My first Art Show Season

It’s the end of the calendar year and the end of my first Art show season.

 

Doing Art shows is something that I had thought about doing for some time, but it took the extra little nudge from my photography buddy Sean Simmons to get me out there.

 

It has been a fun learning experience for the ins and outs of finding art shows, traveling to them, and meeting the various other artists at the shows. It is definitely something that I plan to continue next year. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of work involved, but it has been great to get out and see all the folks who appreciate my photography in person.

 

So I want to thank everyone that came out to the various shows that I attended this year. It has been a pleasure to meet you all. Even those who came out during the downpour that was my first show of the year at Hampstead Day.

 

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

 

But just because I’m not at a show doesn’t mean you cannot get some of my photography work. If you live in the central Maryland area I can probably deliver any requested work in person, just send me an email at mark@americankiwiphoto.com or an Instant Message via Facebook (American Kiwi Photo) and I’d be glad to print and matte the requested photo. Also, if there are subjects you would like photos to take of in the Mid-Atlantic, please let me know, I”m always looking for additional subjects to photography.

 

Be sure to follow my American Kiwi Photo Facebook Page to find out what shows I will be attending in 2018. I only have one lined up so far and that is Hampstead Day, but there will be much more to come as the schedules and applications are posted.

 

And if you are looking for great photography editing apps to go with that new camera you got for Christmas, there are several that have year-end deals that are expiring today.

Please check out my blog at markdoddphotography.com or follow the below links.

Glow in Studio

Topaz Glow comes to Topaz Studio

Topaz Glow has been upgraded to “Glow in Studio” and now is part of Topaz Studio

 

Glow in Studio harnesses the power of Topaz Glow by combining 3 powerful Pro adjustments.

The Glow adjustment – Create subtle ethereal light, or striking neon effects with ease, use glow to reveal as much or as little of the hidden light in your images that you want, from brilliant incandescent sparks to light luminous luster.

The HSL Color Tuning Adjustment – Naturally enhance and change image hues, saturation levels, and lightness. With the HSL Color Tuning adjustment, you can also sharpen or soften image details, suppress color artifacts, and change the sensitivity of the color range within your image.

The Smudge adjustment – Create smooth edges and fluid linear paths with an easy to use adjustment that uses an advanced technological algorithm to flow your images lines together organically.

Combined, these three Pro adjustments have the power to push the limits of your creativity with vivid lighting effects, supercharged color, and smooth soft lines to give your images just the spark of life you’re looking for.

Although Luminar 2018 is available for Windows, if you are not interested in the extra bonus items that come with the Black Friday special, I would recommend just downloading a trial version of Luminar 2018 for Windows and test it with your particular system. At initial release, some users have been having issues with running it on their PC systems. Skylum/Macphun is committed to fixing all issues, some may not be fixed until year end. Download the trial and make sure it works with your system. See this Facebook Post from Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum on the topic of Luminar 2018 for Windows.

And here is the FAQ on Luminar 2018 for Windows with its update schedule

The first update to Luminar 2018 has been released. See below for the details on the update

  • Fixed crash on saving to .PSD format

I hope this helps you make an informed decision on whether or not to buy the Windows version of Luminar 2018 with the bonus items or just test out the Free Trial and delay your purchase.

Although I’m a firm believer in the product, I am a Mac user, so I’m not feeling the pain some Windows users have experienced.
