Horror is one of the most popular styles of photo-manipulation and digital art, mainly due to the amount that is now possible with digital software such as Adobe Photoshop. Creating realistic blood is fairly simple, and can be achieved with little practice. For that reason, those that are experienced at this kind of thing, are really, and I mean incredibly good.

This showcase features 30 pieces of ridiculously freaky horror photo-manipulations. Not for the squeamish!

50mm lenses are the gem in most photographers tool kits. They provide great depth of field by allowing the aperture to open up really wide (most common apertures are 1.8 or 1.4) and pin sharp images that will leave your eyes sore staring at the details.

You can pick up a 50mm prime lens at pretty low price and it’s a great step in the right direction to give your photos that professional edge.

I’ve rounded up 31 brilliant examples of photos taken with a 50mm lens for your eye candy, enjoy!

If you thought photo manipulation couldn’t get any weirder, you were wrong! With the powers of Photoshop and other photo-editing applications, it is possible to merge two things together. Two things that are often put together are various species of animals, a dog and an eagle, for example. Weird, eh?

Part two of this post showcases a bunch of excellent animal photo-manipulations – get ready to experience tears of laughter, some of these are funny!

Tilt-shift photography is one of the most interesting perspective techniques used by photographers.

It uses extreme depths of field to trick the mind into making you think you’re looking at a miniature world which otherwise would be a plain old photograph.
