But I must admit that his Photoshop work is very good and he should be admired for this. Please compare these 3 photographs: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6313645 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5803716 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5530970 It's the same tree with totally different foreground. Regards, Stan Scott,

I think they are gorgeous! I don't think I would've ever thought of enhancing my photos that way, but for all those wondering how it's done, it's probably just a matter of getting really good with creating artificial light rays in post produciton in Photoshop. There are a number of tutorials on how to so this all over the web. The trick to it is, to hone that skill to the astounding level displayed by Rarinda Prakasa, which is probably not easy, and requires practice. For anyone interested in the real name of those kinds of light rays, they are called "corpuscular" light. See, you learn something new every day! :) I'd be interested in seeing a complete before and after comparison from Rarinda showing what his camera really captured, and what magical composition he ended up with. -Mark Hey Scott, thanks for posting a link to those pics.

I just got lightroom for $99. at campustech. (I do happen to be a student right now) Just google student discount software or something like that and it will bring up several sites.

There's a web site www.academicsuperstore.com that sells only to students, parents of students and teachers. They have Lightroom for $98.95, CS3 Extended for $297.95 and a bundle of the two for $379.95. So, someone with a child K-12 or college is eligible. I'm placing my order today. Thanks for your blog, it's a great resource. Scott, you mentioned a good deal on CS3 over at DSLR Dad and I just wanted to pass this along.

I was sick too, with the ucky stuff. I agree with some of the comments about Rarindra Prakarsa’s work I think u need a training class on how u get this effect. That would be awesome. Glad your better. Scott-

To date nobody has figured it out! Ask him and he usually responds in broken English, "Thanks, glad you like. Please come see my country." He has never assisted anyone by even giving a clue.

And I can't thank you enough for what you do. Love your books. Love NAPP/Layers/etc. etc--love all of it. That said, I couldn't help but think that you might enjoy this older McSweeney's post I came across (a hilarious fun site with nary a photog on it). Having been struck by the 'ick' myself these days, it's just the bout of laughter I needed, and I hope you enjoy it, too. All the best to you! http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2003/07/14openletter.html Hello there,
