Snapshot with cheap zoom lens

[Stephen Lutz]

A shot from last night at an NYE party. Two friends of mine. 10D manual mode, 1/50 of a second, f/7.1, 420EX flash, no compensation. Tokina 24-200 lens. Nothing remarkable about this shot, per se, but it shows pretty good shots are possible from cheap zooms.

I cropped it, used photoshop to take the "flash highlights" off their faces, and then very slight "smart blur" filter to flatter their complexions.
