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!

It is, isn't it! Land, and his Polaroid, have their own probably unique moment in history; only time will tell how important that moment is. More than a few attempts were made to monumentalize Polaroid(s), but none seemed to break through, and, at the moment, polaroids seem to be mainly considered as along the lines of, "holy cow, how cool is that!" (kind of the way, I think, cell phone cameras are now considered).

RIP with grace and accolades.

On the other hand, I think NPR is one of the most vital links we have with the world around us.
