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!

BOOK: Window Seat by Julieanne Kost
Window Seat: The Art of Digital Photography and Creative Thinking

Book by Julieanne Kost, review by ian408


Julieanne Kost uses her shots from the window seat of an airplane as examples in a discussion of photography and the creative thought process.

Surprisingly, the book has more photographs than I would have thought. Many are of places I recognize from my own travels around the country in the window seat.

The author starts out with a list of things that contribute to the creative process. Such things as mastering the tools, being open to things that come your way and my favorite, sharing what you know and learning from others.

From there, we learn about the desire to be creative given the demands of travel and subsequently through the process of creating a book.

The appendix does give information on data management and some on editing in PS but otherwise, this is not a book that will teach you step-by-step how to be creative. I found it useful to contemplate some of the things in the first chapters as I looked at the photographs in the book (I would guess the book is maybe eighty five percent pictures).

I enjoyed the book. It's a quick read and you'll enjoy looking at the pictures as you think about the creative process.
