    I’m sorry, don’t want to be too cranky, but if the articles are already in the magazine what is the point of reposting them here?

      So that subscribers who are searching for things on the website can find articles and videos on related topics without having to go through issues. We’d like to think it’s easier in the long run. ;)

      Right now, all subscribers get access to the magazine and the website, but we’ve had an increasing number of people who would like just a subscription to the website, without the cost of mailing a magazine. Having the articles would help them too.

      best,
      Rick

    Is it possible to give PET as a gift subscription? What a fantastic gift!

    I appreciate the fact that you are reposting. It reminds me of techniques that Ii have forgotten.
    Also interests change. I
    I may not have been particularly interested in an idea a year ago, but now due to increased skill level I might be fascinated.

    Can’t wait to try this. Don’t really understand how you can capture the whole image along with the bokeh
    effect on the lights through the small cut out shape. Love what it does to the lights!

    I have tried to recreate this effect with my Christmas tree, but must be doing something wrong. I followed the steps in the tutorial, and although I do see the bokeh light shapes in my photo, the shot turns out in the same shape I chose and miniscule. What am I doing wrong?
