Somewhere in Ireland and a Quick Tip Tuesday

“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” -Pat Conroy

Although this might look like an HDR bracket, its not. I used this raw file I captured while bumbling around Ireland a couple years ago. I love revisiting some of these places in my quiet moments. Takes my mind off of the insanity that sometimes surrounds me …. LOL. Not really….(well, kinda)

Anyway….

I used it for a quick tip Tuesday video I uploaded yesterday and liked how it turned out. During the video, I rushed through it and kinda did a hack job, but I then refined it a bit and though I’d share it.

Not sure what this was other than a cool carriage yard of sorts that was attached to the amazingly cool place I found to stay at. Thanks to Fiona for the tip!

One more quick thing while I have ya. I also uploaded a quick video yesterday about a deal that On One Software was having on their site (thank for the tip Matt!). They were offering their plug in called Perfect Effects 8 for free! I snatched up a quick copy and played with it for a few minutes and was able to create these versions below. Its layer out very intuitive and I hope to share more about it soon. Not sure if the deal is still going on (it was supposed to end yesterday), but even at 99 bucks, its a great tool for the toolbar.

As always, more on ALL of this later 🙂
