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!

Holy cow!!!

This is one of the only hummer shots, I've ever seen, where the wings look totally motionless. Really good job Jeff He's a little UE. Next time you might want to add +2/3 to +1 1/3 of EV Compensation. It might have resulted in blown out flower highlights, but the hummer would have been exposed better.

Still, as I wrote above, a very good job indeed


Thanks for sharing,
Steve
