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!

Whiskey and a Bed
This is the historic Cosmopolitan Hotel in Old Town - San Diego.
It is said that - back in the day - a fair amount of "adult entertainment" took place in the upstairs rooms.

I love your PP work with this one, Eric. Excellent conversion. Very good composition and chosen perspective as well. This place looks like I could really enjoy spending some time there.

Thanks for your feedback and support Tom!
There is a very charming courtyard eatery inside where I'm sure they have lemons and fermented agave juice.

All processing done manually in LR3.

Thanks for the look Rags - appreciate it!

Thanks Tom! Come on down!.... You're already on the correct coast.
Although, I don't know why a person would ever leave your region - massive beauty and history up there - I hope to visit again someday.

Thanks for the kind feedback Randy - it's always good to understand when comps appeal to the eye of the viewer.
Shot with a Sigma 10-20mm @ 16mm, so processing included significant distortion correction to fix converging verticals.

I think the same could be said for all hotels and motels . Upstairs or downstairs,especially if there is alcohol involved.

Hi Juano! Thanks for the support - appreciated.
The best part was, after the shot, I went inside and had some killer shrimp tacos - most photo subjects don't give back like that!
BTW, if a person hasn't eaten Mexican Food in San Diego, you just ain't livin' - good salsa has changed my life!
