Copped the A7ii with a 2870 kit lens, 50mm 1.8, and a 64gb memory card for $1383. Including a 2 year replacement warranty as well.

-edit-Just looked at my receipt and I see they fukked up and didn't charge me for the kit, which was on sale for $1299. They just charged me for the camera body at $999. I was wondering why it was kinda cheap when she rang me up.

Started using my Wacom small tablet over the weekend. It's definitely a weird feeling to hover over the tablet to move around. And it's going to take some practice just to make my tablet movements match what's on screen.

I've been looking at a bunch of frequency separation and skin retouching tuts lately. I've soaked up lots of info but somehow those Nigerians brehs get that amazing skin texture. I don't know if it's like good makeup to start or what. But they get that real good even texture with the very small fine bumps. I've seen some vids on how they claim it's created but I can't get it to work like they do. :to:I'ma keep practicing though.

i HATE that shyt :russ: but i dont hate on people who do it. i just dont like how fake it makes people look... i shall digress on that. phlearn was the dude who i think i learned how to do it, and he had a actionscript for photoshop.... BUT you are correct in thinking that good ass makeup is the foundation of good skin retouching.its why most of those fake brandon woefel nikkas skin look like plastic and not skin (i hate them more than super bumpy skin) cuz chicks makeup be trash and they shoot at high ISO's. if i can find the phlearn action script or whoever i seen i'll link it

edit:
it wasnt phlearn it was this dude

Jalexphotos is actually the guy i even learned this terminology from. About a month ago he was doing a ask me anything in his IG story and I think someone asked him tips on editing and he answered by saying to check out videos on "Frequency Separation Retouching" and that it helps alot.

I'll take his word for it :manny: I mean he is one of the most popular cameramen for the models, he must be doing something right. After he said that everything made sense cause something about his work stood out. I know you say it looks fake but i believe the contrary...plus if everyone is using photoshop anyway we can argue that all of the work out there looks fake :russ:
