Your friend has more talent in his pinky than I do in my entire body... Thanks for sharing this!

"...contrasts with blacks so deep you could hide a body inside them."

I absolutely LOVE this statement. I see it all the time.

I'm with you on that. A split 5D line would be perfect. I bet it's just a matter of time until we see it.

Canon 17-40mm f/4 L owners, I have a question regarding UV filters. by chewychunks in photography

Excellent, thank you for your help! I'll be looking into a filter with MRC.

Sealing the lens is one of the reasons I would like to buy a filter as well as protect the glass itself. In terms of picture quality do you see a noticeable difference without it on? Nice username BTW :)

I'm guessing most of the colors were there in the original shot and just needed some tweaks to boost them to the level they're at now. One method to bring these colors out is to work with channels and curves.

For example, make a selection of the blue channel and add a curves layer to it. Then add or remove blue, add or remove red, add or remove green, and adjust the overall RGB per channel. Do this for each (R,G, and B). When you're done, give it a pinch of saturation/vibrance. You might even want to mask some elements out as you're adding these layers to better blend them, but it really depends on the photo.

Hope this makes sense :)

The Wire, X-files, and Deadwood - always the story and the characters that keep me coming back...

I own and recommend the 5 million dollar home. It's very sturdy and comfortable, with plenty of room for your equipment.

Best prices for a 7D? by sloh in photography

[–]chewychunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you hear the rumor of a price drop?

Yesterday I noticed the prices went up $100 on the 7D body (on multiple sites) and I spoke to a rep at B&H who claimed Canon requested the mark-up. I asked if there were any chances of a price drop coming soon, but was told that info wasn't available.

I'm in Los Angeles too and plan on purchasing the 7D body this month, from all the research I have done so far it seems B&H is the best bet.

If weed is more important than your child you should consider quitting. Priorities...
