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!

Looks like those eggs and peppers (jalapenos?) have been in the jar since 1924!

Interesting shot. A bit too busy past the jar.

The motion blur ruins it for me. It took a moment to figure out that the lower hand was holding a paper towel or napkin or something like that with some stuff from the jar in it. The upper hand is almost out of the picture and doesn't connect visually to the jar. I agree with Don that the background is distractingly busy; shallower DOF might have helped.
