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!

Hey Charles,
That's great. Are you sure he's a cleaner? Could be a cat burglar.

Manila is a pretty scary place and I am usually impervious. Every restaurant and shop seems to have a "Check your Guns Here" sign and pistol grip shotguns & automatic weapons are a dime a dozen. There are lots of shots I simply did not take. One friend said her brother was a cop and I could have hired him as a body guard and I did not have a real conception of what she was talking about until I got there. There were a lot of street shots that I just did not take.

Just my two cents (if newbies can have two cents), I would crop the picture. You loose nothing essential cause you see part of the windows, and the man becomes what it should be: the focus of the portrait.
In order to make the shot more of a story, I would have taken him from further, and given him a context against the building as towards how high
he is hanging. Or just cropped to have him as main point of interest.
