Happy Thursday everyone. Coming hot off the heels of a really cool Joe McNally artcile, I was very happy to see that another friend of mine is wrapping up another wonderful book. David Duchemin of The Pixelated Image is closing in on Within The Frame (Shame on you people for thinking ill of WTF..*snicker* ) a 260 page look into the mind of an just an amazing travel photographer.

I’m convinced that once you see the David’s images, you’ll become a believer. Matter of fact, Peachpit was so convinced of the same thing that they have posted on the net a FREE downloadable chapter of Within The Frame just for you to check out. I could not be happier for David, and firmly believe that this book is going to be one of those that you just cant put down. Congrats again- and well done!

Jean Francois Brings out The Big Softboxes
Jean Francois has got a great tutorial on the use of the softbox, and even more importantly – he goes into a good bit of detail on the concept of using a light meter. Good on him for taking the time and going over the technical part of all of this for everyone. Make sure you click on the link below to get to the video:
