Kee, the lead of The Photo Institute, has just launched a new project on Koinup:

The Second Night Project!

If you have photos with "Moonlight and stars, dark urban streets, creepy graveyards, back country roads awash in tints of blue and grey" .... Please add to these photos (and videos) the following tag:  

secondnightproject

All the entries will be visible here!

If you have already works on Koinup, taken at night, please add to them the appropriate tag...
Otherwise  jump in world, maybe find some inspiration here in the Most Recent Places Discovered by the Community

and have fun with your Windlight

dear friends, I wanna direct your attentions to some excellent photoshop tutorials created by our common friend Ji_Dallagio

I think you should have a look at them, because most probably they will help you a lot

First Tutorial: Working on Layers
http://www.koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55124/as-list/

Second Tutorial: Blending and changing colors
http://www.koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55340/as-list/

Third Tutorial: Extract Images from their currect backgrounds
http://www.koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55480/as-list/

Thanks Ji!
These tutorials are not about Second Life or some other worlds, but are about Photoshop and Postprocessing, so I think that most of you can be really interested!

I invite other members to share their tecniques and create tutorials using the storyboard tool! I'll give to each tutorial the maximum of visibility in order to help the whole community! Enjoy Koinup!
