hahahaha. You’re the 6th person to say that in the last 6 months.

When you bringing the 46 down here for some paint correction?

Just one of our downtown skyline that I took today.

Nice shot of the saddledome where you kicked our asses last Friday night…

Anyone?

I have one. Couldn’t tell you who makes it, and I don’t use it too terribly often. sorry.

I use tiffen and hoya filters. May not be the best, but for the money they get the job done

I have a circular polarizer but it’s a rarity when it comes out of the bag. The last time I used it though I had a killer blue sky at the wedding I was shooting.

I have a Hoya circular. It’s not a great picture, but this one was taken with it. The polarizer really helped the sky and ocean stand out.

Ive, unless it’s purely for removing strong reflection you can do a much better job yourself during PP than getting a cheap polarizer.
High quality polarizers are relatively expensive so you may wanna save that money for a good quality lens. Plus using a polarizer will make you lose light.

Thanks Babak, good point. But yes, that’s what I’d use it for mostly. I am no where near as good (or experienced) a post-processor as all you guys here or where I’d like to be which is why I rely (too often at times) on capturing the shot as best I can when it happens, sometimes at the expense of composition time. I guess this older, out-dated mentality goes back to when I used to shoot film SLR when I had no (easy) control of PP back then.

Thank you James, DA JeLLie, Regan and frozenrice also for your input. It is very much appreciated. :up:

You should always strive to get the best result at the time of the shot. That’s what photographers always (should) try for. Photoshop & Lightroom should be used to finalize the image, not spend time becoming a digital artist and ‘fixing’ images.

One from a bridal shoot last Saturday :

Very nice, as always. :bow:

I think you look more like Dexter.

Soooo jealous, I would -love- to check out Alaska. Nature lovers paradise…

A couple from the dad’s car…

Took off work and went to Buttonwillow Raceway yesterday for the finals of the Super Lap Battle time attack series. The night before, I bribed a friend of mine with beer and paninis and he let me use his Canon 1D MkIII and 70-200 f/2.8L.

Good lord. That thing is a fucking photo machine gun. My work came out awesome and I’m sure I’ll post some in the near future.

A couple of selections from the last couple of weeks :
