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!

Print Question
I just received a print finished on a .5 inch foam board of some type with a nice black finish on the edges. It is beautiful, thank you.

I have a question. There are 4 holes drilled on the back (about 3/8 inch) for hanging.

What do you use to attach them to the wall? Is there something available to make them secure?

I have several of of those mounted prints in the house. They are very nice.
For hanging, I use just a 4D nail. On the back, I did place a felt pad on each lower corner just to keep the print off the wall and help keep it straight.

As goes with all picture hanging, really depends on the surface you're mounting on and the weight of the picture. Check with the local frame shop or hardware store for hangers that are suitable for the wall type and weight of the picture.

Thanks for that info. I was concerned that there is no indent of any kind inside the hole, what keeps it from slipping off the nail?

The felt is a great idea BTW.
