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!

I think I like the colored version better for this one. Hence #2.

They are all fun shots, and any of them would work. I like the one in color but think it might be stronger if the large cloud was further to the left to give more balance. I like the exposure in #3 and the diagonal line of the clouds in #1. Hard to say which might the strongest entry for this challengem but looking at them again and again, #3 looks good to me- for what it's worth. I like the visual interest of the details at the bottom of the frame, anchoring the shot.

I like #3 best. And I agree with sapphire73's reasons. I might like them better with more contrast.

I like the crop and the position of the clouds in #3 best.

However, I'l like to see more contrast too, or a color version.

2 tells the larger story for me, but 2 has the nice tight composition less some clouds I would like to see as in 2.

Thanks for the feedback folks, it is much appreciated.
I too wish there had been more contrast but I had to go with what I could.
We have had either rain or bright sunshine here for days.
When I took these it was around 84 degrees F and very bright.
To get any sort of movement I had a circular polariser & an ND 8 filter on.
Then I was losing the foreground so I added a soft graduated filter to even out the sky & land - the downside I lost contrast.
But that's the challenge.
