Scott,

I’d like to know what font you used for “kelby photography” and “desert collection”

Hey Scott, Bill Fortney said a couple of years ago that he got a photoshop action from you to create the poster look like you have with this picture. Is this action available somewhere? Book, download or the like? I’d love to have it or know which book to buy to learn how to create my own.

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Great to hear you had a good trip over in Dubai. The place looks stunning and is certainly one of those ‘must go’ places on my travel list.

Asl always, some great shots!!!

Gregg … the framing method Scott has used on this image can be found in his Photoshop CS3 for Digital Photographers … infact this and may more can be found in there so I’d highly recommend getting it as I’m sure many others who have it also would.

Cheers,
Glyn

Scott,

Can you do a little How-To post on the framing technique you did to this post’s image? I’ve seen this being used over on Moose Peterson’s BLOG, as well as Laurie Excel’s and Moose’s assistants’ sites too. Now you’ve started. Can you give a basic how-to someday? Or point us all where this technique is illustrated in detail?

I have made several attempts at doing this technique, even starting from inside Lightroom via an Export preset I’ve created, then calling a Droplet your Lightroom guided me on how to set up. Works great, but I want to know if there’s a “better” technique for the framing/matting portion.

Love the images you and Jeff have posted from your trip to Dubai!

Hey Scott – welcome back to the good ole’ US of A! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your pics from the Dubai trip. This first one looks kind of familiar though…

I know you’re a Mac guy, but did you know there’s a Windows desktop wallpaper very similar to this?

Sorry, just had to poke a little at ya! From the shots thus far, all of you had a great time and came back with some amazing captures! Have a good rest of the week, and (as I say over at CB), happy shooting!

I a couple of places in your digital photography book you talk about landscapes and not splitting the photo with the horizon, but either emphasis on foreground or sky – in this photo about equal – it is a beautiful photo – care to comment?

Nice shot scott. You really gotta start using HDR on these amazing scenes though :-}

Why Don;t you use the 1.4 50mm. I can’t recall if you shoot Canon or Nikon, bit I think they both have the 1.4, and at least on the Canon side the 1.4 is still small, but a much better lens. I use it all the time and it crystal clear with a great Boka.

Hi Scott,

good choice taking a small light prime with you on your Italy trip. Only I think you’d be better off with Nikon 35/2 (similar size/weight as 50/1.8) for general purpose low light shooting, 50mm is often too narrow and limiting on D300 body, while 35mm fulfills a role of a classical normal lens on 1,5x crop camera.
Add a 85/1.8 and you might even end up using just those two

Anyway, have fun and enjoy some Chianti & Pecorino cheese

I’m planning on going to Italy next year and your comments about your experiences with having the wrong lens at the time really got me thinking. I’m a Canon and I have multiple lenses but not one that will give me the wide angle and the zoom at the same time. I went to New Orleans last month to Photograph the Extreme Makeover Home Edition and dealing with my have bag and multiple lenses was a real pain.

Thank you so much for your everything you do for your fans.

Hi Scott,

I like the picture from Dubai… Did you use the 7 point system on it? Also, the picture of the hallway/tunnel at the beginning of the blog is another one of yours that is pleasing to the eye palette. Is that pic from Dubai too?

Corey rocks on the pen tool lesson!

Happy Wednesday!
