Introducing the 8th Tuts+ Site – Phototuts+
Aug 17th in News by Skellie
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.
Skellie is Tuts+ Manager. She makes sure all the Tuts+ sites are awesome. You can follow her/the Tuts+ Network on Twitter via @tutsplus.
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!

sounds great, always wanted to get involved in photography.
Can i make a suggestion, that you make the Plus Section online tutorials, and not just downloads, so that users can comment on the tutorials, and so that I don’t have to download everything obviously.

You probably know about it already

David “Appleyard” drives me absolutely crazy. He’s done a poor job with the AppStorm blog, and never bothers to listen to reader feedback. I unsubscribed from AppStorm for that reason, and I won’t be subscribing to this new site for the same reason.
It’s a shame, because I absolutely love all of the other Envato sites.
( )Andrea August 18th
I don’t follow AppStorm, so I cannot judge him.. so I will see, hope people learn from they mistakes..
( )David Appleyard August 19th
Hi John – Sorry to hear that you’re not happy with AppStorm. I’ve dropped you an email, so feel free to let me know your thoughts and comments about the site.
I’d love to hear what you’re not happy with and how you think the site could be improved!
( )Saro August 18th

( )Diego SA August 18th
What a surprise. I wasn’t expecting a new Envato’s son. This one definitely will be interesting!

(I posted this in nettuts+ comments, but I figured I would post it here too…)
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.
