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!

Except for the white obstruction in the lower right corner of the frame, #2 works for me. I like the look into camera, the blue umbrella with the blue mural.

Welcome to the forum. I find this series to be very appealing. There's good subject selection and excellent overall presentation. Personally, I'm most excited to see that you have a strong propensity to record your scenes in color. I live in a world of color and photography that accentuates that reality resonates much more strongly with me.

That first shot is over-the-top good.... there's so many elements that draw you into the scene. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your visions of street life.

Excellent stuff! Love the first one, a feast of different scenes in one scene.

More please.....

Agree wholeheartedly. 1 is incredibly vibrant and a feast for the eyes. I do like the last one, because the balance is perfect between old and new, attentiveness and lack thereof, and eye contact vs. staring into the ground.

Certainly good to have you here.

Welcome! Great first posting, I really like #2, but agree the "blob is a little distracting, I'd crop it out. #1 is great observation of the diversity of city street life, & I really like the "omg" look you caught on the girl in #4.

Thanks much for the warm welcome and the constructive criticism. I agree on the white blob in #2, it's part of a truck. I fixed it.

Welcome to the forum! Good posting

#1 is great, a feast of color
#2 is by far my favorite, good composition, great use of color, her look

The rest are, at least to me, just people walking...

Thanks, Juano. That's what people usually do on a street, walking, but I see your point.
