PictureCorrect.com: How to Fake Shadows in Photoshop
In a perfect world, we’d always have whatever elements we neededfor a shot ready at hand. But as the world’s rarely perfect, there might come a time when you’d like to add a bit of interest and/or atmosphere to your pictures. In the video below, photographer Glyn Dewis shows us a simple technique for adding shadows to any photo’s background:
Dewis begins with an out-of-camera shot that he took with this project in mind. He uses a simple gray background and makes sure that the lighting provides some type of shadow, so that there’s a bit of drama and interest already happening.

He does this by simply selecting the Custom Shape Tool, choosing the grid preset, and adding it to a separate layer. He then adds to it, blurs it, and blends it in to just the right opacity:

magnetic termite mound by christoph-schaarschmidt (http://ift.tt/1N1g0KQ)
Photographing stars you usually need a compass - but not in the Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory/Australia. Some termites here somehow managed to use the magnetic field of our earth to build this unique kind of mounds, which are alligned from north to south. They look like flat tombstones, but their secret is that the sun warms up the eastern side first after cold nights, while the midday sun only reaches a small part of it directly - so it never gets too hot inside. via 500px http://ift.tt/1PTRBK5
