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!

It's great to be in London
London is one of my favourite cities. I love it so much, I visit from Germany at least 4 times a year. So, here are some of my photos from my London gallery. The full gallery can be found here: http://jcp.smugmug.com/Urban%20Scenics/280731

At the center of London can be found Trafalgar Square. Always full of life, it is particularly nice just as the sun sets.


The view from Waterloo Bridge with the London Eye and Thames. It is certainly worth the wait for a trip on the Eye.


Admiralty Arch and the Mall


The Tate Modern and Millenium Bridge.


London is packed with art galleries and museums, here is the National Gallery.


And finally another photo of the London Eye


And of cause, the London Underground. The largest and oldest metro network in the world.


Both photos from Baker Street Station.

Sweet, the Admiralty Arch and the first Underground shot are real eye grabbers.

I really enjoyed your photos and the perspective is unique.
I love London too, just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Very nice photos. London is a pretty cool place-- as long as you avoid the mashed peas and kidney pie !

Great pics, especially the underground shots with one person beneath each lit alcove

I live just down the road from central London, but hate the place (too busy, too many people, too little space etc) but you've inspired me to take a wander up there with a different eye.

What a wonderful journey, your images are stunning
I love the soft light you have capture in that very first image
The lighting in all those shots looks great
Your second shot almost looks like a painting.
The B&W's look great too, especially the two train station shots
I remember it was 1983 when I was there, and Big Ben was covered in scaffolding and being sand blasted at the time.

You've captures some beautiful images on this Journey,
glad you had a wonderful time, and thank you for sharing .... Skippy

Thanks to all for your kind comments! I woke up this morning thinking it was about time I popped over there again. Just a pity I am too busy for the next couple of months.

Oh well, instead I'll pop up a couple more photos.

Back to the Thames.


Relaxing in St. James Park.


Trafalgar Square and National Gallery.

This is a really great set of photos - you managed to make Trafalgar Square look, dare I say it, romantic!

i agree, the 2nd shot does look like a painting? would that be an HDR shot?

Hi p27rpy, no, it's not HDR. But I did use Photomatix on a single RAW image to increase the dynamic range of the photo. I then brought it into photoshop and used curves with some dodging and burning until I got the result shown. I do use HDR in other situations though, and you can see my HDR gallery here: http://jcp.smugmug.com/gallery/2407372
