Learn about motion graphics for video projects from +Seán Duggan 

Reshared post from +The Photoshop Show

Join your hosts +Jan Kabili and +Ron Clifford as we  learn how to create stunning visual effects and motion graphics for your video projects using a tool you already know and love. Adobe Photoshop Artist and Teacher Seán Duggan gives us a look into this magical world of mixing still and motion in amazing video composites.

He has also launched a great new +lynda.com video taking you in depth into this fantastic and creative process:http://bit.ly/1mRmCh3

I Love the Tall Seagulls

Posted on by

——————————————————–
I rarely get to see seagulls where I live, so I'm not an expert at identifying them… particularly from behind… but this bird seems a bit taller than those that I recall from my youth… but I suppose it could be the equivalent of an NBA player in the seagull family…or the long-term effects of all of the steroids that get dumped into our rivers? 

In any case, I was feeling kind of Blue Here on the edge of the water, waiting for something interesting when this Great tall seagull came along…

If there was a theme involving #seagullbuttsaturday  or even #seagullbuttshots , I might include those tags here… but I'm still not totally convinced that this is not one of those #seagullbuttsindisguise  

If there were a theme involving #seagullphotography , some of these people might (or might not) be involved…
