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!

Store warranty for Canon 5d - worth it?
I finally (FINALLY) found a Canon 5D mk III kit for sale in these United States. I literally called/hounded every camera shop in New England (and several outside of our states) to no avail. Saw a mention on dpreview of all places of a store called Cardinal Camera in PA and called them immediately to find they have 1 kit and 2 bodies available (new stock). They seem great - talked to Mike at one of the stores who immediately texted the owner to put a hold on the kit for me.
Couple quick questions:
1. Anyone have experience with this store? They have 11 stores in PA and have been around since 1937 - great prices that I can see.

2. They offer (and this was the softest sell ever by the way) a store warranty on the camera body. 3 years for $500. Any damage inflicted by me (sand/sea/water/drop - didn't ask about lost/theft) and they will try to fix it and, if not fixable, replace it. Also will give me loaner 5D mk III while being fixed. Also get 2 free cleanings per year (though I get those with CPS).

Cost is actually less than a rider on home owners and no issues with meeting the deductible there. Actually seems like a not bad deal but wanted your thoughts.
I do shoot near/in the ocean and harbor but have done so with my 50D and have not had any issues. Granted that was a $1000 camera and this one is $3500...

Thanks in advance
