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!

Did you manipulate the DoF in post? It looks strange, almost like it's tilt-shift.

I like it either way. It's just confusing me lol

Amazing composition, great lighting. If I were to nitpick I'd say the bride's face is in the shadow, so if you have another shot where her face is lit and they're both looking into the distance I think you'd have THE shot :)
One more question: it looks like you might have tilt-shifted in post-production. Is there a reason why the post & white line in front are in focus? You might want to blur that out as well so the eye goes to the couple without distractions?

From the look of the image and others in their portfolio, it is indeed a real TSE / PCE lens.

I found it to be kinda cool that your eye wanders around the frame looking at what else is in focus; the sunlight was more than enough to place emphasis on the couple when first viewing the image for me...

very nice - just blurring is confusing. Generally I dont like PhotoShop blurring - I mean blurring here is kinda messy ...

Great shot. I don't know if the tilt shift helps the photo, but the composition is great.

Hi - Not sure I so keen on the image myself. Finding it a bit frustrating to look at my eyes seem to dart around the image and not really knowing where to look .

This is a great shot that I think the photogs will try to deconstruct, but all the 'normal' people out there will love it. My eye keeps going to the in focus rope up front. I agree with Matt that the bright light makes the focus on the couple and hence my conclusion--the photogs will discuss t/s lenses and everyone else will say "wow, I want to buy it/hire you".
