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!

Butterfly eggs
You may remember the first shot of what I think are cabbage white butterfly eggs. I've been checking them everyday and there was a significant change the other morning.

Thanks for the comments everybody :)

Bob - Pretty certain they are one of the cabbage whites.

Phil - Not certain how long it would take them to pupate but don't they overwinter as pupa ?
I suspect it is too late anyway - Went to look at them yesterday and they had disappeared with what looked like a few carcasses on the leaf. Think they may have been got by a marauding wasp.
