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!

Sobering Shot
I just ran across this shot from 9/11. It shows a man trapped on a burning floor of the WTC on 9/11. It's hard to see him, he's so small and the damage is so great.

Very sad photo.

Here's one of those pics I wish I'd taken. Another example from the Pulitzer prize winners' exhibits.

Fire retardant.

I don't see him. Can you point an arrow at him?

He's tiny. He's at the tip of the arrow. There's a small dark space, and then him. He's wearing tan slacks, and what might be a dark sweater. To the right of him is a white column that ends at about his head level. His head is at roughly the same parallel as the tip of the arrow. All of this is within 3 mm of the tip of the arrow.

I see him just fine. Maybe you need a LaCie 22" so you can see him too!
