For video guys, the Zacuto Z-Finder (and stabilizer) is a bit a of giveaway that he's most likely shooting video.

Thank you Scott for offering this. You're like the photographic equivalent of a corner drug dealer... giving out a freebie to create an addiction. You're a somewhat-evil genius.

Once again... thanks.

As somebody who edits video for a living, I always enjoy seeing Tim's song choices paired with visuals. Perhaps I've missed if he's used it... but I've always felt that Wintersleep's Orca would be a great playoff montage song for a Canucks game.

Re: Report From Our Professional Hockey Photo Workshop

MuddyRiverMedia — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 09:16:55 -0000

Of all the photo workshop opportunities I have ever seen... THIS is by far the best. Perhaps it's the Canadian in me, but I would gladly sell my taxidermied moose collection to experience something like this.

I'm not surprised the Tampa Bay Lightning organization were so supportive.... their leadership on-ice (stars Stamkos, Lecavalier, St. Louis, etc.) and off-ice (General Manager Yzerman) are well known in the hockey world for their class and grace.

This was one of my favorite posts from your blog. I'm hoping we get to see the images shot during the workshop.

Thanks

While they're all great shots, I LOVE the tight shot right after the Photo of the Day screen capture.

Re: The Greatest Sports Photo of All Time

I read this article the other day... and was astounded at the list. As a Canadian, I immediately checked out where the hockey shots placed... and was simply astounded that the top hockey shot WASN'T Bobby Orr flying through the air after scoring a Stanley Cup winning overtime goal. The GREATEST hockey photo EVER. Ask ANY hockey fan.

In fact, there were FOUR hockey photos ranked higher, with the top being Wayne Gretzky scoring to become the top goal scorer in NHL history... an great achievement... but nobody has ever seen that boring picture, let alone consider it great. (see what I did there... Great... Gretzky... the Great One. *sigh* hockey fans would've gotten it)

A freakin' picture of a trout ranked higher than Bobby Orr...Ali/Liston... and 64 other photos. A trout!

This list was ridiculous.

Re: Photoshop Fail Leaves Girl with an Extra Eye in Official Class Portrait

Here's my guess as to what happened. They're processing photos in Lightroom, not Photoshop, and copy/pasted Develop Settings from one photo and applied to another. However, they forgot to uncheck Spot Removal from the Copy Settings dialogue box.

I run into that a lot when I'm developing a batch of images shot under the same lighting conditions. I have to be very aware of what settings I'm copying and pasting.

I grew up working on a dairy farm and your comment was one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Thank you. Thanks, also, for your excellent blog and the great demeanor in it's delivery.

I admit, I think this would be a system that I would like... but the reality is the Lowepro option is less than a quarter the cost since, to make the system workable you need TWO of the holders.

I have no great reason WHY I should win... certainly no reason more compelling than any of the others commenting. I just WANT to win so I can add some cool software to my processing palate.

Trent... I've never thought of doing multiple iterations of frame blending. In all the tutorials I've watched, this is the first I've heard of this technique.

Thanks so very much... now to see if I can cancel my Phantom camera order. ;-)

Kyle... I love this shot. The clean simple colour palette, the lines pointing to the pan... the way the gloved hand is holding the pan. This is one of your best shots imho. Great stuff.

Yes Kyle, you should include the exif data in your desription... south shore photographers want to know this stuff.

First video camera was the Canon GL2... and my first DSLR was the Canon 7D. But lest you think I'm a Canon snob, in between was a Panny HVX200.

My wife thinks society pressuring guys to buy flowers and chocolates on valentines day is a crock... so we just sat back, watched TV and chilled.

I really like this picture. I like the crop on the mug.
