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!

Of the 3 I like #1, but imho it feels a little too calm.
A part of me wants/expects to see a young childs hand/arm grabbing and pulling at the cuff on the hand holding the phone or the alternate side by the knee. Just my 2c.

Gail I like #1. That background pulls at your attention but she does not look that frazzled in the shot if that is where you are going.

Gail, put something on a layer and add to the shot. Add your grandson/grandaughter sneaking up on her on a layer behind the shot ect.

Linda I took them down because there didn't seem to be much interest in them but if you want to see them I'll put them back up.

ahhhh life is good

I feel heavenly


I didn't expect my girlfriend was coming over and this were last minute ideas.
So anyway, I personally liked the first one best but it seems to need some umph.

Thanks

I like #1 also. I agree on the oomph. I like the background but it seems to distract me a little from the subject. Maybe darken it a little bit to keep the focus on the subject?

#1 is terrific. What might look kinda neat is if you can figure out a way to get an aura around her. But that's not necessary. I think it's nice 'as is'.
