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!

Conowingo Bald Eagles
My first trip was a bust. 12-15 Eagles and 30+ GBHs but no action. My second trip had about the same number of eagles but this time the slues were open and the eagles were feeding.

Here's a series of something that I've never seen. This eagle passed up a fish because (I assume) it was too big. You can see the fish in the last two frames.

Looks like your second trip was much more sucessful. You had good backgrounds for your captures. Eagles are a very tough exposure but the whites on the first too are a tad hot.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

Yea, all the whites are a "save". There's a couple more PS alterations in there too.
