The New Camera for Street Photography
It’s so easy to fall down the well of “need great gear to make great pictures.” It’s complicated. But taking pictures shouldn’t be.
A Helios Replacement?
I’ve had a copy of Helios for a while now. It’s good, but it’s always seemed a little over complicated. Enter DaylightCal.
What Was Taken
As for the people who broke in? I sincerely hope that their legs grow together.
Smoke. No Mirrors.
That was fun to set up, fun to shoot and the house smelled like Chinese temple for day or two.
Aperture 3: And then there was significantly less rejoicing.
Turns out I jumped the gun. Still no RAW support for the GF1. Bummer. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a bunch of updates and some interesting technology in the update. Ultimately well worth the upgrade cost. But just the one thing I’m really jonesing for. So here’s the learning Lightroom I guess.
Aperture 3: And there was much rejoicing.
I’ve got a pile of design work in front of me, but I’m downloading the trial now. Finally some support for the M43 format. Apple – Aperture – Pro performance with iPhoto simplicity..
New Year’s Eve 2009 and Adventures with Lightroom
January 2009 has really charged out of the gate. At least on the design front. I haven’t shot too much this month. Partially because I’ve been getting my head wrapped around Lightroom and the Lumix GFI. A few words about the later first: It’s a fantastic little camera. It’s easily my new everyday carry camera with the 20mm lens on it. This is the closest thing to an heir apparent to my M6 which has been gathering dust for the last year and half.

Rebuilding Together Wrap Up
So, back in September I spent the day covering a Rebuilding Together project. It was a solid day of shooting, but the project wasn’t entirely finished. It is now. And since I hate leaving things undone, we went back and shot a few portraits of the daughter settled into the renovated space. This was also the first time in the field with the new Pocket Wizard set up. I knew the room was going to be dark and while I favor natural light, this shot wouldn’t have been possible without some help from my speedlites. One on camera with a pop and another behind the subject to bring the background up a bit.
