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!

Kata R-103 Backpack

Review by USAIR.


Been using the Kata R-103 for about 4 months now and figured I give my impressions on this backpack.

The bag is about 17" high 13" wide 6" thick and almost 4lbs
The bag is very well made very strong and sturdy design.
It actually takes sometime to break in the bag very stiff when you first get it.
I holds almost everything I need to.

First photo shows the tripod holder and the two small outside storage pockets.



Also has room for a laptop here's my small 12" Vaio.



Side view showing laptop pocket...I put my flash bracket in there when not carring the computer.



Back view
I haven't taken this on a real long hike but around town it's nice.
It didn't come with a waistbelt it's another part of system.



Here's a neat little feature separate access to the camera



Here's what inside
Upper lid




Lower compartments



The backpack is just one part of the Kata system
There's a Torso Pack and a Waist Pack

Well hope this helped someone looking for a backpack.

Will this be my last bag...no I can't seem to get enough bags and stuff to put in them.
