TV segment of Iceland for the Martha Stewart Show by Lisa Keller.

Hi Lisa -

 

Just wanted to share this with everyone.

Back in April I had been asked to take some video of Icelandic horses for an upcoming TV segment of Iceland for the Martha Stewart Show. The TVshow ran yesterday on The Hallmark Channel.

 

For the tv show, I had video taped the following clips:

Martha Stewart riding an Icelandic Horse around a  nearby park and on her property.

I also showed various riders at different locations displaying the different types of gate (speed) of the horses.

And last of all I showed my horse Tyja rolling around in a pen at the farm after a good days ride.

 

I had a lot of fun taking the video for the TV segment.

 

Here is the weblink to the Martha Stewart Iceland Show:

 

Select the 4th picture labeled  "Icelandic Horses"

Enjoy!

Quick Tip: "CS 6?  But, I just got used to CS 5!"  

  

So, you just got used to Photoshop CS5, and there's a NEW version on the way?  Don't worry, there are some rather nice features in Adobe's soon-to-be-released Photoshop CS6 that'll make it worth the upgrade, and they're simple to implement. So, rather than a written "Quick Tip" this week, here's something I think you'll enjoy:  A short 3 minute video - this is the first in a series on "whats new" in CS6 Beta - look for more short videos in occasional future "Quick Tips".

Oh, and this is a preview of things to come with my upcoming Photoshop Video Series.  These videos will complement my Photoshop Book, chapter-by-chapter, and will be subscription-based;
you can watch online in HD at your convenience.

Like my "Quick Tips"? Then you'll love my Photoshop book - - It's designed for photographers - Available as a spiral-bound book or downloadable PDF -  Click here ...

Scott Kelby on Adobe Creative Cloud

http://scottkelby.com/2012/my-adobe-creative-cloud-quick-qa/ 

But before we get to the questions, I thought I would at least try to explain, in one brief paragraph, what the Creative Cloud is. Here’s how I understand it:

“It’s two things: (1) You can pay a monthly fee and get to download onto your computer, and use, full versions of all of Adobe’s Creative Suite software (everything from the latest Photoshop to After Effects to Dreamweaver to Premiere Pro, and so on [I think it’s 26 programs in all). As long as you pay your monthly membership, you get to use any (or all) of their software programs. And (2) You get a number of Web services including things like Cloud syncing, Adobe’s Business Catalyst Web hosting, storage and online collaberation stuff among others (a list of which I’m sure will grow pretty quickly).”

Read the entire article here: http://scottkelby.com/2012/my-adobe-creative-cloud-quick-qa/  include some good Q&A

“The Stolen Scream” update

I posted about the scream March 2011http://www.thestolenscream.com/

I recently saw an update about it on fstoppers


"Its been a year since “The Stolen Scream” video was published here on Fstoppers- and what a crazy year it was since then. In this post I will update you on some of what happened with this story. The video was viewed over 330,000 times, and the story itself was featured in many big news outlets (Gizmodo, Time, American Photo Mag, MSNBC and others), and became a case study in many colleges around the world. Its even on Wiki now."

Clay Blackmore, one of the most passionate professional photographers working today, is a true innovator in the world of portraiture and wedding photography. One of only a few Canon Explorers of Light, Blackmore’s style blends the beauty and timelessness of classical portraiture with the spontaneity and appeal of photojournalism. His credentials were developed during his 25-year association with the legendary Monte Zucker as assistant, business partner, and co-educator. A celebrity and society favorite, Clay’s clients have included such luminaries as Larry King, Forrest Whitaker, Jenna Elfman, and Maria Sharapova. Renowned for his ability to photograph groups and cover events, Clay is consistently hired by corporate entities as diverse as the PGA and USGA and is a popular request for political inaugural balls. In Clay’s groundbreaking work on Extraordinary Women: Fantasies Revealed Clay photographically chronicles the dreams of 58 elite women, capturing intimate and energetic portraits of Madeline Albright, Dena Merrill, Joan Rivers, Cokie Roberts, and Dominique Dawes among others. Blackmore is an active and contributing member of the elite Cameracraftsmen of America.
