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 tagged along with my husband on his fly fishing trip.

I could not get the sunrise/sunset I hoped (fish take prioroty ) so I did with what I had. I have a few more but this will get me started with your C&C which is welcomed.








Thanks for looking

You were so close to the Mecca of Landscape photography.

Did your husband stick to the shore or did you boat up the river?

Any shots of balancing rock there when you first go into the park area?

as far as the shots -

1. not a lot going on here- I am sure you were amazed by the colors but it doesn't quite come through in the shot. Utility lines are also distracting.

2. Better- could use a crop to eliminate the shadows of a railing and head at the bottom. Maybe some more contrast adjustment to enhance the shadow crevices of the rocks.

They're pretty, but #1 could use a bit more sky. The top of the peak is very close to making a tangent with the top of the frame and it's distracting to me.

Light isn't bad but could be a little better if you took some more time before or after fishing (depending on which it was )

We were in a boat and went on the upper Co. River.
Yep, got the Balancing Rocks.

The mountain is a crop from a larger picture that I took with our boat and truck so that is the reason for little or no sky. The wind was fierce and I just couldn't stand out in the blowing sand any longer, and it wasn't the 'magic hour' so...

We have been all around that area in the past just not with a camera.

More shots can be seen here: http://www.eikon.smugmug.com/gallery...Sc6z#273683807


Here is the original picture of the mountain uncropped, you can see my hsuband trying to hold his hat on due to the wind:
