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!

Nice. The large size does it more justice. It looks cold. Brush looks a tiny bit too saturated for my tastes, but hey, there's no accounting for taste.

Did you camp up there? The night we were there A) a lightning strike hit and burned a tree at the new visitors center, and it snowed above about 13,500, the next day driving home I could see more snow on White Mountain peak in August than we had Jan 2nd.

This was shot from the top of Watterson divide, the high point (7,500') on the Benton Crossing road that runs from just south of the Mammoth airport to Benton at the base of the Whites. It had rained all night. The snow you saw was still falling on the Whites behind me when I shot the cold sunrise.

I shot the view east at sunrise from this spot a couple of years ago:


This image has Montgomery Peak and Queen Mountain at the north end of the Whites on the center horizon. Summer sunrise looks a lot warmer when it isn't snowing on the Whites.

The view from this spot includes Glass Mountain to the north between the views of the Sierras to the west and the Whites to the east. Not a bad place to watch the sunrise or the sunset, but a little cold in winter.

The more saturated portions of the brush are the yellow flowers on rabbitbrush, I like them that way.

We have a "stretchy" feature on Dgrin that automatically resizes your photo to accommodate the user's browsing window. So there's no need to post smaller versions of your shots with links to larger ones. Most folks do not click on links and you're not doing your work justice by showing it so small in your post.

Actually, that 'stretchy' feature is a problem when trying to view dgrin on limited bandwidth, when people post huge images. For example, the British guy and his river panoramas from last week. Nice images, but they took a long time to load, ate up bandwidth, made scrolling very slow, and made it hard to navigate through his posts, when I tried to view them at home with standard internet access, or a computer with less memory, since the image loads first at the large size, and then is resized in the browser.

For largish images, I prefer it this way, so I have the choice to open the image at full size in a new window. Although, I admit the British guys panorama was an order of magnitude larger than Dale's image.
