Brushes and Blogs

Hello,

I'm leaving for Ohio today and I wanted to get my blog post out of the way. Here's a link to a post about photoshop brushes: http://www.topdesignmag.com/20-awesome-adobe-photoshop-brushes/

Also, if you're interested in photography, I'm taking a photography special problems class and blogging about my photos. My areas of concentration for the class are as follows: landscape photography, pet and animal photography, portrait photography and food photography. I'll be updating today and throughout the trip to Ohio. Check it out! Here's the link: http://photoexploration.wordpress.com/

Have a great week!

Due to the snow there isn't much to reflect upon from class. I'm glad levels and curves have been used in class. Those two adjustments are my favorites for improving photographs. Below are a few links I found today that I thought were useful.
