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!

Really wonderful stuff for this round, guys! As always, judging itself was a challenge. Sean and I agreed on 6 images, giving you all 14 to choose from. The top 5 from this round will be qualified to play in the currently running DSS Mega-Challenge #2.

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for including my image in the judging round! I am shocked.. but very excited! I'm like a little child, I had to call my husband right away "I made it to the judging round"! Anyway, to be included with all of these superb images is a great feeling. Congratulations to all of the finalists! And thank you to Emily and Sean. Emily, all that you do to keep these challenges moving in a positive direction is awesome! Good luck everyone!

Wow - thanks!! It was only by chance that I was able to photograph that silly tooth sculpture as I wound up doing some last-minute travelling during the challenge period. As always, the process of preparing an image for one of these challenges has taught me SO MUCH (I didn't even know what cross-processing WAS before messing with this shot), and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn by doing. Thanks for bearing with my fledgling efforts! And I will say that this experience has brought home the fact that if I'm going to keep doing this I *really* need something wider than 28mm...

Congrats to everybody - there were a LOT of really interesting images this round!

It's never easy to pick just one in these challenges given the high level of quality and creativity of the entries. This time it seemed even harder. Congratulations to all of the entrants and to the finalists. All I can say is WOW! Massively magnificent.

It's taken me all morning to cast a vote - I feel guilty for having to exclude images that I LOVED! (now I know how those casting agents feel when they have 5 equally qualified applicants and I won't take it so personally when they don't cast me!! Well, maybe ;)

Nicely done cmurph

After pondering on my top three from this round,
this was the one that won out for me, I thought the idea was unique,
loved it in B&W and I think it just had more of an emotional impact on me...Congrats!
