Day of the Dead Merchandise Collection

Posted
The Mexican festival of the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) falls yearly on November 2nd. The festival is a merging of pre-Columbian Aztec rites and the Catholic feast day of All Souls. The celebration of Halloween is closely related. 

In addition to Mexico, festivals celebrating the Day of the Dead take place in many places across the U.S. The festival is characterized by sometimes elaborate altars (ofrendas) memorializing the deceased, with marigolds, colorful paper-cutouts (similar to Buddhist prayer flags), and photos and mementos of the deceased's favorite things, food and drink. Some elaborate ofrendas recreate events such as family gatherings around the dinner table, weddings, and the like. 

I have put together a collection of digital art in celebration of the Day of the Dead. Each artwork is available in a wide array of merchandise, including clothing, mugs, laptop and iPad covers, etc. The collection can be viewed at Day of the Dead Merchandise Collection.

Taking Photos in RAW DNG Format with Mobile Devices

Posted
Note: This post was originally published on January 16, 2017, as the second part of a three-part series on RAW format mobile photography. Some details — particularly the apps' feature sets, Android versions, and the state of mobile RAW photography — have changed considerably since then. I've left the original text in place as a record of where things stood at the time. Following on from yesterday's post ( What is RAW photography format? ), today I am going to share with you some ways you can take RAW DNG (digital negative) files using an Android device such as a smartphone or tablet. Currently I am using a Google Pixel XL smartphone running on Android 7.1.1 (Nougat). If you haven't yet read yesterday's post, I recommend that you take the time to do so to give you an understanding of the advantages of taking your photos in RAW format. Android Apps That Allow You to Take Photos in RAW Format Currently, these are the two apps I use on my Google Pixel XL ...

Adjusting Levels and Curves with Photoshop

Posted
When I was working with this photo of the sunset over the Grand Canyon last night, I realized that it was a perfect photo to demonstrate the power of the two quick Photoshop adjustments that improve almost any photo. They are adjusting the levels and curves. Almost all photos benefit from an adjustment to both of these elements. I opened the photo of the sunset which I shot using Canon's raw format (CR2). A "raw" file is actually not an image file; it's a data file that has to be opened with a program that can read it and process it as an image file. Photoshop has plug-ins for handling the raw files for all the common brands of cameras. Here's the before and after of the image: The original unadjusted photo has an orange cast. A lot of photos have casts, and especially wide-angle landscape photos. You can think of the cast as something like a colored mesh or filter over the entire surface of the photo. Adjusting levels will remove the color cast. So let's sta...
