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!

Art Morris used to talk about mounting a smaller ball head on a large, heavy baking tin or a metal pie plate to use for a ground tripod. Or just a 16 x 20 inch rectangle of 1/8th inch aluminum plate would work.

I never did that, but it certainly would be inexpensive and as low as you can get.

Shorter than a ground plane with a ball head, one shifts to bean bags or lead range bags I think.
