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!

I see 'em on sale at www.fredmiranda.com all the time. Hang around for a week or two and you should see one.

Speaking of the 17-40/4L, how does it compare to the 16-35/2.8L? The focal ranges are nearly identical. One just happens to be one stop faster, and more pricey. How do they compare image-wise?

A review, quite favorable.

I've got a 17-40, and while it's a very nice lens, mine could be a bit sharper (and one stop faster). I haven't really tried it out with the 20D yet...this opinion is based on it's performance with a 10D.
