I would like to address a few issues, because I have recieved some emails regarding my recent tutorial posts here.... so let me say this:

1. I am NOT a professional.
2. I use Adobe Photoshop exclusively in all my images.
3. I do NOT use any 3rd party filters, only those found in photoshop.
4. I am NOT a teacher
5. My tutorials are NOT for ADVANCED photoshop users.
6. I have been a photographer for 2 years this month.
7. I use Canon equipment only. I own a 1Ds MK II , & Five "L" series lenses.

A few other notes: Tutorials are not down-loadable because they are in Adobe Flash
(Maybe they are with some other sofyware)
All my tuts are on my forum at http://unnaturalphotos.com/

My website is not commercial, I don't promote anything. It is strictly a forum for photography and digital image manipulation.
It is not Microstock related, we don't cater to stock photography but anyone is free to join.
This is a brand new website with only new members http://unnaturalphotos.com/

Wow, for a non-pro you sure use high-end equipment - especially so for someone only two years into photography.

... keep up the good work!

As Sharply said, you sure have some nice equipment! As far as the tutorials go, keep them coming if you can. I'm sure learning from them and appreciate your effort!

"Wow, for a non-pro you sure use high-end equipment..."

My friend, when I retired, I found all this retirement money all over the place, under my mattress, in the bank, in a jar on my dresser.
There was sooooo much money when I retired I was sweeping it off the floors, and vacuuming it out of the furniture.

Then just when I thought I had everything under control, the state of New York started sending me MORE money and wiring it into my bank.
Then I discovered stock photography. I had to get out of stock photography eventually. Every month, all the websites that I joined started
ganging up on me. They started doing the same thing the state was doing....sending me hundreds of dollars every month. I just got sick of it
and finally quit stock photography. I had to. I had no other choice.

Whaa..??.

Anyway, I really like your tuts. Can we expect to see them regularly or are they winding down?

I'll do them till I can't think of anything else. These tuts are really designed
for the beginner, because I have to keep them short. On my website I plan on
doing more advanced tutorials once I get the membership up. I need more
photographers who are also interested in photoshop.

Also I'm looking for others to post their tutorials too. I know this can help you
stock photographers because I was a stock photographer too. I did alot of image
manipulation for microstock sites before I made the decission to break away.

You are doing great job , I watched some of your tutorials and I think there are more than just useful for not only beginners but also for intermediate users , especially cause you use some useful shortcuts , and your methods can save a lots of time to someone.

Wall I would just like to ad two more things , a question for you and and an one personal observation.

First I'm just curious why did you give up stock ?

And a second one , well did you ever consider to start singing , man , you got a great voice , you should sing blues . I used to play in a blues rock band and I have to say that I only wish we had a singer with your voice.

Peace

Wow! Roll on retirement!

Seriously, your tutorial are great. I've found them very helpful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have gained.

And it's inspirational, if you've retired and have only taken up photography 2 years ago, that you're developing all these new skills. So many people just go into gentle decline when they retire. I hope I can be as active and knowledgeable as you when the time comes. (Actually, it sounds as if you've found a new job ... working for yourself.)

Good on yer, mate.
