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!

Taming a Southern hawker ?
Suspect the same Southern hawker dragonfly I'd seen before visited the garden yesterday, I watched it hunting for a while and it eventually hung up in a dried Euphorbia flowerhead. Rather fedup with the uninspiring background I decided to try and persuade the dragon to get onto my finger. Managed it but it took off again before I could take any photos. Repeated this process again, got it onto my finger again and it stayed there long enough for some photos before taking off again for a hunt. It actually came back again and hung up in the same plant whilst chewing on a ladybird.
