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!

This is a great setting in which to do street photography. But when doing it, I'd suggest shooting unobtrusively with a 50mm lens or a 35 or 28 so that you can give us a feeling of engagement with the subjects, rather than a feeling that you were photographically sniping them. There are lots of intriguing subjects here, but as they've been shot, I see them as types, rather than as people.

I agree with the way they appear, but I have found that it's really really hard to shoot unobtrusively with a 50mm (and I use my 50mm 90% of the time) because I feel like the subject ends up getting lost in the frame if I'm not close enough... and getting close enough feels like I'm stalking them! Is there maybe a mid-range that would work better? What about an 85mm?
