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!

Columbia River HDR and pano
This was taken from a vantage point near Trail, BC looking left to the US border a few miles away and right to city of Trail, BC. This is a panoramic image of 6 separate shots with the 14-24 Nikon on the D800.

Awesome scene and details, Monte. Great job stitching. You could blow that puppy up to billboard size with that body/lens combo. Foreground corners couldn't be any sharper. Great job all the way around.

Thanks, I am still working on an image for final print. There are some spots on the centre that need to be healed and a bunch of litter in the grass that I didn't notice. I have a 24" wide printer and this will be a 24x72 image for one of my walls.
Getting them matted and framed is the big expense...geesh.

Nice, can you estimate the total angle on this image? Which way is the water flowing?

I love the sky! I would ditch the road though, it adds nothing, and pulls your eye all over the place. I would think of cropping on the right side of the tree on the right side, and at the top point of the grass triangle on the left. What do I know though, the road may be your favorite part

Yeah, although the road is an implied mirror of the curve in the river it seems to - because of the tonal difference - compete with the natural beauty in the center of the image.
Also, to my eye, the water seems to be going up-hill from right to left - less so with the road removed - that could be just the wide-angle POV, dunno.
Super Image!

This was a problem I had with the horizon. I can see it is out of proper position with my eye but my gear said otherwise. I was using a Arcatech levelling base and nodal rail to determine nodal point and all was set perfectly according to level and rail.

The river actually flows to the left. But the hill and road is very steep to the right and may be causing me the trouble. A simple crop adjustment will fix it but I would like to get these correct to begin with.

Your eye is often - arguably - your most important piece of "gear".

I'd have said it was the choice of projection during stitching that caused this.
