I just got back from a weekend of camping, and tomorrow I’ll be on the road again for Photoshop World. Be sure to check out the Photoshop World Blog for some of my posts—I’ll also be doing a recap on it next week right here on my blog, too. See you back here next week! :)
I’m Blogging at Photoshop World! August 26, 2010

This year, along with the normal crazy fun of Photoshop World (Las Vegas edition) I will be one of the official bloggers as well. Yay! So … if you want to follow along with all the fun then be sure to head on over to the PSW blog and check it out. I’ll probably be pretty silent here at NicolesyBlog.com until the end of next week—I’ve got a lot on my plate and lots of traveling (road trip, w00t!) … but I’ll still be hanging out on Twitter so head on over if you want to see what’s happening in my world.
And, btw, I’m giving a short presentation at the Peachpit booth on Wednesday at the PSW Expo at 2 pm (details here). Since I’m typically more comfortable giving Photoshop demonstrations then this will definitely be interesting (no promises, lol!) … so feel free to stop on by and say hi! :)

It’s a Keeper August 18, 2010

We all know that it’s not the camera that makes a great photo, it’s the photographer. But for some reason I’m always amazed when I get something I consider to be a “keeper” when using my iPhone. The image above is one of those images … I like this one so much I’ll be printing and hanging this on my wall. :)
I used my iPhone 4 to capture this image and edited it using the Camera+ app (my fave iPhone app). It’s a shot looking straight up at a dome covering the shopping area along the walkway towards Universal Studios, Hollywood (before you go through the gates).

I had a fun shoot yesterday in the studio … worked with a new model and we got some great images. I’ve had this idea on my plate (no pun intended, lol) for some time now and have been meaning to integrate people with my food images. I’m really happy with the results and will probably be doing more of these in the future.
