Finally some good news – it’s Friday!
Well, there’s some other good news too. Wacom delivered the something to me door yesterday to review here on the blog. I’ll be doing a more detailed write-up for both Windows and Mac in the near future, but thought y’all might be interested in the unboxing – seeing what you get from the good folks at Wacom when you order a: BAMBOO FUN! So, here’s a little teaser video for those that are interested: This might be fodder for an upcoming contest or giveaway, but only time will tell, so keep your fingers crossed. In the meantime, here’s the rest … Continue reading
When it rains, it pours!
Well, yesterday I had a great conversation with Tom Hogarty, senior Product Manager for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for inclusion in the upcoming podcast. In my excitement to finish the post production side, I came downstairs at 3am to my man-cave, and found that Jason Moore had finished an article I sent him for possible inclusion in his “Workflow Friday” series, and posted that out there. Egads! Thanks to Jason for that outlet as well. What’s kind of exciting about that article, is that not only did Jason find it interesting enough to include with the collection of folks that have … Continue reading
On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful…
A short vacation means that I’ve not had much time to generate any photo-related content, but hopefully the title will be a hint of things to come, so be sure to stop back in Monday for some photo goodness and other news and events. In the meantime, enjoy the weekend, and have a Happy Easter. On that note, enjoy a Friday funny courtesy of What the Duck! Happy Shooting!
The train rides again (take two)…
For today’s post you’ve got a special treat coming, because the train rides again! If you recall, earlier this week I posted the results of a little miniature project where I tried some varying depth of field, angles, and such on a model train. The project results didn’t yield anything breath-taking in picture, but I did learn where the best areas for focusing are on trains. I found out what appealed to me, what appealed to others, and filed it away. Then, as luck would have it – I had my camera with me today on the way home from … Continue reading
Feathered Friday…
A happy feathered Friday to all! Permit me to explain…recently the subject of egrets became a popular tangent in a photo forum that I actively participate in, and after some fun dialog, I shared a few shots from work I had done in the past in capturing these amazing animals. They really are quite beautiful, and on a whim I went through two shoots that had a lot of egret shots and quick processed theb into an Adobe Photo Gallery. Since I don’t believe I’ve shared these shots previously, here are some shots for your fine friday! (If you click … Continue reading
Camera Profiles
So, today I had the day off work, and was catching up on a few things. I read through most of my piled up photo magazines, caught up on some NAPP tutorials, and some overdue email replies to various asundry things. One of the tutorials I watched was from Matt Kloskowski on installing camera profiles for ACR in both LR and CS3/CS4. It’s pretty cool stuff. Basically, Adobe has worked with various camera vendors to get the ACR to approximate the same colors that are shown in the vendor proprietary software (Digital Photo Professional for Canon and Capture NX for … Continue reading
Be careful with Adobe updates!
I was just in the NAPP forums (a great place to learn by the way), and learned about the ACR update. Since I already am good on the gear compatibility side, I went to the readme.txt file to see if there were any other updates to the programs that I should be aware of (Podpress has made me very cautious about updating too soon…) Turns out there are some LR issues with a few tools and with XMP sidecar files versus database entries. If this is all gibberish to you, then don’t worry you are probably fine. For the more … Continue reading
Forgetful Fridays
With my crazy work schedule, I completely forgot to write the Friday Funnies, so now it’s also the Forgotten Friday! So, what happened that was funny this week? Well, anyone that follows photography found out about the newest additions to the Canon and Nikon line-ups. Canon announced the 50D, and Nikon announced the D90 on the heels of Canon. While this may just seem to be news and events, what’s funnt about this is that there have been rumors about the next bodies that each would be releasing for a long time now, and most were resigned to waiting until … Continue reading
Finally Friday – A Week in Review
Yes, it’s finally Friday, and with a long weekend ahead of us, we can enjoy a little more down time. Mine will start about 30 seconds after I finish this post!

Additionally, posters and graphics are being compiled for people … Continue reading
