Yup, in 11 days, I’ll be going across the pacific…
p.s. Debbie’s photos can be seen here. More Yosemite Photos on this DPReview thread.

w/blog live!

Well, not really 100%… that was just a sensational headline meant to draw your attention… We’ve reached the 0.2 milestone and is getting usable although as a blog owner (not the viewing public) you get lots of system info dumping out every now and then… well, have a look at Ten Thousand Steps.

Blackcurrant lavendar scone! Yummy!

While stuck in traffic…

What should you do? Take out a camera and take photos that’s what!

Bridge and Photoshop

With 350+ photos to edit, not enough time and all that, you’d think that industry standard software maker Adobe could have done a better job with Bridge. What’s Bridge? It’s a file browser/organizer plus sorting/tagging tool. In theory, it allows you to select, sort and organize your photos. While I’m been using Breezesys’ Breeze Browser, I thought I’d give Bridge a go. Bad mistake! With numerous problems (I won’t list them here) not limited to file-locking issues and generally horrible performance… I think I’ll go back to Breeze Browser… maybe I’ll upgrade to the ‘pro’ version.

Adobe Bridge – More shit than it looks!

A thousand frames later…

Or 8,000 megabytes of RAW+JPEG frames…
Some lessons learnt:
-RAW works when light doesn’t
-Generation 3 IS really works
-Even with a 1.6x crop factor, you still need a 70-200 lens!
-Digital white balance (with RAW) is Godsend
