FYI, 50% off of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 until November 30th

I usually don't do much digital editing to my pictures, but I wanted to give a try to the Adobe Photoshop Elements which is not as expensive. The other day I checked their site and noticed that you can download a trial version. Most importantly, I wanted to let you know that if you are interested, they have an offer of $50 off (instant and mail-in rebate) until November 30th, 2010! Here is the link http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopel 


Here is example (sorry, not a very dramatic one), which one do you prefer? Unedited one is the first, edited one, the second.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Back to Black and White

For the introductory course that I took, you always had to shoot in B&W in order to really understand light. And at the end of the course, we had an exhibition. These are the ones I chose. You can view other exhibitions of Photo Manhattan under this link (old one and dates of upcoming ones). 

Autumn Colors

Temperatures have finally dropped in New York, what a pity, I really loved this late Indian summer. So, before we think it's winter instead of fall, here are some of those typical fall pictures and colors. All these were taken a few weeks ago in the Hudson region, New York. Which one do you like the most?

My friend Ale was also part of the trip and took lots of beautiful pictures, and posted some of them on her blog, Zestcatcher. You can see them through this link, but don't just check that post, look at all the other ones: photography, design, great recipes, etc!


This one was taken in 2004, in Lujan, Argentina, but unfortunately the resolution is quite low, not sure why. 

My Adored Empire

When I was taking the course, I lived in Midtown Manhattan with a direct view to the Empire State Building. It soon became an adored subject.

And my favorites. They are of course very similar, but I prefer the right one because with the blurry background it focuses more on the can, the left one has more noise. Which one do you prefer?
