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 really like these - despite my arachnophobia - especially with her 'posing' on a colourful background like that.

Awesome! Do many species of spiders carry their offspring on their back?

AFAIK just wolf spiders do this but they are a very widespread gound spider family. Other spiders may well stay with the egg sac and then guard the young when they hatch for a period.

Thanks Phil, that's one thing I try to do - keep up with the shots but a lot easier when you are retired :). I find they sort of lose context if I don't process them fairly quickly

These are amazing photos! Remember that wolf spider I caught a few weeks ago? The little gal made an egg a week ago, it should hatch soon!

I still need to get one of those MPE lenses, perhaps next year! :)
Thanks for sharing.
