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!

CMRA - Motorcycle Race --- C&C
Visited Hallett Racetrack in Oklahoma last weekend with some fellow photogs from our local photog organization. Mission: shoot CMRA motorcycle road-races.

Whenever possible I tried working on my panning technique.
These guys (and gals) are fast. Panning can be a bit tricky but I think I captured a few worth keeping.

C&C always welcome (encouraged)

Hallett is a great track.

Numbers 3 and 4 I like quite a bit. Number 2 should never be shot with a shutter speed that high. 1/3000 a second? And holy smokes you look awfully close to the action there. 66mm focal length? I just have to ask, DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?

Number 1 has a nice composition to it.

Bill - Thanks for the input.

#2 - I agree, it was shot with my secondary camera. I walked down into that corner and decided to fire off a few but had my main camera set up with the 70-200 with a 1.7 tele on it so I reached for my second. I had my 24-70 on it and had it set to aperture priority at f/2.8. Since this was taken at high-noon, you know the result. But I liked it anyway.

Death-wish? No, I was behimd the safe-barrier ;-0

#1 - I like the comp also, and was hoping others would as well. Was trying to capture a bike or two in the background but never could get them in both locations at the same time. Maybe need to photoshop one in. lol

btw - I have raced my 350Z on Hallett several times. I love that track.

Here's one from 2004
