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!

What a gorgeous place. I like the photograph very much. The horizon doesn't look straight to my eye, though. You might want to check that.

GREAT shot given you got stuck with a crumby clear sky day. Detail is very nice and your colors are rich without looking over saturated. I do agree with Cornflake on the horizon- it seems to be dipping to the right.

If you look at the horizon all the way to the right hand side of the image, then scroll the image up to use the top of your browser as a straight line, you'll find that the image is actually tilting slightly to the left, counter clockwise. The rest of the image appears to be tilting clockwise. What to do? Split the difference...

Thanks for looking and your observant input

Hey Aaron,

Thanks for taking the time to look and giving your input.

Please see my reply to Cornflake above about the horizon.

Thanks again for your comments

Now I understand and see what you mean. I struggle with that in our uneven terrain. Sometimes you split the difference, sometimes you go with what the brain seems to accept as straight.

Luckily this doesn't happen that often for me, so its not something I tend to sweat over when it does happen.

Thanks again for your detailed input
