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!

I am THRILLED to see that the 3 which were on Aaron's list but not mine are three which were on my "near miss" list and that it really bothered me not to be able to include with a firm limit of 10. YEAH!

Congratulations to all of you - it was really, really, REALLY hard to choose!!

Ditto - I wasn't sure of the protocol of this so as it stands I commented only on my 10 selections and those other images which were on my shortlist, but like Aaron I'm happy to offer feedback for others if requested.
