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!

WOW, very good documentary photos!!

Dumb question time. In the first 2 pics, there are care that are snowed in and not moving. Is that one half of the freeway? It looks like it is.

I'm heading out there today now that I've dug my car out and removed the snow out of 1/2 a block of the alley. Plows don't hit the alleys right away, so had to do it myself. Now for some snow + blue skies!

Awesome shots.

While I enjoy that I never have to deal with any weather even close to that - it does make for some fantastic photo opportunities.

Hi Chi.P.S.! Interesting seeing your city perspective on our little snowflake party. Mirrors what I witnessed out this way only our burb didn't have 1,500 cars stranded on a single motorway like LSD had (Lake Shore Drive for you out-of-towners). Hadn't seen a detailed photo of that yet - only what I saw on the news helicopters. I got an unexpected "snow day" from work wednesday and instead walked around taking pictures myself.

Did you happen to see any dangerous falling ice or snow from buildings threatening people below?
