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!

Portland skyline
Just got back from a Mt. Hood - Portland - Mt Rainier - Seattle trip. I took a few of the Portland skyline overlooking the Willamette.

Wasn't quite sure of the crops. I could have pano cropped them all, but didn't want them to all look the same so I left a lot of the sky in the 2 shots during blue hour even though there is not much going on in the sky. Would love to know if they work, or if they should be cropped differently.

Very beautiful shots......
The blue-hour sky is great on it's own, but I agree with your instinct and think a little-bit off the top of 2 & 3 couldn't hurt. Also, to me, they look a little bit over-sat - but just a nit-pic amount.

I like 'em overall. #3 is my favorite with the boats in the foreground and that deep blue sky is especially pleasing. #1 doesn't really work for me; that bright red grass in the foreground is overpowering the shot. Overall, very nice!

Thanks for the feedback.

I am also torn with the first one. There were street lights behind me lighting up the grass. But I probably overcooked the processing a bit too, which didnt help.
