Also, remove many people from an image, that Photoshop Remove tool will not. You can learn how to remove unwanted objects or people from a crowded scene using Scripts to Stack your images in Photoshop. Although it may require some planning and several photos, the technique produces excellent results. Image Stack Mode is particularly beneficial for cleaning up crowded areas or removing unwanted objects moving through a scene. The algorithm analyzes all the photos and takes a statistical average, keeping identical areas and removing everything that changes between shots, such as cars and people. Using a tripod or holding your camera as steadily as possible is essential to get the best results. Wait at least 20 seconds between each shot to allow people and cars to move, and aim for 8 to 20 photos.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Landscape photography is my passion! It helps me to appreciate the beauty nature brings into my life a uniqueness in the world and the beauty that it brings into my life.

Light is both the photographer’s palette and brush. Harnessing available light is a skill learned through the study of technical theory and then applying it in the field. My goal as a photographer is to search out the images that interest me artistically, and upon finding the essence of a particular place. The use of composition and light enhance my images. Both the Old and New World have much to offer me as a photographer. From sunrise in Tuscany to sunset on Mackinac Island, there is much beauty in the world. All one has to do is look.

People always move too fast past those special places and capturing images with my camera has allowed me to stop and say I need to enjoy this light this place, I will catch up with you later. By teaching, I get to interact with others who want to take a moment and enjoy those special places as the light changes.
