I must say, this is a good read digg++. The only thing is that this guy is sheit at photoshop. I cannot believe he read a book about photoshop. Anyone can apply a layer, but this guy applies the wrong layers for the pictures.
Cheap is the new Expensive! Personally, I really like the photography. I think it's creative and original. It's always interesting to me how other people achieve their results using Photoshop.I digg cheap!
you can do the same stuff without a camera - go to some free stock website, download high-res images, and put them together in some free photoshop-like program with masking and blending abilities. on deviantart.com, you can find tons of people that can make awesome pictures out of stock photography, but their art can sell. if you got talent, buying a nice digital slr (a canon 10D or 350D), and nice equipment (lenses and such) wont be a big deal once you start raking in the money with your talent-filled photos and such. i use photoshop for the pictures i take, but i try not to manipulate my photos so much as to make them look grungy. anyways, yup<a class="user" href="http://sergiemag.deviantart.com/gallery/">http://sergiemag.deviantart.com/gallery/</a> (spam) :D
Good article, but over Photoshopped pictures are getting boring. Nothing can beat good composition and appropriate use of depth of field.If you want SLR quality for a very low budget, I suggest getting a cheap 35mm SLR from EBay. Cameras such as Olympus OMs or Pentax K1000s are going for practically pennies with lenses, are easy to use and take fantastic pictures. Take the film to be processed to Costco and they can give you a photo CD for digital processing.Once you understand how to use a camera properly, you will never look back and won't have to Photoshop so much anyway.

I found it a good read. I am not a photo buff or anything but I thought it was a good crash course type article.

Very nice read. I'll probably adopt some (or all) of the ideas!
