Here’s a nice “glowing” effect and described well. Nice simple trick and easily duplicated in the GIMP too!

Murder funeral crowd 'knew exactly what to do'
Ok, this is a frightening story in the Examiner!
Mr “Jaws” Ward Jr said told the jury they were still advancing forward when the accused, Mr Michael “Bumbee Hitler” McDonagh Sr said: “Shoot them. Shoot them. Kill them.”
Mr “Jaws” Ward Jr said under cross examination that he picked up a slash hook that was on the side of the road as he walked towards the assembled crowd of McDonaghs.

Clampdown on Photographer's Rights in New York City
This piece by Thomas Hawk is yet again another story of a photographer being stopped in New York. I wanted to take photo of Grand Central when I was in New York last year but I never made it over there. Looks like I’ll have to get a permit if I decide to go there again!
Keepin' it simple – Grrrr, be aggressive!
Over at A Whole Lotta Nothing Matthew Haughey gives a simple example to explain why aggression might not be the best policy.
I wish more Bush supporters could read this and grasp the idea that America isn’t any more special than other countries. Not likely however.

Copyright Application Tutorial
Must read this copyright application tutorial
You already own it. In most cases, unless you specifically signed away your rights, you – the photographer – own the copyright and the right to license and re-license the image in any way you choose. This is true even if you have not registered your copyright or put your copyright notice on the image. Where registration makes a real difference is when something has gone wrong and your rights are being infringed.
Interesting. You can register your photo with ASMP to help protect your copyright. I haven’t had any problem with copyright yet, and hopefully won’t in the future either!
And did you think you could publish and profit from your City photos?
In addition to property-release issues, you also need to think about copyright concerns vis-a-vis buildings if they were built after December 1, 1990. Before that, buildings did not have copyright protection and were thus, by definition, in the public domain. Shoot away.
I presume that applies in the US, is the law the same in the EU?

I love most of the images on this page!
I wonder if I could pick out my own “best of year” photo collection and post them here. Some of the pic of the day photos would make it, as well as a few that are still lying dormant on my PC at home.
