Photo Of The Day – How I Shot It And Installing GIMP Portable

After taking some feedback from viewers of The Carey Adventures’ Photo Of The Day, I’ve started expanding my input on how certain shots were taken and post-processed. As some of you know I also write for various websites, including Digital Photography School and Tuts+.  This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a new post on both sites from material I had submitted.

On DPS there is my article telling how you can install GIMP (something of a freeware version of Photoshop, and yes I know that explanation isn’t complete :) ) on a portable device, include the memory card in your camera.  I use GIMP while on the road and some times at home because it is straight forward and lightweight.

Next is a How I Shot It article for the image below which appeared as the Photo Of The Day on November 24th.  The article is entitled Getting Phenomenal Nature Shots With A Wide Angle Lens and highlights shot setup as well as what I did in Photoshop Lightroom afterwards to adjust the image.

I hope you enjoy both articles and I’ll do what I can to keep posting “How I Shot It” information with the Photo Of The Day posts here on The Carey Adventures.
