I did do one of my photos as an in-depth write up, and you can find it at <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2007/03/11/graffiti-photography-photoshop-technique/" rel="nofollow">Graffiti Photography: Photoshop Technique</a>. I found that it took a lot of extra time to say the same thing, but I also think that it was worth it for a really specific technique. For the regular stuff (like this one), I don't know that dragging it out would be worth the extra time. My approach for addressing the novice photographers has been to write tutorial articles on one specific aspect of my process, so it can be applied to more than one photo. For example, I've written about <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2007/03/17/photo-sharpening-techniques/" rel="nofollow">Photo Sharpening Techniques</a>, <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2007/04/16/advanced-layer-mask-creation-in-photoshop/" rel="nofollow">Layer Mask Creation</a>, and <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2007/07/02/photoshop-tip-non-destructive-burning-and-dodging/" rel="nofollow">Dodging and Burning</a>. I'll continue to write up tutorials on specific techniques in Photoshop, and I'm more than open to suggestions for topics. Thanks Neil!

Well done. It's very interesting to see the process involved in turning the image from raw to output. It's also interesting to see how your process differs from mine. My only concern would be for novice photographers. The terminology would be quite overwhelming. Have you ever, or do you plan to write a more involved process as a kind of tutorial? It would be something valuable for sure. Maybe I should beat you to it ;) Stunning photo Brian! Well done.

I'd like to see some of your processing steps, and anybody else's for that matter. I like seeing the start to finish kind of thing, but not a lot of people do it unless it's wrapped up in a huge tutorial. Nab all you want — it’s fine.

It's perfect for showing the post-processing steps of a single photo. I like the fact that you left out the sharpening step to keep the photo feeling soft and warm.

I think the one in my reader was dead, so I added the new one. The new page layout looks pretty nice too -- it looks like you've done a little bit of work on it. Cool, thanks for the heads up.

I'm trying to get back into things. I just need to get the cable internet hooked back up and I'll be all set. Hey Jenni, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you.

Those are the kind of shots for which you have to be at the right place at the right time to get them. Unfortunately I always don't have my camera with me when I get great landscape opportunities :( I hope you'll find more time to post now that you are all moved. Very cool shot Brian!
