Overexpose for a Beautiful Surprise

Most people think that overexposing a photo is its death. Not so, says Mr. Digital Art Photography for Dummies.

If you put your camera in Tv mode, set the shutter speed to anything from a quarter to one second and snap the picture in a very shady place, you'll have an art piece.

If the image turns out too bright, just tweak the levels (Image>Adjustments>Levels, slide outside sliders inward and inside slider to the crest of the histogram) in Photoshop, and you'll have a perfect impressionistic picture for your home or office.
