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!

Jewel Beetle
Hi, it is the wildflower season over here in Western Australia - making good use of it was this Jewel Beetle.



Thanks for looking. C&C always appreciated.

Cheers, Richard.

Hi Ian, Brian and Predrag, thank you all for taking a look and your positive feedback, it's much appreciated. I believe this bug is a Roe's Jewel Beetle.

Cheers, Richard.

Hi Phil, glad you liked the shot. Have a look at 'Buprestidae' on the net to see the range of colours that these beetles come in - unfortunately some are 'pests'.

Cheers, Richard
