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!

Honey bees
Honey bees feeding on Lavender and Passion flowers. In both cases I slowed down the bees by putting some drops of dilute honey on the flowers.

Wow! - first thought. Second thought - I wonder if entomologists are interested in your shots? They are so good.

Thanks for the comments Ian, SG and Phil :)

Ian, oddly I've seen more honey bees in the garden than usual this year.

Phil - I do sometimes get asked to supply some photos for books on insects etc.

I'm not surprised your insect shots are in demand. They are excellent.
