Naked Grinding (NSFW)
As you know, we love burning stuff here at Photoshop Scares Me. But even by our standards this one was quite extreme. Ask yourself what you’d do if you were locked in a room with a naked lady and a grinder? For those that don’t know, this is a grinder… When you hold it against…

Tutorial: Burning the Jeep
With a friend heading in to town for the weekend, we started planning our most elaborate burn shot yet, we wanted to surround our Jeep with fire and smoke. The fire was the easy part, we’re getting quite good at that. We simply took the fire whip idea (tutorial here) and made a 9 foot…

Lady Of Light
One of the nice things about light painting is that as long as you’re not a purest (a straight from the camera kinda guy) you get all sorts of options in post processing that are often surprising. I’ve been working on some new light painting tools. I thought they were done and so took them…

Tutorial: Making an Antelope Goddess (multiplicity tutorial)
The image of my multi-armed wife worshiping in Lower Antelope Canyon generated more conversation and ‘likes’ than anything I’ve done on Facebook ever. It was mostly ignored on Flickr, and has generated reasonable traffic here, so I decided to show you how to make one of your own. First, find an 8 armed friend… Plan…

Antelope Gods (playing in Antelope Canyon)
The Native Americans that control Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon are (rightly) very restrictive about what they will and will not allow you to do in their spiritual places. The list of rules for photographers is long but the reality is that the place is run by really nice guys that really love cameras. The…

Birth and Death at Horseshoe Bend
Page Arizona is home to some stunning scenery. The town itself is a tad scary but the views make it well worth the long drive. Deanna and I ended a stunning day sat on the rim of nearby Horseshoe Bend, drinking wine and watching the sun go down. I then started the following day sat…

Tutorial: I finally ‘get’ flash!
Break out the freakin Champagne!! It’s only taken a year. On Wednesday I attended yet another off camera flash course. Just like all the others the presenter (who did a great job) talked about the inverse square law, about f-stops and just photo stuff. This time he said something that no ones else has ever…
