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!

SId - go through the PGA for quicker resolution

and while you're at it CC the photographer's guild. I'm sure they would just LOVE to learn a producer may be stealing images for uncredited use... http://www.ia669.com/

I agree, the photo posted here is not Sids, too many differences. Sids is better too. Some of the differences I noticed were, signs, building lights, angle seemed lower....I don't think PS could change all that.

I also looked at the credits, they credit the still photos to many, many people. If that is your shot it's also possible someone else gave them permission and passed it off as thier own.

Edit: Here is the image:

Nice job, mate.

It's not my image.

That's embarassing! I apologize to those I slighted in this thread. Dang thing had me going. It's also similar to another image I took, but the angle's different.

I'll shut up now.

The good news is that all of those similar looking photos totally suck when compared to yours.

No, thousands of similar shots have not been taken.

And no, asserting it's my image is not a big call. Why on earth would you think it is?
You would have to compare the lights that are on in the buildings.

Now that my embarassing error has been made clear...

... it wouldn't bother me at all if this thread were to die.

Really. Cross my heart and hope to die (of something other than embarassment.)

Lol - Sid I'll buy you a beer. We all make mistakes ... and the fact that you shot your image through a hole in the wall adds credence that it wasn't a "stock" shot ... then again as a person that has never made a mistake in my life ... you can always come back under a different handle... lol

Quite so. But you were stating the image was yours. Is that still your view?

You posted here seeking comment. I didn't detect any feedback that was offered other than to develop the topic you started, in an attempt to assist you. That was certainly my approach.

You've generated a lot of views and suggestions. What do you plan to do now?

You're one of the guys I was apologizing to.

If you follow the thread, you'll see that your suspicions were correct and that I was wrong: the shot isn't mine.

So I plan to sit here in embarassed silence and hope this stupid thread dies.
