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!

Must be a leaf-cutter bee
First time I've managed to capture this on camera. I have watched leaf cutters in action on my camelias before but they are far too fast to catch in the act. This bee however was on a hollyhock leaf and appeared to be partially chewing the leaf and so was much slower. It eventually flew off with a gummy ball of leaf under it's head.
