Rob Oresteen Photography

I had the privilege of using design|house “Straight Punch” actions on my last wedding. It popped almost every image and worked seamlessly into my work flow. It was so easy to dial it in. Needless to say the bride was thrilled with her images. I’m sold on design house. And that was just one of the actions.

Andy Armstrong is a rising star in the Photoshop post-processing world. The bar is raised.

design|house by Andy Armstrong is a collection of Photoshop actions, brushes, custom shapes, and styles, as well as hi-res backgrounds, wallpapers, textures, digital mats, and photo objects. He’s also recently released a set of greeting card templates and magazine cover templates for modern photographers. If you get a chance, go check it out. You can see design|house at http://www.getdesignhouse.com. There’s a whole bunch of video tutorials in the d|h learning center too.

Shoot With Beckstead in South Dakota will be hosted by Cory Anne Ellis May 19-20 in Brookings, South Dakota. NoBS member Michelle Rudland will be attending the event. Hope it goes well Michelle and be sure to post your pics.

Larry Peters taught at this year’s “Texas School” at Texas A&M college. I just got off the phone with fellow photographer and Texas Diva of Wedding & Family Photography, herself, Chasity Blackwell. She had nothing but praise for Larry and his ability to light.

Chasity says his hi-key stuff is off (insert sweet Texas drawl here) “the chain”!

Check them both out…
