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 was asked to photograph a political rally i am part of yesterday & these blokes were our escorts for the few mins we need a road closure. Nice blokes to.
The cop on the left doesn't look all that happy does he
The bikes look pretty neat, but they aren't much chop in the dirt

Nice shots there Gus... and speaking as a "bike fella" I can say that most of the time we don't get too bent out of shape about people taking our photos... seems to be a daily occurrence almost . I guess people must like our bikes

BTW... we're in the process of changing over to the new 1200 BM's at the moment. Unfortunately I got my new 1150 only about 6 months ago, so I've got another nine months or so before I get a new one again ... our department buys the bikes instead of leasing, so we don't get rid of them until they've done at least 90,000 k's.

Cheers,
Kenny

The guy on the left looks like Michael Schumacher:



The R1200RT-P is such a neat bike.
