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!

I am not a car person, and I don't usually photograph cars
unless they are rusty and old. When I shop for a car, and the
salesman wants to lift the hood for me, I tell not to bother. I
assume there's something greasy under there that makes it
go, and they wouldn't sell me a car without that thing.

This Mustang grabbed my attention. With the first car that
I owned, I could stand inside the engine compartment between
the fender and the motor and work on it. This thing is jam-
packed with stuff, and I don't know what any of it is.

The Mustang must have been either a Cobra, or was heavily modified. Was this at a car show? The object in the center of the engine is a blower (power adder), which can take the horse power from 250 to 500 if properly installed and setup. I see alot of custom stuff has been installed, which makes me think they might race this one.

BTW...Nicely done Tony!

Yeah, a car at a very small car show...six or so cars in a mall parking
lot. Just happened to see this walking by.
