Two years of work is now complete. Wow, where did the time go?

what my neighbor did yesterday, originally uploaded by Music Man5.

While my neighbor was doing this I spent the same amount of time cleaning the exhaust fan from my shop. What a mess.

I could not even walk to the top of this hill before clouds moved in and changed the sky to overcast! Bummer. Should have hopped in the car instead!

Found this interesting article this morning and thought I’d pass it along. RAW Deathmatch

I have used all of these except Capture One and would agree with the reviewers conclusion.

B/W testing , originally uploaded by Music Man5.

I was curious as to how well the monochrome picture style on the 5D worked. This is one of my test shots.

So if I want to shoot b/w portraits is it better to shoot color and create the B/W copy in Lightroom or is it better to shoot in monochrome?

There is a new version of DxO Optics Pro currently available. I have downloaded the free trial version and I must admit it is very impressive.

I have always been a DxO Optics Pro fan but previous versions were so darned slow. When I shoot an event I might have 300-500 images to process and previous versions were just too slow for that many images.

I have not tested version 6 on a high number of images yet as I have not done a shoot with a lot of photos lately. But I did take 20 photos and ran them through versions 6 and 5.4. Version 6 was done in less than half the time 5.4 took and a few minutes faster than Lightroom. (Bibble 5 still beat them all though.)

You still cannot beat DxO for perspective and lens correction and now they have added an automatic exposure tool to handle photos taken under the most difficult lighting conditions.

Click <a href=”http://www.dxo.com/us/photo/dxo_optics_pro/new_in_V6″>HERE</a> to go to their website and download your free trial. I highly recommend it.
