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!

Congratulations! You should be stoked!!
I like #1 and #4 - clean and captured peak action. #4 works great with player in mid-air and plenty of determination on his face.
#1 is a moment in the balance - will he break free or will the tackle stick.
Nice set.

I like all four of these. The action being captured is exciting and well done. If I really had to pick, I would say #1 and #2. This is for very small reasons against #3 and #4, though....in #3 no one is facing you directly in the way that they are in #1 and #2. It's a small detail, but I'm all about the faces in sports photos. in #4, The emptiness of the stands in the background take away from the excitement of the game. The action itself is great, and I know there's nothing you can do about the background, so it's nothing on you just a personal thing.

Overall, very exciting set of photos. You definitely deserve that cover, as well!

-Hank
