This tutorial will teach you how to create frames for your photos in Adobe Photoshop.  I like to keep mine really simple, but once you learn the technique you can experiment and add your own personal touches such as more layers, or wood finishes.  The process is really quite simple, and if you want you can save it as an action so that Photoshop will add the frame for you automatically.

Winter is actually a great time to shoot photos.  A lot of people shoot less in the winter, but up here in Canada you got to learn to enjoy the cold.  I've always wanted to shoot a waterfall in the winter, so up to Hamilton it was.  The only problem is Hamilton is known for its air pollution.  This air pollution gets in the water, on the snow and everything.  The snow and ice around the water actually turned an ugly yellow.  So I thought I'd share with you a tutorial or lesson using a very easy Adobe Photoshop technique to turn your ugly yellow or grey snow back into something that looks clean and pure.

Some of you might be thinking I've gone off the deep end.  But it actually makes quite a lot of sense. A telescope is actually a lens itself.  Now obviously a high quality camera lens is going to perform better than the average telescope.  But what if your camera lens doesn't have enough reach to get a close-up of a subject? The great thing about telescopes is that you can get some great magnification for a very low cost.  A lot of you might have one lying around that was given to you as a gift like I did.  I won't go into details about different types of telescopes.  I will tell you mine is not considered very high end.  It is a small 80mm Schmidt-Cassegrain.  In the photos below you can see it's of the Towa brand. Don't ask me who they are, I got this as a present as a child.  So how did my 800mm Monster do?
