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!

Black and white photographs for my site!
I'm up to start the construction of my own website, and I was looking through all the stuff I have shooted for the past 2 o 3 months, and more... I really don't know the dates of all my pictures , anyway, I need to know if you would like to see this black and white pictures in a site, they're pretty simple, but I guess it's only a matter of time to improve myself

Thanks for reading and for the feedback, which ones would you prefer? Which ones you liked? which ones you didn't like? Thank you

Hi Byron,

It's all a matter of taste, B&W are often more dramatic than shots in colour.
Everyone has a style of photography and you do as well.
Now either people are going to like your "Style" or they are not.

Just a word of advice, if your going to put images up on your site, don't do what you do here with your headings, they are wayyyyyy too long.

Keep your headings short and simple.

The images will speak for themselves..... all the best for your new adventure Byron, don't forget to post a link so we can all visit

..... Skippy

Thank you Skippy, I know my "style" (which I don't think I have) is not going to be good to everybody, but I was talking about the pictures themselves, about which one you might find "good" and the ones you don't like, it's just to clear my mind a little bit, that's all, I need opinions on the pictures, and of course I would thank the feedback

About the heading, I don't understand that, hahaha.

And yes, my site it's going to be pretty simple, I would show it to you in some days, and my site is not going to be just black and white, and I need to finish a lot more conversion, this is just to see how it goes for the ones I already have.

Thanks for the recomendations on the headings, if I guess what it is what you tried to tell me hehehe, sorry, and I will be waiting for the other comments, thank you

Oooooooh I see I see, ok, thanks, see I already changed it , thanks for the info, and no, my site is all about images, no words at all, not even letters I guess.

No feedback? :( No favourites? :(

Ok I'll wait a little longer!

I like Number 2. Great shot.

#3, I think you need to get a little tighter or a little farther away. Both lips should be in the shot. IMO.

#6, I like it, good use of the available light.

#7, The lighting is just to harsh, looks like he's wearing an eye patch.

#8, the composition is good, but I think for this kind of shot you may have added a bit to much grain. You've lost almost all detail by doing this.

#11, This could be a fantastic shot if the skateboarder wasn't backlight so much. Maybe a different time of day. But his form, all the eyes on him, where he came from, where he's going, it's all there.

#13, I think I would have made this into a vertical shot, and tried to get rid of the huge shadow on the left. Once again, I think the face is a bit to dark.

Lighting is the toughest part of taking photos. It's there, or it isn't.
A couple of your shots I think could have been better with the use of a fill flash.

Good luck on the site.
