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!

Shawn,
These are absolutely fantastic!
I so wish you could find the couple--they would kill for these photos--
What a beautiful shot with the sun going down and the couple in silhouette. Outstanding.

That's fantastic, you have to find the couple. That moment is priceless. This is a competition winner for sure!

Call a local radio station for help in finding them...

They want to write a story, hopefully the couple will be found.
That's great news and congrats on the publicity! Very well deserved.
