Using Photoshop Lens Blur with depth map
This looks pretty interesting….
– “Using the Lens Blur Filter on an image Sequence in Photoshop CS6
Even with the fantastic new Blur Gallery in Photoshop CS6, the Lens Blur filter is an essential tool when a high degree of control is needed to selectively (and realistically) blur an image. In this video tutorial, Julieanne uses the Lens Blur filter with a depth map to to create a series of images that appear as if they were captured with a tilt-shift lens. Julieanne also demonstrates how to quickly apply this filter to multiple images using actions and batch processing”.

Congratulations to all the category winners and photographers receiving honorable mentions. Although not as lucky as 2011 (Winner in ‘Nature’ and ‘Others’), I was fortunate enough to be included amongst the photographers whose works were selected for honorable mentions in the “Landscape” and “People” categories. You can see my entries here, here and here.
This is an international contest with thousands of entries from over 20 countries. It’s nice to have the work acknowledged in this manner.
A big thanks to the organizers who made it possible.
AddOn Exhibition @ Mary Place Gallery curated by Charles McKean and Moshe Rosenveig
The AddOn Exhibition closes tomorrow and I can say without a doubt that it was a great pleasure to have work hanging alongside some of the exceptional talent in that show. A big thank you to Charles McKean for the invite to submit work. The curatorial for the show was managed by Charles McKean and Moshe Rosenzveig. Hats off for a beautiful journey through 122 photographic works. Mention also must be made of the stunning book of the works in the show produced by Momento Books. Last years AddOn 2011 book received a Silver Award at the Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards. That should give you some idea of the quality I’m talking about.
I didn’t start taking shots of the show until the huge crowd began thinning out. Here’s a little from the show.
