Some time ago I was impressed with stunning water splash photos some photographers did. I saw flowers, birds, bulls, horses. I was curious how they actually did it? Now I know the answer:-)  Water splash butterfly As you can see at my Layer palette, I did many trials, errors, experimentation. See how many layers turned off:-) But for me it’s only one way to learn – error and trial, and trial again. This what we call experience:-) Continue reading How to do a water splash butterfly. Post production. I have been asked many times about the post production I do for a landscape photography. This post should answer some of the questions, as I’ll show you how and what I did on the images from our trip to Key West, FL. Below, I show you several screen shots so that you can see what adjustments I did in a RAW Converter for the particular image. You can’t simply apply these settings for your picture, as they may not work in your case, but you can see the idea and experiment with your own image by moving sliders and see the difference.
Continue reading Landscape photography. My post production. Finally we updated our old stock web site. Now there will be only a water and things related to a water. No children, animals, nature or architecture – only water. Water, water everywhere…. This site has a long history. So, we loaded all the different collections on the www.akelphoto.com, virtually everything we had: kids, landscapes, transportation etc. But quite fast we found that there is no way we can compete with monsters like Alamy, Getty, Corbis. Then, in few years, microstock agencies came into a play, and we finally understood that being very dedicated to a specific subject is the only way to get at least a small piece from the stock photography pie. The site was re-designed, improved and cleaned. Welcome to www.akelphoto.com
Stock images are licensed on a Royalty-Free basis*, we provide instant download right after a secure payment will be processed. I am sure there will be a lot of designers who would be happy to have access to our water stock collection, so please share the info. All the best, We are back from our small vacation. There was fabulous 3 days of relax in Georgia mountains. We lived in a beautiful house in Hiawassee, Lake Chatuge, Northeast Mountains, Georgia, USA (100 Miles North of Atlanta, GA). Thank you, Doug and Beckie Alex made some pictures of us and “Eye Candy” breathtaking mountain and lake views from the deck. All technical details you can read on Alex’s blog. Enjoy the photos:

It was not easy for Alex and me, because we are not a public people. But it was fun and gave us a great feeling that we did something useful:-) We are really enjoy every photo-session with water, because you never know exactly what will come up: every drop is unique:-) This is a very creative process with a lot of experiments.
