I was looking for ways to create digital backdrops in Photoshop so I am able to simulate a professional studio shot using a normal photo. At first, I keep finding websites that either require me to buy a plugin or buy a EBook. After sometimes, I finally found a YouTube Video by PhotographyBook.net that teaches for free on how to create a digital backdrop in Photoshop. 

After only 10 minutes, I am able to apply the simple technique and come up with my own digital backdrop. So, you don't have to waste any more money to learn this technique anymore, see the video now! 

Tamron has announced the launch of SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO (Model A001), a lightweight, high-performance and fast tele-zoom lens designed for DSLR cameras with 35mm full-size image sensors. The release date of the lens designed for Sony Mount will be determined later.

SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO

The new SP AF70-200mm Di LD (IF) MACRO (Model A001) is an F/2.8 fast tele-zoom designed for DSLRs with 35mm full-size image sensors, inheriting product concept of the existing SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di (Model A09) that is highly acclaimed as a compact and fast standard zoom lens enabling photographers to enjoy high cost performance characteristics.

While dimensional increases are confined to the absolute minimum, the new SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO zoom lens offers the MFD (minimum focusing distance) of 0.95m over the entire zoom range for the maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f=200mm focal length, for stress-free photography, combined with the advantage of an internal focusing (IF) system.

It enables the user to cover a focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on a 35mm full-size DSLR camera and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm equivalent^* ultra telephoto (35mm equivalent, in an angle of view of 7°59') when mounted on a DSLR camera equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.
