Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

I didn't make it into this one, couldn't really come up with an optical illusion, that wasn't just a PS job, and time was limited due to Christmas. Good luck everyone.

So sad I didn't have time to do one - I had an idea, but was swamped with concerts and holiday mayhem. Congrats to those who entered - this one was hard!!

I didn't have time to do the one I wanted to do because of the holidays. Today, while out with my daughter I found the perfect optical illusion just waiting to be photographed.......

So happy that some of you were able to enter something for the optical illusion challenge. With everyone home for the holidays, I've been focusing on family but enjoyed seeing what showed up in the gallery!

Wish I could have entered but with all the demands of the holidays I only had time to vote. Admittedly, I was also having a lot of difficulty finding or creating an illusion. Happy New Year, GP

Oh, the irony! I had decided, with all the lists of things I had to do, not to try to get an entry in this time, as I had no idea what to shoot, and don't know much about Photoshopping, and no time to play. So, wouldn't you know, as I sat down for a minute to rest from my holiday tasks with a glass of wine--VOILA! This shot magically appeared before my very eyes!

There were a number of really cool entries this time...thank you for voting for my picture. You made my day!

Congrats Kate! Your photo was one of my favorites! I loved it.

I'm so happy that I made it in the top 5 with you and the others. You all are such wonderful photographers and I made it. For that matter, this place is full of wonderful photographers and without all of the advice you all have given me along the way I wouldn't even be near this far along. Thanks everyone for your advice and encouragement!!
