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!

I need your opinion. I almost like this shot, but don't. Any comments on possible improvements, cropping, PP are welcome.

I agree, Cristobal, this one gets well into the WTF territory. Other than perhaps a little overall lightening in the second one, I don't see much difference in these two renderings. Regardless, the shot really catches the eye and makes the viewer think. That makes it successful, in my opinion.

thanks Tom. Not sure what happened but the first one was right side up and the second one upside down, and now both are upside down...

I like it and it is interesting. If I were messing around with it I might try a 16x9 crop just to give a feeling of distance and flight. Plus, that little distraction in the bottom left would be gone which would kind of clean up the whole image a little. Nice photo. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe more ripples, but that's beyond light room, for sure.
