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!

Mantis
Just got a SB-800 and I've been playing with it. My son found this Praying Mantis so I thought I'd try and see if the new flash would make macro any easier...


Now I need to re-read Brian's flash how-tos. (And get a set of tubes.)

Thanks.

I sent a copy to the local drugstore to be printed in 5"x7" for my son. It actually looks nice with the contrasting color and the tighter crop. I think he'll be the primary customer for bug pictures.
