Lightroom is as much or more about organization and metadata as it is about manipulation. You can't do pixel level editing in LR, and Layers don't exist there, so PS and other editors are still useful even if you use LR. My dad doesn't shoot nearly the volume that I do, and LR doesn't make sense

Re: Unusual effect and PESO - What do we have for dinner tonight?

Igor, Charles is right and f5.6 isn't much of a stop down for Macro. Mirror shake can be there, but the depth of field is the real issue. Try a flash (or two) and a smaller aperture. You're trying to photograph a pretty wide field. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 12:19 PM, Charles Robinson

PESO x2: Dancers and Audience

Some friends of mine threw a show in St. Paul on Friday night. I got in for free in exchange for photographing the festivities - a fair exchange. One favorite image from the gallery is this one: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2011/new_standards_holiday_show/content/IMGP5948_large.html

Re: peso - rainy day

Sasha, I like the photo and the mood. While I in general like the square format photos, this one doesn't seem to work best for me. Somehow, I want to have it horizontally extended, along the "tunnel" of light. But at the same time, cutting the top off wouldn't work for me. So, I guess taking t

Tom, I get no problems on my desktop (vs laptop) so there you go... That is an attractive pile of junk(?!!). The car body is an excellent color of rust. And your photo makes it look like it is posing for you. The car body is isolated on the grass and not overgrown on the interior. Regards, Bob S.

Unusual effect and PESO - What do we have for dinner tonight?

I was cooking some beef yesterday in the stove. When I took it out, I spent some time trying to get the picture. Unfortunately, it didn't come out as sharp as I wanted. http://42graphy.org/misc/_IR33616.jpg The interesting part is that the droplets were hanging down, below the pot cover, and o

That's interesting, Bong.  I only edited images that had already been accepted under the old system, so I can't confirm your experience. They allowed me to update the image after it had been accepted (with a cleaner version of the same shot), but the change did not take effect for two week, during
