Introducing the 8th Tuts+ Site – Phototuts+

Natasha Postolovski on Aug 17th 2009 with 23 comments

Today we kicked off a huge week at Envato (it’s our 3rd birthday soon, don’t you know?) with the launch of Phototuts+, our 8th site in the Tuts+ Network. There we’ll be covering everything from beginner to advanced photography tips and techniques, post-processing, lighting and how to use your equipment with expertise. If you’ve ever wished you could take nicer photos, or to bump your nice photos into professional-level territory, Phototuts+ was created to help you!

Hit the jump to learn more about Phototuts+ and its editor, David Appleyard.

We’ll be publishing a combination of step-by-step written tutorials and screencasts/video lessons. In most weeks we’ll be publishing 2 – 3 high quality tutorials, so make sure to subscribe to the Phototuts+ RSS feed so you don’t miss a thing.

If you think you have the skills to create a screencast or text and image tutorial for Phototuts+, it’s easy to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and pitch your idea. We’re hungry for user contributions and pay great money for tutorials.

Meet the Editor, David Appleyard

David Appleyard currently edits Envato’s AppStorm blog, runs a successful design business and several other websites. David is also a passionate and skilled photographer, and in 2006 he founded a stock photography company with a partner. You can see a few of his photos in the Phototuts+ Flickr group, which, incidentally, you should also join!

I hope you guys have some tuts about cameras themselves, whats good to buy for a biginner, like whats good, and how using effects on cameras can produce effects in the end result! Sounds like another good edition to tuts+ group.

I’m agaisn’t PhotoTuts, but Net Tuts is big but not enough. Why not split it into different blogs: One for HTML/CSS/Jquery and the other for PHP/mysql ….
Again Net Tuts is not enough, especially those days I dont’ see lot of interesting tutorial (I’ll be submitting one though)

I think the current format of net tuts works well. Remember – most of the stuff on here is absolutely free. There are going to be days when a post doesn’t appeal to a particular individual.
You can’t please all the people all of the time.

which is why they have categories Omar…
Personally I think they have enough tutorials per week….it’s all great for free content…
Paid content on the other hand is just awesome….I’m planning to go for it soon….

Sweet! another tuts+ site…read the first HDR Photography tut there…It’s good…Never knew HDR images took so much work though and had so many layers….

Nice, how about video tuts? Tuts on videography, editing such as final cut or sony vegas, making a DVD…. Just a suggestion :-)

Ok, seriously, I don’t know if any Tuts+ higher-ups are reading this comment, but I (and many others I’m assuming) am dying for a CodeTuts+. Ideally this Codetuts+ would fill in the gaps that Nettuts+ leave out by teaching basic/intermediate/and advanced desktop programming. Hopefully this would range from anything like C, C++, Java, Python, Bash, and maybe even Objective C for those that want to learn to make iPhone apps. To reiterate, I, as well as many other, would kill for a Codetuts+, hopefully some of the tuts+ admins will look into this.

That would be awsome, I love the current sites and a CodeTuts would be definitely be a good addition to the tuts network. I would happily write regular java tuts.
