of. Also, we experienced major changes in communications, where graphics have a decisive role. And last, our society, our values and perspectives have changed quite a bit. Sounds like we’re talking about an entirely different universe.

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver that ended yesterday provided photographers with many moments of bliss. Snow is always fun to shoot, but combined with tight, colorful spandex and and extreme athletic abilities, the Vancouver games were a celebration of high speed photography.

We are in one of the most joyous times of year. Spring is slowly sneaking upon those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and we get ready for the celebration of some fantastic holiday celebrations.
This year, March 1st is a colorful day as the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and other natives of South Central Asia rejoice in the holy day of Holi, first mentioned in an ancient Sanskrit script. While the origins of Holi vary, the implementation of throwing beautiful, vibrant colors on one another stems from the always playful and mischievous Lord Krishna.
