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!

Nice shot. Where I live, these are very shy birds, hard to get close to. The spray of water drops adds a great deal to the composition. I like it.

Very unique and quite pleasant.

The second shot is an A+...due to showing the whole bird.

I have been after this one for most the summer as well. Very skittish and have a wide comfort zone for humans. Like about 300 yards!
