Yep, Hoppen is a great photog. Just so happens that he is really good at Photoshop too.
I'll have to go and have a look at his site because quite frankly I'm in the need of some serious motivation right about now. I'm just about ready to give up because things just haven't been going really good with my photography for the last little while. I called Canon today and it looks like I will be sending ALL of my gear in for a check up. I really hate to admit this, but I am starting to believe TFS concerning Canon being junk. I spent a lot of money on 2 Mark II's now and they have both been junk. Canon gets 1 try to fix this problem and if they don't get it right I will be forced to either go to Nikon, or just give up entirely. I know a guy who recently bought a new MkIIn and had to send it back because of banding. They couldn't fix it so they sent him a new camera. The 2nd camera was worse than the first one, so off to Canon again. Thing that really sucks is he spent like $5000 on a camera back in late Feb and hasn’t been able to use it yet.
Ok enough of a rant for now. I’ll let you all know in a month or so when I get my gear back if it works any better or not.
