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!

Do you think the Anthurium looks like a silk flower?

I hadn't thought of that. I just thought it looked kind of satiny. I would like that photo better if the leaf on the right wasn't there. I find it distracting.

I added a 3rd choice at the bottom .... to compare next to the other two, but here it is in this post.

What do you think? Is #3 better than #1 and #2?

3. Anthurium Blossom (silk flower)

I like three, but I'd like some of the black cropped out.
