Ten Photo-Editing Tips From a Pro by Rik Fairlie
But I don't have many tricks in my Lightroom photo-doctoring bag.
In fact, everything I was doing I had learned from a brief demonstration by Tyler Stableford, an outdoor sports and adventure photographer who uses Lightroom to make his photos just a bit more dazzling.

During the 1860s, several photographers based in Moscow and St. Petersburg produced series of cartes-de-visite showing Russian 'types.'
These remarkable portraits provide a fascinating record of working-class townspeople, artisans, street vendors and peasants, some staged performing an activity, such as drinking tea or gaming, and some photographed in the performance of their occupation.

The Photographs of Frederick H. Evans by Doug Stockdale
Evans was an active photographer from the early 1880's well into the 1930's.
Although his subjects ranged from portraits to the rural landscape and English country homes, he is best known for his poetic photographs of English and French Cathedrals.
Evan's aesthetic interpretations of these "great ecclesiastical sites" were praised by Alfred Stieglitz, who featured Evans photographs and writings in his journal Camera Work (issue #4, 1904) and exhibited Evans photographs at his "291" gallery in New York in 1906.

HOW TO - Take great photos of your projects
This tutorial by John De Cristofaro (johngineer) aims to teach you how to take photos of your hacks and projects for sharing on the web, and perhaps even in print.
It focuses on smaller items, less than 6"x6"x6" in size.
Bigger projects present their own unique problems that are beyond the scope of this article.
However, you can always "scale up" the methods presented here to take pictures of larger subjects, at least to a point.
