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!

Hi, Carolyn

There's a link to how to post images in my signature.

As for the photo - WoW, now that's a way to make an enterance! I love the light coming up into her face. What was being used as a reflector? Some sort of paper or book or something? Doesn't really matter - it's just very nice light!

Oh, and the rest of the photograph don't suck either The background is so nicely OOF, there's not much problem with distracting background. I think I might darken the greenery in the background just a little bit and/or induce a subtle dark vignette. Nice.

Thanks Scott for the welcome and the kind words. Don't know what the sorce of light was on her face other then she was sitting aways from me and I liked the light...so it is truly straight out of the camera...shoot raw...with little twik.

Not Madeira Beach, FL. I live in the little Cincinnati suburb of Madeira, Ohio. I only wish we had a beach and ocean here.
