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!

D300 too much of a "first" DSLR learning curve?
I'm just taking up digital photography as a hobby, I currently only have experience with point and shoots (panasonic TZ5) and a little bit of a D80 that I get to play with from time to time. I have taken a basic photography class and spend some weekends at the book store scouring through the digital photography books.

I have about 2k total to spend to get me started and have been through the never-ending D300 vs. D40 flamewar/debates.....I am leaning towards a D300 with 1 or 2 very good lenses.

My question is...am I making too big of a jump to get started with a D300? I'll be taking a class here or there when I can find them in NJ, as well as have a few photographer friends who shoot D3's. I hate to get something like a D80 only to want a D300 in a short time. But, it's a hobby and I'll never do it pro.

I know I know....every post is a D300 or D30 vs. 40D post.....and this is my first...sorry sorry..sorry.
