I found 'Color Confidence' to be vital in developing my digital photography workflow. Unlike traditional photography, digital photographers have added burdens of making sure that the captured colors are accurate in screen and print. After reading through till Chapter 5, I've decided to add these to my workflow in keywords terms:

1. 10megapixel size setting

2. Custom white balance, presets or RAW capture for maximum flexibility

3. sRGB color space

4. Capture One DSLR software

Searching for inspirations, I ran accross this DVD. It features photographers with great deal of passion and how they endeavoured to come up with great images that were published in the famous National Geographic magazine. Most inspiring was "Beneath the Sea" featuring David Doubilet.
Here's another Gnomon DVD 'must-have.' Designers, storyboard artists, hobbyists will benefit from this demonstration of Mark Goerner's technique. Also borrowed Carlos Huante's 'Creature Sketching and Design' but have nothing to say at the moment (I'm yet to watch it).
