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!

DSS#102 - Options for C&C
Been so busy past couple of weeks, wasn't sure I'd get to this challenge... but, I found some time today to shoot. Would appreciate feedback on these options...

1. Sweet Scents


2. Whispering Air


3. California Spring Poppies


4. The Budding Boughs

I like #1 the best. The echo of the flower in the BG appeals to me.

I like the idea of #2. Maybe a different angle? The OOF area in the foreground detracts for me.

I love California poppies, but my eye wanders a bit looking for a focal point. Maybe a reshoot with one in the FG in focus and that wonderful field of mixed flowers OOF in the BG.

In #4, there is a loss of detail that I find troublesome.

All evoke springtime.

i would go with number 2 - all the flowers are fantastic shots, but there are already about a million flowers entered - i would go with the more unique shot :)

I entered #1 yesterday... but I did think about that... there are a lot of flowers in the gallery. I may change it before the deadline...
