This one's been around a bit, but just in case you haven't seen it.

First seen on Laughing Squid. Also on Rocketboom. Also on Urlesque (which maybe had it first? I can't determine which.)

{tips} 70 stunning shots in 2 days

For months and months, people have been clamoring to find out how L.A.-based sports shooter Dustin Snipes managed to produce 70 stunning portraits of basketball players in an insanely short amount of time.

Recently, I was asked to do a guest post for Scott’s blog and thought, “What better way to share this Photoshop tip with everyone than on Mr. Photoshop himself’s blog, Scott Kelby?” I was pretty giddy, to say the least.

We're the ones who are giddy. It's all here. Thanks, Dustin.
