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!

Thanks GrandmaR! Yes, he is a good boy and loves to jump. George's approval would certainly be something.

yeah, a challenge that I have photos for!

1. "mine!" (or "springs for legs"). That's my 16 yo son in goal.


2. "multi-tasking" (and I can't even walk and blow bubbles )


3. "in the zone" (my oldest at the cross country Jr Olympics a few years back - his best race ever!)

I don't shoot that much baseball, but in this case the parents liked it. I shot these for the winner of a fundraiser for my kids school, so I don't know if they would have bought it... but I know what you mean about awkward faces spoiling what otherwise would be a great shot!

Waiting for the band
My daughter plays in the band, but I know a lot more about football, so I get many more shots of the players than the band. Downside is I don't get halftime off.

1. Not going to end well


2. Ouch

Jack -

Your theme has attracted a bunch of great shots - good idea.

I don't have many examples, but here are two from watching an Under9 soccer game last year, coached by one of my buddies (a Liverpudlian, and a decent midfielder himself).

What I like about these are the kids' expressions, especially of those in the background.

Thanks.
