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!

I don't remember giving you permission to work in my apartment. :)

Nice shot, nevertheless.

Another great image in your series.

However, it feels like a composite to me (if I'm wrong I'll sure feel dumb, but that's how it came across on first viewing!). There's something about the scale of the subjects to the table that feels slightly "off" (and I do see some artefacting/masking I think on the edge of the table right where they are standing); also, with all those windows, I feel like there should be more backlight behind them? Also, there's light on the nun's camera right hip, but none on the camera right side of the chair (or chair backrest) or rearmost rh table leg (look at the large turned carving at the top of the table leg). I'm sitting here trying to figure out if that could have been done with flagging and I suppose it could, but something is kind of confusing my eye....

In any case, that's tehcnical nit-picking - another great shot

You got it, two pictures in one... One on location "the guest room from Brett " and one studio shot.
Meanwhile I have worked on the shadows to make a bit better. But you spotted it.

Thanks for viewing
