The Creative Art of Photography
The Creative Art of Photography
What's inside? Lots of stuff that I have written about on my blog, lots of techniques that I teach at my workshops, but mostly how and why I approach creative photography. Below in the table of contents you will see a section for in-camera blurs, this eBook does not cover everything that you need to know about blurs as I already wrote that book "A Guide to Creative Blurs" but it does give you ideas and helps to get you started.

After 24 hours, the link will expire. it is your responsibility to download the eBooks or files in a timely manner. Please be sure to download them and save them somewhere that you can retrieve them. It is too time consuming for me to send out eBooks to everyone. I appreciate your understanding, Denise.
