Awash in Pixels

This is my camera menagerie. It’s not all of them but it’s pretty much the A-Team and it’s what always goes with us on a pleasure trip. The little Sony takes some great video and some pretty nice snaps. The Olympus is the water-cam (I have a scuba housing for it) the Coolpix is the one that easily stashes in my pocket and then of course the big daddy that goes with me just about everywhere.

I just got home from a week in Seattle. We spent the 4th of July holiday with family, did a little boating and crabbing, had lunch with Chase and the crew at his studio, and saw some impressive tall ships on parade. I’ll be editing the many gigabytes of images we brought back and posting up a few fun shots here this week

My crystal ball is showing a new version of Aperture 2.0 in the very near future but until then I am stuck editing my RAW files in Capture NX which is the slowest and most cumbersome program I have ever used. Since Adobe has neglected to update any of the new Nikon Camera RAW for their previous programs I have decided to make the switch to Aperture within the month. Seeya, Lightroom.

Check back in soon to learn how to catch a crab and to mix up a “Possum Hunt” cocktail.
