All I can say is WOW! This place is amazing. From the minute we left the airport, it’s some of the most amazing and craziest looking landscape I’ve ever seen. So I figured I’d give you a quick Day 1 Recap.

Hey there Plus peeps! Okay, I need your help. I’m heading on a photo trip with some friends tomorrow, and I want to include you guys as much as possible along the journey. So I’m looking for some ideas. Here’s the deal:

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that Hudson and his wife Stacey are the new and very proud parents of Pike Henry. Pike was born on Saturday February 20th, and mom/dad/and baby are all doing great. They may be a little sleep deprived right now, but we all know that goes away in 25-30 years 😉

Hey there and happy Friday! If you’ve followed the Plus member site over the last couple of weeks, you’ll know that Hudson and I did a reverse photo challenge where you challenge us to something. By overwhelming vote, the challenge was for Hudson and I to get out and shoot at noon. It could have been landscape, portrait, street scenes, whatever we wanted – but it had to be at noon and with minimal gear.

Earlier this week we hosted a live webcast/Q&A session where I edited a few of my photos, and anyone who joined in could ask questions live. Big thanks to all who joined in. We had almost 400 people which was awesome and some really great questions. But… for anyone that missed it, the video is right here so you can watch it (or re-watch it). Also, if you missed it but have any questions feel free to ask ’em Discussion area under the appropriate topic.
While we’re always generating content for Plus members, I couldn’t resist sharing this. This past week I came across two articles that I really wanted to share, because they relate to topics I hear about all the time.

(Note: Idea submissions have already happened. Now it’s time to vote. There’s an official poll with choices below)
Thanks so much for all of the fun and creative ideas for the reverse photo challenge I posted about the other day. In case you missed it, the idea is that you guys come up with a challenge for Hudson and I. Well, 150 of you answered. Thank you!!! I love the interaction that this community is bringing!

Happy Friday! We just posted the video from the live “Ask Matt Anything” video the other day. The topic was workflow and any questions you have about what apps to use and in what order. The questions were taken from the Event blog post, where I asked you to submit your questions ahead of time. I also went through and wrote the questions I covered below, and grabbed the general time-code for each question in the video (see questions below). So if there’s anything special you want to jump to, that should make it easier. Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! First off I wanted to give a HUGE thanks to all that participated in the Photo Challenge this past week. We had over 350 entries which is amazing. It shows that this community is here to play (or at least here to win some free $$) 🙂 But I do hope that, in addition to having the chance to win some $$, it also gave you the opportunity to look through your photos from 2015, and see where you’ve been over the last year.

A while back, I did a post on using the ON1 Effects Dynamic Contrast filter and some of the negative things that come along with it (and how to remove them). Well, in last week’s photo critique on of the images that came up had some extra contrast added in the background and I offered the photographer (Mark Coons) some advice on removing it (even though Mark didn’t really need to because the image was selling already) 🙂
