Yes, this seemed counterintuitive to us too but it’s actually pretty clever. Photographer Pierre T. Lambert, who we have featured on Shutterbug.com many times, has a neat trick that will help you capture unique photos: put something in front of your lens.

Shutterbug
contributor and Digital Outback Photo web site creator Uwe Steinmuller has just
released his newest e-book: "The Art of RAW Conversion, Optimal image quality
from Photoshop CS2 and leading RAW converters". This e-book covers all angles
of RAW conversion based on a real-world experience. Also, topics like color management,
DNG and B&W are covered. The RAW converters featured are Camera Raw 3.x, RawShooter,
Canon DPP, Capture One, Nikon Capture and Bibble 4.x. The e-book helps explain
all aspects of the RAW workflow and features an introduction to DNG, color management
and black and white conversions using RAW conversion. In it you will find how
to perfect images by removing image artifacts like: Noise, Chromatic Aberrations,
Lens Distortions, dust and sharpening, as well as upsizing, dark/light halo and
edge mask sharpening. The workflow of RAW is also thoroughly explained. All techniques
are based on the author's real world experiences as a fine art photographer.

The e-book contains 290 pages and is available as a downloadable PDF for $39.95.
