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!

Cold Hotel yet Warm Love (crop invite)
I did not frame this properly and maybe should crop it down to a headshot. Anyone wanting to try cropping this?

It's a thought... I'll try a tighter crop later.

I like this crop better charles.. I would rotate it to the right a smidge, tilted slightly to me. Also now it's very grainy but maybe thats the look you are going for.

Your wish is my command... The grainy is from shooting at ISO 3200. I like the results of grain and sometimes slight motion blur from shooting in extremely bad light, but I recognise that a lot of those shots are not well received here

For you I applied a 2.3 pixel gausian blur and then faded it back to 70%. It leaves her face soft with much reduced grain.

Hey Charles!
Let me say that... dang, is that shot sexy!

I like both Steve's and your crop, they are really different, but both are pleasing! Nice work here!

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!
