Howdy John,

I strongly believe that If you want to take your photography to the next level, then knowing what to do AFTER the image is captured is absolutely critical (post-processing).

And I can help you - check out my website, blog, YouTube channel, & Meetup page.

Thanks again, and cheers,

John Watts :)

• The Cosmic Eye

This is a short 3 minute clip designed by astrophysicist Danail Obreschkow.

The video zooms through all well-known scales of the universe - from minuscule elementary particles out to the gigantic cosmic web - and then back.

Truly mind-blowing - make sure to watch it to the end!

• Judging at the San Diego County Fair 

Photo Contest

I’ve been judging at the Fair since 2003. I don’t say that to toot my own horn. I just want to give you a point of reference – I’ve “seen things” (not ghosts or dead people, haha). This post is based on observing what generally works, and, by extension, what generally doesn’t – – both in a professional AND contest environment.
