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!

Laughing kodak potd - birthday gift
wow - i just got some email from kodak, they've chosen another of my pics for a potd



this is my wife, listening to sting of course ... look at her expresion

anyhow, the very cool thing is that the editors at kodak.com emailed me and asked "when is your wife's birthday?" i told them, december 14. the emailed me back, saying okay, her pic is going up dec 14th now how cool is that? i just ordered some broadway show tickets, we'll do a little dinner at a fancy place i know of, and i think i'll arrange for an overnight sitter and maybe we'll stay at the waldorf or the plaza for the night too

enjoy (making your spouse deleriously happy) photography,

Fantastic and congrats, Andy! Your wife is beautiful, and you captured her expression beautifully. I love the black and white on it, too.

That will be so exciting on her birthday. Are you going to be able to keep it a secret that long, or will she know, does she know already?

A wonderful photograph!

Andy, Lynn, did he color his hair, too? Andy, you must keep those roots up.

I love that laughing smiley! Thanks for the chance to use it.

OK, Andy, are you feeling better? (If you ever get your hair done, do it professionally and go in for "root" touch ups, LOL)

ginger

Still a really great shot of your wife!! Now for the roots..........???

isn't it terrible, with 4 kids, job, travel, etc that i have to make a plan 3 months out to seduce my wife. and that i need kodak to help!

I have seen whole television shows on that subject. Lots of people are not getting lucky, not like they used to. smile.

Don't plan too much for that evening, you all are going to be exhausted when you get home. Kind of like expecting to get lucky on your wedding night!
(I don't know many who have:roll )

OK, on to the root canal............. At least the root canals should be over with by next year at this time. I can't imagine having that many teeth.

Good luck, you were even sounding happier, etc.

Awesome, congratulations! And good luck with your "plans", too. I myself have enough trouble planning that sort of thing a day ahead, let alone 3 months. And I only have 2 kids!

I'm really interested in figuring out some of the behind-the-scenes processes that go into making a great shot, I was wondering if you could post the original? There's a certain "something" that takes a good shot and elevates it, and I'm trying to get my head around it...

Hmmm, do you think I could get lucky if I take a really good picture of my husband, and win a contest? Maybe if I win a contest with a picture of Red? He'd like that. Red's really his dog. I think I'd have a better chance of winning with a photo of Red. Yes, I'll start planning it now.

i doubt if you walked in *right now* on your husband and said "honey, let's ....." i doubt if he'd say no. seriously. give that a try and report back
