Give your photos that Infra-Red look with the Pseudo-IR Plugin for Photoshop. This great little free plug-in was brought to our attention by one of our forum members (Chris, aka Thios). Pseudo-IR is a plug-in which helps to simulate the look of using traditional B&W infra-red film. It works great on landscapes and architecture shots, and with the free price tag it’s one that everyone should add to their collection of useful artistic plug-ins.
We’ve been hard at work on the fourth issue of the PhotographyBB Online Magazine! A few of us were on vacation last week, so we’ve set the release date for Issue 4 to be on May 20th, 2008. This way, we’ll be able to ensure the quality and content for our latest issue without compromising our standards! The June issue (Issue 5) will still be released on it’s regularly scheduled date of June 10th, 2008 (second Tuesday of every month).
Thanks to all of our readers for your patience and we look forward to seeing you for our best ever release coming up!

Tether your DSLR camera to your notebook for live shoots in Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom
A lot of photographers have had two burning questions on their minds. 1) Can I tether my digital SLR camera to my notebook? and 2) Can I get it working with Lightroom? We are pleased to say a resounding YES to both of those questions! Here’s how we accomplished tethering a Pentax K10D to our Macbook running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.4.
First off, why would you want to tether your digital camera for a shoot? Tethered shooting (with Lightroom) offers several advantages, aside from the obvious one of being able to more accurately preview your shots on the fly on your notebook’s display. You may be shooting with a client or art director, who’ll be able to see the shots as they are taken, offering additional creative advantages. Additionally, not only can you more accurately check image sharpness, exposure, and such; Lightroom also can apply processing presets on the fly, letting you preview and inspire your creativity during a shoot.
