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!

Exposure opinions
Would you say that this image is under exposed or just contrasty? I'm not sure what I think of it.

I used 3 speed lights to illuminate the cars, and a little pp to bring them up a bit. I often gauge how I feel about a photo from it's thumbnail, it gives an overall feel for the shot. These seem a little dark, but I don't know if that's really bad.

Then again, it could be my craptastic screen at work.

Opinions?

I would try a grad ND filter, the cars look good but the bright sky, try croping out half the sky.
