I got such good comments and help on my first pic. In this one there is red in her hair that I cannot not remove. Tell me and show me what I should do to fix it. I will post the original and the one I worked on. Thanks in advance.

I am using PSE 10.

My attempt in LR4. Play around with exposure it looks different on the Hog. Was lighter in LR4

Wow all these positive reviews it will be hard to wait to see what rhe 7D II will look like. Thanks to all

A thanks to all that replyed. I am going to wait until the new 7D is released and make a decision then. At that point the 7D may go down in price and I can compare.

I bought a 7D the week it came out in Oct. 2009 and was so pleased and impressed I bought a second one some months after to keep a 70-200 2.8 on for closer subjects.

I use it for birds and other wildlife with what I feel are excellent results. It's super fast focusing and fast frame advance make it outstanding for sports and wildlife action.

Feel free to check my wildlife photo blog which I update daily for examples of what the 7D can do for photographing wildlife.

Checked out your site WOW. You must spend a lot of time keeping this site up. Thanks for the sugestion.

If you shoot primarily sports and wild life, I'd recommend the 7D over a full frame 5D - reason - slightly faster frame rate, 1.6x crop factor adds to the focal length (your 70-200 is really 112-320) so you can get closer to the action. I have a 7D and a 5D Mk iii - both are fantastic, but I use the 7D for sports for the reasons noted above and use the full frame 5D for everything else (and sometimes for sports too)!

I am leaning toward the 7D selling the 60D and also adding the 5D Mk III.
Thanks, however this may take a year.

Gene: where is Nepa? I live in Downingtown,Pa and have a place in Mansfield, Pa. I would like to go to your spot in PA and take some Elk photos, perhaps next time you go I could join in. I believe you made an invite in your last Elk display. Thanks

I am considering adding the Canon 7D to my bag consisting of the following.
Canon D60, Canon 24-70mm 1:2.8 USM, Canon EF 70-200mm 1:4 L IS USM
Sigma DG 150-500mm 1:5-6.3 APO HSM. My thought is to use the 7d for sports and wildlife. The question is, is this a good choice or not? Thanks

Apps for iPhone to control aperture/depth of field?

I use an app called Kitcam. It lets you set lighting conditions and more.
Check it out.
