Claus asked if he could post a short update and … Continue reading "Under the Moon – Revisiting Germany"

Have you ever noticed the specific trees, plants, and flowers used in each of Epcot’s World Showcase pavilions? They are specifically chosen to be true to that country’s landscape.

We’ll now take a closer look at what the poster effect does to images and it’s origin. Posterization has been a cool darkroom process for decades and decades.
