A rare weekend post because this is something special.
There is a photography blog I read written by Scott Kelby. Scott is an awesome photographer and an even better teacher and writer. He is the #1 selling author at Amazon for any genre of book, let alone photography. He is also a Photoshop wizard and has written the best books about that as well.
In his blog today (Friday) he pointed his readers to a site called Photo.net and in particular, to a photographer named Rarindra Prakarsa. Scott had this to say, “His work just made me say, out loud, WOW! If you are a lover of gorgeous light, wonderful composition, and some tasty Photoshop work, this photographer’s images will speak to your soul.”
I visited the site and said a lot more than WOW … the most beautiful photographs I have seen. How can I describe them … emotional, dreamlike, mesmerizing, magical. Rarindra is a master of light.
I have set up a couple of links above and here is another one … you have to go visit if you even only like art a little … these will not only knock your socks off but every other bit of clothing as well.
Here are a few samples of his incredible work …
Browse through the gallery and you’ll see, not only Rarindra's work but thousands of incredible works of photographic art by other artists.
15 Notes to Me:
She takes nice photos, and knows how to use photoshop. There was a discussion at my photo club about the validity of using PS to enhance photos and still considering it a photograph. I think that's bunk, Ansel Adams used to spend hours in the darkroom manipulating his images, nowdays it's just a different way to achieve the same result. I love photoshop and plan to take some online classes later this year to improve my skills with it.
I've bookmarked the sites George, thanks for sharing her work with us.
Cheers Mate!
Wow indeed. Absolutely amazing photos. Thanks George...I'll be putting a link on my site.

Hey Fusion ... if you're using photography as a documentary device than perhaps PS isn't acceptable. But if you are creating art then of course it is acceptable. Saying you shouldn't use it is like telling an artist that he/she wasn't allowed to use anything other than 1 type of canvas and 1 brush
