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!

Blackberry photo. Not sure why I like it, but I do.

Well, what can I say. It's my kind of picture too. Inner city. Textured wall. Graffiti (yes!!!), wheels.

What's not to like?

PS - On my screen it lacks some contrast - which I like to see in this type of shot. Given the computer I am working with at the moment, I can't say for sure that I would add some vibrance and perhaps some more clairity to this one, but I suspect that I would.

Thanks for the thumbs up, and yes, it's somewhat flat. I've already bumped it up some. Taking it up further loses detail I wanted to keep. I am constantly amazed of what I can get out of the Blackberry camera - which is vastly inferior to the latest iPhone's camera - but I am also often disappointed when I use it because I don't have a real camera with me, rather than when I use it by choice.

lol.... not one bit! Think of it as an endearing term.

...actually, I've been toying around with the idea of a scooter. I ride something a bit, uh.... bigger.

I have a serious case of BMW envy - though I don't know that I'd set out to cover 100K miles.

They're great bikes... I'm at 117K miles now on them. The yellow one in the slideshow just rolled 81K today.
