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 have the canon tutorial which is interesting and useful, just using these weekly assignments as a motivation to put them to use. I find that I read the tutorial but fail to put them to use... I think because I read to much and forget it all. I want to pick one thing and focus on it.

Why is sunset better than any other time of the day?
Sunset is the easiest time of day to get a decent silhouette as the sun is low, hence more objects on the ground can be in a correct position between your lens and the light source. Sunrize is similar, but ususally more difficult to work with (for numerous reasons).
