How to Retouch Glass Glare

Steve's been a BAD BOY.... he hasn't posted in over three months! This reaffirms my theory thou... the slower things are the less you get done. And the more hectic times are the more is seems to get accomplished. Go figure!!

Anyway I've been meaning to post several questions I've received lately from you out there. So here one I've gotten several time. How do you retouch glass glare.

I really prefer to shot one shot with their glasses and one in the same pose without glasses. Then merge them together. But I explain both ways to fix them in the video.

Where does the time go?

Well, as was mentioned a few weeks ago, we've got a new DVD or 2 in the makes, and while we were planning on having it out the first week in December, we're a bit behind schedule, but it's a good thing. There is definitely a learning curve whenever you do something new, and this is no exception. We could crank the new DVD out, but I don't think it would meet the quality we want it to have without taking more time on it. Needless to say, we aren't too far behind in schedule. It's looking like it may be the beginning of January, rather than in December, but we'll see what we can do.

Test of the Canon 5D Mark II

OK... so I am not a videographer. I just had to try out the video features of the New Canon 5D Mark II. I had an engagement shoot in Salt Lake City on Monday night and walked around after trying it out. I was very impressed with most everything about the camera. Video quality is incredible. Sound quality is very good. Worked great in low light. The depth of field control was something I could not get enough of. Love the sensor cleaning feature... if it really works. I guess time will tell.
