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!

Here's three I've taken recently, each with a bit of a different feel-

1. Audi R18 Ultra exiting the Porshce Curves at this year's 24 Heures Du Mans


2. SL55 AMG outside Maison Blanche on 'Mad Friday' at this year's 24 Heures Du Mans


3. Porshce 911 (991) Carerra S by the sea in North Wales

It's definitely been a while since I've been on Dgrin...been busy with a new job and opening a new business, but I think I'm ready to come back cause I have missed the contests and friends.

I can't remember if I've used this one before, but here is my only car shot so far...

I don't really have any car shots worthy to compete with what has already been posted, but I have a few 'fun' shots that I'll share.

1. Coming to the Green--NASCAR race at Martinsville October '08


2. One for Jr Nation


3. Taking the caution flag--Nascar Truck Series


This was the only race I've ever been to, but it was fun. I don't think I have any other car shots.

Looks like you folks are doing a good job.
Keep them coming.

As I said when I started this, that I didn't have a lot of car shots.
I took a few shots over the weekend, here's one that I like.
A bit of post work done to it.

Taken with a point and shoot Canon.

Took these about 4 years ago with my Nikon D50 and the 18-55mm kit lens that came with it. All at the Greenwich Classic Cars show.



I liked the colors on these...

My mechanic and friend races on dirt tracks. Before the season opens, his garage gets his and his nephew's cars ready. The skins are thrown out- they're pretty much beat by the end of a season - and the cars are optimized before new ones are put on.



During a race



His nephew before a final heat (he won this one)



A friend of theirs experiencing fairly severe distress- had to rebuild the motor





A place where they have car auctions



One day on my way back from a dreaded 4-stop shopping trip and just wanted to get home but was delayed by an accident that had happened about 5 minutes before I got there. The chief here all but snorted fire when he told me I wasn't allowed to take pictures

Coming in a little bit late on this one since I was out of town. I pulled a couple that I already had up since I didn't get a chance to go out shooting. As always, any ideas/feedback is appreciated!

BMW CCA Autocross - The Porsche Club joined us for this one.



Maple Acres Farm - Not technically a car so if it doesn't qualify let me know and maybe I can put up another one tonight.


British Virgin Islands - I was going through a phase where I was going a bit over the top on editing but I still enjoy the look of this one.

Hey Dave -

Thanks for running the show (yet again!) and for setting the bar so high - even though there are so many contributions that have already leapt to the same height.

Great stuff from everyone!

I have one semi-decent car shot, and I'll throw in two others, realizing that the third is only "car-related".

Here goes:

1. Pink Cadillac (D70 with its superb 18-70 kit lens):



2. Motoring toward the Beartooth Highway (D70 with the 17-35 f/2.8, I think):



3. A *very* talented driver (D300 with the 300 f/4):

Another MIni is in the books.

I'll try to have the results up some time tonight.

One parting shot, I took this today of my Niece behind the wheel of my car.
We were kind of trying for an American Graffiti look.
