I just can't believe that Camera/Lens combo ...

Go to last post
The lense is a real gem like you said in an earlier post, but the talent is there too! I got that same lense but can't get such great result as you do... lack of experience is the cause... a bit frustrating somehow... but time and patience will make me a better photographer! (Oh and maybe a little help from my friend which is you! sigh ;o) )

Don't stay up late plotting it -- you won't have a heck of a lot to say about it in the long run. Indeed, the more you try to be involved, the less involved you will be -- though you may not realize it at the time. The most productive route is to retain your daughter's trust so that when things trouble her she feels comfortable coming to you for advice -- instead of taking the advice of her snotty nosed boyfriends. If you try to overcontrol the situation, you won't ever have the opportunity.

Just one man's point of view...

Hey Yves, have you noticed that the VR seems to work better on the
D2h body? Compared to my D1h and D1x (and D100 before that) it
seems to me that the lens more aggressively locks the image down
and I have noiced a higher percentage of keepers shot at 200mm with
ridiculously low shutter speeds (I get published results down to
1/15 second). I'm wondering if this is a side benefit of the new AF
system with more sensors.

I do not notice any diff with the lense's VR on my D70 but it seems to lock quicker and better on the D2H.

No matter how you look at it, image quality or stabilization, I
aggree with you, the D2h and 70-200/VR is simply one of the finest
camera/lens combos I have EVER used. Simply amazing.

Believe it or not, this is the infamous Auto WB at "0" from the camera. I am also quite happy with this one. Given the condition of lighting, even a Manual WB could have not done a better job here.

In camera sharpness in all my cameras never move, it is and will stay at Normal all the time and I shoot NEF too so if I find it to be too much, I can back that down a notch.

What I typically do to remove pimples or anything in a person's face will vary but in general, I blow the picture up in PS to about 500%, take the patch tool and circle around the pimple and simply slide it to a more perfect skin area. It can take a lot of time or a few seconds depending on the damages to the face. I spent about 5 minutes of cleaning up and blurring after because you will want to blur the fix afterwards too to make the skin smoother. The size of the brush is quite important too, you'll want to use a smaller brush for this to make it natural. If I showed you the original, you'd also notice that she had orange juice and had tons of it around glued around her little mouth (baby druill a lot too ...) and I needed to clean that up as well.

I am thinking of writing a tutorial on how it is done and see if it is marketable. In the classes I am giving, we play a lot with this PS technique especially when we have children pictures ...

Thx for looking.

Did you pre the WB for this shots, and what in-cam sharpness
settings do you use, and finally, what is your technique for
removing the blemishes? At this size, you cannot detect them at
all. Thnx Yves.

Steven S said:
How is the Patch Tool more efective than the Healing Brush for
blemish removal, and how do you perform this blur treatment
afterwords? Are you masking off the face to isolate it? Thnx again.
Click to expand...
With the patch, I can easily isolate and circle around the pimple (remember, the magnification is about 500%) and slide in a cleaner area. Easier done than said I guess.

For blurring, I keep the 500% magnification and use a small size brush 3 to 8 pix usually and apply (no masking) the blur tool starting at 50% a couple of times on each pimple. When finished, I bring the image back to a full size image view and check for weak spots and re-apply if necessary.
