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!

My Aunt .. A Wonderful Lady
I am very blessed to have such a wonderful aunt that turned 90 this last week-end. Two weeks ago she made a trip from TX to came back home to visit family, friends and see the old house she grew up in .. it's still in the family, but up for sale We had a birthday party for her and I was able to grab this photo of just her. She's a fast moving, spunky lady still so grabbing a quick photo is exactly what I did

Howdy Mary,

That really turned out very nice, the Processing really added to the
already very nice portrait.

I am sure her Family will really enjoy this for years to come.

Hi Lauren ..

I just might send her a copy of this. My aunt is a true Texas Lady even tho she was born in ND She is the last member left on my Dad's side of the family in that generation. My Mom is the only spouse around now too. Any time we have is precious.

This little lady tho ... she's a wild one. Story is ... she was kicked out of a Lutheran College after getting caught hanging out the dorm window smoking My Dad said that was the quietest ride home when he and their Dad went to pick her up

She lives about 50/60 miles south of Dallas. We drove down last spring to visit her and my cousin. There are so many stories about her and her siblings. They were a wild bunch that grew up in a very small town in ND.
