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!

Mi Pulguita
"Mi Pulguita" is Spanish for "My Little Flea". It's what I used to call my daughter when she was little because she was such a tiny little thing. She's all grown up now.

Here is a shot of her from Saturday. Feedback always welcome:

Tu Pulguita es muy bonita! (hope I didn't butcher that as it's been a long time since I've used Spanish)

Really like this a lot. The soft light and its direction compliments the subject very well. The pose looks very casual and comfortable as well.

Minor complaint...

Don't like the sharpness of the leaves in the foreground on top just to the right of her head. Blur em!

Yo creo que Bryce se refiere a las que estan a la derecha de la foto, encima de su cabeza.

Beautiful girl, very nice picture, I really like it.

I have an SB-900 speedlight in a large shoot-through umbrella to camera left. Afternoon sun was to her back.
