Photo Category May 14-22 - Transportation
Let's get out there and capture some images of different modes of transportation. It doesn't have to be just planes, trains, and automobiles. Make it interesting. A photo of a car or bike doesn't have to include the entire subject. Get creative! Interesting hub cab on that car? Shoot it! Let's see how many different types of transportation we can find. Now go for it!
Photo Category 'Transportation' Doing Well

Free Photoshop book
The Photoshop Anthology: 101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques
I can't speak to the quality of the book, but evidently this offer is sponsored by an organization that's trying to drum up business. It also looks like it might be more oriented towards web design than photo manipulation, but I leave that up to you to decide :)
They do ask for an email - but I have a solution for that - GetOneEmail (www.getonemail.com/index.php). It gives you an email address to use and once you get the email (you have to wait for it to arrive on that site) that address goes away.
It's a PDF download: view link

A slow rainy day at the shop
Nobody was out and about today, but I took my camera in
with me to the shop for a little practice. Plenty of
material! A couple of examples in the first reply.
