I've been on deviantART for a while now, and I got to say that it changed my things in my life. I don't see things the same way, it pushed me to do and learn many things, I met some great people... I just feel the community gave me a lot.

Well, after some years of taking, I feel ready to give back. That is why I began to do stock packs, and I got to say, the DD on my first stock pack was such a surprise it just encouraged me to do more. My experience in the community and as an artist makes me see what we need and how to do it, and I try to use my experience to help everyone in here. It's that simple, really.

I am here for a week and I have many things to upload before I leave, which will probably result by a mass upload. This is not how I usually do things, since I try to upload only once a week, but I will try to not upload everything the same day.

I leave for a two week trip to the U.S.A, from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, going to some natural parks and such. This will, of course, occur many pictures, especially since I just bought a 8Gb memory card and a polarizer filter. If you want anything specific that I may find in those areas, please tell me before I leave.

I also wish you happy holidays, if you have some, and congrats anyone who recently passed exams/got engaged/got married, or anything else that deserve some applause. Have fun.

Wikipedia: A polarizing filter, used both in color and black and white photography, can be used to darken overly light skies. Because the clouds are relatively unchanged, the contrast between the clouds and the sky is increased. Atmospheric haze and reflected sunlight are also reduced, and in color photographs overall color saturation is increased. A polarizer is ineffective if the camera's filmbay is not loaded correctly. Polarizers are often used to deal with situations involving reflections, such as those involving water or glass, including pictures taken through glass windows (this uses the phenomenon of Brewster's angle).

Probably one of the finest tutorial on deviantART, this book will cover the whole process of non-destructive editing, from the time you take your picture to the one when you save your .psd file. It gives you non-destructive explanations for every photoshop too, adjustment and filters. If you don't learn something from this, the author will pay you a one year subscription to deviantART.
