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!

Showing coming up...need some advice in choosing photos
Hope this is the correct forum for this question.

I have a showing coming up in the beginning of June. This will take place in Jamaica Plain, MA - a neighborhood in Boston - which hosts a "First Thursdays" exhibit. Basically, most of the businesses on the main street open their doors from 6-8pm on the first Thursday of the month and artists are chosen to display their work. The displays stay up for the month and can be sold.

I participated in one last year - which was my first showing - and sold a few prints. Enough to cover the costs of the prints and allow me to keep about 8 frames for use at home. I was planning on using these 8 frames now to display my best work. I am sticking to Boston and JP shots as I think these will go over better.

Here are my finalists and I would greatly appreciate any and all advice about which you prefer and any corrections that you feel need to be made before printing. Also, I had used WHCC for printing previously but was planning to go through smugmug this time. Any thoughts on true vs auto color?
Thanks a lot!!

1. Purple Sunset - a recent favorite


2. Blue Skyline - a submission for one of the Last Photographer Standing rounds and a favorite


3. Frozen - can't decide on this one


4. Night Falls on the Pond - ? not as strong as the next two


5. Silhouette


6. Swans in the Fog


7. The Lantern Festival - I like this one but wonder if it would sell at all. The lantern festival occurs before halloween and is a popular community event in JP.


8. Sailing - a favorite


9. Jamaica Pond in the Fall


10. Sailing Lessons


Below are ones I displayed last time. Will likely only display this one (sold 4 of them and have one already framed in my living room):


These I have as cards and thus can display them for immediate sale in that form and/or allow people to see them for buying at larger sizes.

Thanks for the comment Alex.
5 and 8 are in...haven't decided about 10 yet - waiting for the prints to come in for a final decision.
