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!

Question (and I apologize if this was covered and I missed it): Do the images have to be fresh (i.e., shot during the challenge period) or can they be older shots?

Looking forward to it!

This was a point of discussion for me and several others, and now I forget to put that in, LOL!

I added this to the rules:
The entries don't have to be fresh (taken during the actual challenge period) but if you want to challenge yourself come up with something specifically for this challenge.

Thanks!

You're welcome

I think that since People is such a busy forum and there are so many people that shoot mainly people around here, this could be a nice thing.

Lot's of fun
Judging: voting by all, on all the photos that have been entered. I'm going to keep the existing entry thread and add a poll to it for the remainder of the month

Great idea, Ivar. I love people photography. I was just wondering if it would be possible to dedicate a gallery on Smugmug to this challenge every round where people can upload their images to instead of posting them inside a thread ... just like the way Dgrin Challenges does. It is a lot easier to browse through the images that way. Pictures get lost inside threads.

Thanks for the suggestion It's possible, however I have chosen specifically not to go there for a variety of reasons. I wanted to keep it low maintenance. Reading instructions on how to post on SmugMug seems to be hard for some people (I've done the POTY thing for the last few years here with Smug galleries, and it amazes me every time how many people needed help). Voting is a lot easier this way, I can just add a poll to the existing thread. Some people don't want to put their photos on a different site, and the thread makes it a lot easier for people wanting to change their entry.

I would reccomend, then, re-posting small versions back in your original post when you add the poll, so all the photos are there for equal viewing without lots of clicking and scrolling. Just my two cents.

I believe photos should be BIG for viewing, sorry.

Ahh, just realized how clean you're keeping the entry thread, so nevermind my earlier comment. And thanks, again, for running it... it's a cool idea.

Yeah, it's entries only for now. After the deadline (soon!) i'll add a poll to that same thread, and then it's open for other comments. All the entries should be together near the top of the thread that way

I set it to 4 days this morning. The correct time/date for your location should be there, above the poll-choices
