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!

Oh man... 1 vote out of the top 5, and I voted for the photo that got 5th. But whatever, I voted for that photo because it's damn good and deserved recognition. The top 5 were great, as soon as I saw Sapphire's photo in the gallery I just thought "well, that's a winner right there. I'll just hope for top five." I'm pretty new to this forum, but I gotta say I got some really nice and inspiring comments on my photo, so that just motivated me to come back even harder for round 73!

[My Internet connection has cut out so I am going to enter this (tediously) via iPhone.]

My heart is starting to calm down after the shock of seeing the winning photo. Thank you all! As some of you know, I captured this image during a long layover at O'Hare after a sleepless night and a latte. When I started to evaluate what I had captured, it was incredibly helpful to get input and encouragement from several dgrinners. This is a great group of photographers, and I look forward to continuing to learn and be inspired by you all. Thank you!

Congratulations to the other finalists for their amazing entries: Dnie's wishie, Kolibri's tangible angels, James Vernacotola's star trails, and PhotoMuse's clever take on this theme. There were so many great entries that I wholly expected to find another entry in first place!

Sean, thank you for moderating this thread and continuing to challenge us.
