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!

6) You know, sometimes you find good photo opportunities in the strangest places. The above shots were taken across a very, very busy road under construction just outside of a Canadian town. (Keep your camera handy!)

It still never ceases to amaze me at how stupid people can be. This guy walked right up for a close-up shot with his cell phone. (BTW, I was across the road nestled safely down behind the guard-rail)
I was ready and waiting for a good Darwin shot that I could sell to a magazine

These are great shots, Randy, catching the rams in mid air.
I just got back from Yellowstone, where there was no shortage of people being stupid with animals.
After warning morons away from confrontations with angry bison, I, too, had thoughts about the alternate route of getting photo-documentation for this year's Darwin awards. But I was also worried that the justified attack by the bison might get the animal in trouble--namely getting put down for defending its calf against a clueless, instigating tourist.

Like they say, "there's no cure for stupid".

That said, I'm waiting for someone to point out my grizzly bear photos

Not brave for me. I was hunkered down behind the guard-rail.

Excellent Excellent shots. Great action and all I can say about Einstein there is that I don't think he will be collecting his old age pension :)

Would you mind sharing what Canadian town? I live near where these animals are abundant in Southeastern BC.
