Meeting Art Wolfe in Vegas

I met Art in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago at the Natural Wonders Gallery. There are needless to say a lot of excellent images hanging on the walls there.
Art is a fantastic speaker with a marvelous sense of humour. It was interesting to hear a few stories on the people he has photographed.
I picked up a copy of his latest book "The New Art  of Photographing Nature." This is a wonderful book for any photographer! There are a lot of good creative ideals in it. Especially useful to me were the topics on shitter speed. See page 152 when you get the book. Interestingly enough a fellow attendee purchased that print in a medium size.  Paul (AKA me) really liked that lion print too. It will look marvelous wherever you decide to put it.. ISBN 978 0 7704 3315 4

Special thanks to Maria of the gallery for getting me into the full meet and greet for Art.

Lightroom 5

I just downloaded the new Adobe Lightroom 5.  Using my NAPP discount code took 15% off the upgrade price. Thanks NAPP!

I thought long and hard about going for the Adobe creative cloud. But since I usually only upgrade PS every two versions I decided to wait. Next time I may not have a choice, but now I do.

Also, Joan wants to stay on Lightroom 4, and if she was in the cloud how would this be done? V4 is not in the creative cloud at the moment. Not everyone wants the latest and greatest :-)

Lightroom gets a lot of use so this product gets upgraded every release, but its only $70for the upgrade.

64 gig card in the GF2

I got a 64gig sdxc card and dropped it the GF2 (travel camera). Wow 4137 raw images on one card. That's a long trip.
