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!

Talk about luck.
Talk about luck when you always have your camera with you.

I'm meeting a friend of mine at a local mall. I did not know that the 2012 Women's 10-Ball Championship Tournament is being held at the same mall where we are supposed to meet. The Elimination Round is just starting so I hurriedly took out my Nikon D70 and engaged my Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens to the body. Too bad I only bought my nifty fifty. I wish I also have my 80-200mm for some real close up shots. I immediately look for the event organizer and asked if I can take pictures even though I am not a legit photographer for the event. He said that it's fine as long as I don't cross over the red line. Awesome! Since the lighting is not that bright, I've set my camera to Aperture Priority, ISO 800, and I didn't go smaller than f/2.8. Hope you like what I got. Thanks for viewing! Sorry for posting these here. You all know that this section of DGrin is my home and I know that I can get honest C&C's from people frequently visiting this loc. Thanks again.

I got about 500 images with me and still processing them. LOL! How I wish I could have stayed longer but my friend came on time and we had to talk. I'm really glad I always bring my Nikon D70 with me. :)
