Free lighting effects brushes

Graphics.com's running a Philter Phrenzy contest, and has a link I'd like to share with all Photoshoppists.

Obsidian Dawn offers these brushes for free:

Obsidian Dawn Light Beam Brushes

...they come in a lot of styles. Welles, you'd appreciate the light shafts from above the ocean series! Here's what the cross star brushes look like; by the way, I can't find a really good cross-star filter for love or money online.

My Best,

Boy are you right, Gare. Stephanie's brushes are great. I just sent an email to purchase 5 sets including the light beams. That way I don't have to remember to give her credit and at $3 a set there is great value in the purchase. Great tip.

Speaking of wonderful lighting, Gare, here's one of my favorite pictures. A brief history in the description of the photographer is, "Once a year, the Light Station at Pigeon Point near San Francisco, California, USA is lit as it was over 100 years ago. During this time, light generated by five kerosene lamps pours through 24 rotating Fresnel lenses, warning approaching ships to stay away. Early last week, light emanating from the Pigeon Point Lighthouse was particularly picturesque because of a thin fog, also blurring the distant Moon."

That's a wonderful photo, Welles! Thanks for sharing!

And I guess the rest of us photographic wannabees will have to post-edit our lighthouse pictures with these Photoshop brushes!

My Best,

Gare
