Points of View Photo Project #27
Welcome to the 27th week of the Points of View Photo Project!
This week we are fortunate to have a source image from Friend-of-the-Blog Marc Benton of the Columbus Skyline. Thank you Marc!
We have 6 versions for your enjoyment this week! I am excited for the continued growth of the project and I encourage you all to give it a shot for next week. We have a special image at the end of the post that comes from my brother, Chris, from his recent trip to Antarctica.
So have a look at what we all did to process this initial photo and, who knows, you might learn a little something too!
Points of View Photo Project #26
Welcome to the 26th edition of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
This week’s source image came from regular contributor, Henrik Demey from Belgium. About the photo, he writes:
“This picture was taken during a city trip to Prague, Czechia. It shows the central interior of the Saint Nicholas Church, on the Old Town Square. This baroque church dates from 1735.”
Thanks for sharing your shot with us, Hendrik! If any of you would like to share one of your shots with us to use as our source image in an upcoming week, please send it to me at pov@jasondmoore.com and you may see it in the next few weeks.
And now, onto this week’s contributions!
Weekend Photo Shoot
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of setting up in my living room to shoot some photos of my beautiful wife Kim, her friend Tisha and her husband Steve, and even get a new headshot taken – by Kim.
Find out more about the setup I used and check out a selection from the shoot after the jump…
Points of View Photo Project #22
Welcome to the 22nd edition of the Points of View Photo Project! This week we have been lucky enough to have a chance to work with not one, but three source images from reader and blog contributor Steve Kalman who challenged us to produce an HDR image, if we were so bold to try it.
Read on to see what some of our regulars have done with these photos and to learn how you can grab next week’s source image and participate in this excellent project that gets your creative juices flowing, invites you to experiment and try new things, and opens you up to the different perspectives that can come from a common image.
Also, be sure to scroll down to the bottom to find out how you can share your photos and a source image for one of our upcoming editions of the project!
Playing Around with Topaz Adjust
I was working on a logo design for a former co-worker of mine last night when I got the urge to just play. I’ve only been feeling creative sporadically lately so I thought I would take advantage of this moment of inspiration and indulge it a bit.
Points of View Photo Project: #21
Welcome to the 21st week of the Points of View Photo Project here at Jason D. Moore Photography!
For those of you new to the project, each week I post a source image that is straight out of the camera that readers are free to download and manipulate however they please (as long has it is used for the sole purpose of this project) and then send it back to me for posting here. The goal is to share the many different interpretations – or points of view – that can be applied to a common source image.
This week, we have 3 different takes on the original coming from myself and a couple of our regulars, Andy and Hendrik. If you would like to participate, click on the “more” link below and find out how you can take part in our special, reader-submitted HDR Points of View Project.
Best Shots of 2009: A Year in Review
As the old year passes I like to take a few minutes and review my work from the previous 12 months.
I know I took more bad shots than good but, as I’ve been told, a professional is someone who knows which photos to leave out of their portfolio. I also tend to believe that any artist worth anything is never satisfied with their work. It is never finished, simply abandoned.
So as we round out the year, rather than showing you some great shots, here is a collection of my photos that sucked the least. (Just kidding…)
Take a look through my Best Photos of 2009 gallery and let me know which are your favorites!
Last Chance for This Week’s Points of View!
Now that I’m back to my regular daily blogging, tomorrow will be our next installment in the Points of View Photo Project.
If you’re new to the Points of View Project, the main purpose is to serve as a creative exercise where multiple people take a common photo they’ve never seen before and experiment with it to something unique. (more…)
Photoshop Training DVD Interest Inquiry
As I mentioned yesterday, I am in the planning stages of producing my own Photoshop Training DVD geared for beginners and advanced intermediate users.
Instead of just jumping in and producing something based on what I think people want, I thought I would start by asking a few questions so I could hear from you and tailor the final project to more closely fit your needs as my target audience. (more…)
December 2009 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar
Each month I publish a new photographic desktop wallpaper featuring one of my photos as well as a custom calendar with holidays and other important dates listed. The image for the December 2009 Desktop Calendar was taken looking up from beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris during the summer of 2008. I have to credit my amazing wife, Kim, for the idea.
Click on one of the links below to download yours today so you’ll be ready for December!
*If your screen resolution is not displayed, please leave a comment and I’ll be sure to include it next time!
Also, if you would like to sponsor the monthly desktop calendars to get your name/brand in front of readers on a daily basis, or if you would like to partner with us on one of our other regular series, projects, or to advertise on this site, please visit our “Become a Sponsor” page today to learn how!
Points of View Photo Project: #18
Welcome to the 18th edition of the weekly Points of View Photo Project!
Each week I post a source image that is the out-of-the-camera original and offer it up for anyone who would like to take a shot at processing it. This isn’t a contest, this isn’t about who is better, it’s simply a chance to experiment and have fun.
When everyone is complete, they send me their versions and I post a gallery to share the many perspectives with which a single image might be seen. Take a look at the Points of View Photo Gallery for this week!
Get the source image for next week, after the jump… (more…)
Points of View Photo Project: #17
Welcome to the 17th edition of the “Points of View Project“!
Every Friday I will post a new, out-of-the-camera image for you to download. You may process, manipulate, composite, experiment, or otherwise alter the photo in any way you wish. The hope is that we will get to see a number of different takes on the same image and/or see it used in unique ways as a part of a new image.
This is not a contest or competition. It’s simply a way of stretching our creative muscles and to get those juices flowing through experimentation and seeing how many different interpretations can be applied to the same starting photo. (more…)
Twitter: Photoshop Tips of the Day
Starting last night and continuing every weeknight, probably around 10pm (Eastern) or so, my followers on Twitter will be treated to a new segment I am doing called – imaginatively enough – Photoshop Tip of the Day.
Though I could do full-length tutorials with one tweet/step, single tips are easier to digest and lend themselves so much better to the Twitter format.

The Results Are In: October Photo Contest!
It’s that time once again to announce the winner of the latest Monthly Photo Contest!
As it is every month, I am both excited at the number of entries and daunted by the many excellent images submitted. I am also pretty stoked by this month’s prize. The lucky winner is going to be receiving one of their images sublimated on a 16″x20″ piece of metal from our friends over at IGT America. I have one, myself, and it is not only an amazing process, it is also a very unique way of presenting your work.
So, without further ado, the winner of the sublimated photo print is: (more…)
Photoshop Video Contest: Entry #1
As you will notice, I’ve begun making a few changes around here. Most notably with the layout. Every 6-9 months I like to freshen things up a bit and give the site a little face lift and since my last redesign was in March, I felt that it was due. There are still some bugs to work out as I get used to this new system, so please bear with me.
Now that NAPP’s So You Think You Can Teach Photoshop?! contest is closed and the judging is soon to be under way, I thought I would share my entries with you. (more…)
