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!

Hi....I really like the overall compositions. What will take these to the next level is selective lighting/focus and most of all color balance. Digital as you know is a bit different in latitude than film which requires those large digi files to get processed as there is too much information in them. The b&W's are a bit washed out (as in too much even areas of the photos) and could have more pizzaz with a better conversion (trust me, there are so many ways to do them).

Overall, you're off to a great start. Looking forward to seeing more.
