ByDerekScott Adams, creator of Dilbert, recently commissioned a survey of American economists to find out their opinions on the presidential candidates.

WTF American Idol?
ByDerekI was too disturbed after watching South Park last night to comment on Idol… but WTF? Kelly didn’t end up in the bottom three after completely butchering her song (even by her own admission!) and Chris did? I guess America really does love dumb blondes. I also fail to see the hoopla about Katharine. She…

An article on TheStreet.com discusses the likelihood that the tipping of the political scales will likely mean that net neutrality will be preserved.

for something like this, to replicate the feel I think you want, you probably want to feather edges of your faux-vignette a little more and add a layer or two of grain to give it more of a realistic, film-y feel. Very cool shot, though.
it’s a very nice shot, i like it a lot, but the corner darking could be less dark. i’m sure your camera didn’t do it THAT dark (and if it did, maybe something is wrong haha).
Yeah, the vignette is completely Photoshopped and I couldn’t get it to come out quite the way I wanted it to. I also went back to the RAW shot and tweaked it a little bit to make it a bit more dynamic. Going to take it back into PS and work it a bit more.
