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!

The posture is good, but the person is lost in the frame. If you have enough pixels, try a radical crop.

I have to disagree on this one.

This image works for me precisely because he is so small. Otherwise, it's just a person pushing a stroller :-)

The subject in the frame is too small to be of any importance. A little cropping it would make the subject more significant.

I hate to sound like a person that doesn't take criticism, but you are looking at a dinky JPG. This is an XPan neg, try imagine seeing it at 24x60 inches. That's how big I print it.

But I can of course crop it too:



I still like the original better though. It shows the struggle better, IMHO, but then again, I see it at 1920 pixels on my screen and 24x60" printed.

BTW, have you folks seen the book "On the Beach" by Richard Misbach? It's about 2 feet by 2 feet, and the human figure is about one inch or smaller in each photo. That's sort of my inspiration there too.
