Become a Master of the #Photoshop Pen Tool in Under 30 Minutes

TLTV Ep 11- - Royal Winter Fair (Part 2)



We're back for more at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Canada's most prominent agricultural event and the world's largest indoor agricultural and international equestrian competition.

We'll see the immense cow section where a huge number of cows are getting washed and shaved for judging. Then it'll be onto the bird-judging area, for a look at all manner of fowl. Finally we'll finish with a look at some of the other interesting exhibits at the fair, including some giant pumpkins.

Enjoy!

Highly Recommended -- Hoodman SLR Screen Loupe 3"

Here is a product I can't do without!  I have been using the Hoodman SLR Screen Loupe for a year now and I find it indispensable.  At $100 it is not cheap, but then again it is much less expensive than some other loupes out there (like the Z-Finder at $430).  

If you have ever struggled to see the image on the back screen of your camera in bright sunlight, or have ever had difficulty focusing our camera for HD video shoots, this is the product for you!  The loupe blocks out the sun so you can see your screen crisply and clearly, which helps you analyze the photo you just took and helps focus your subject while shooting HD video with your SLR camera.  I have also found it to be a great focal point for stabilizing the camera when panning around while shooting HD video.
I have added the 3x magnifier cap that Hoodman also sells to really see my camera's screen close-up.
Check out the screen loupe here.
All the best,
