Seriously trivial thoughts
As powerful as Lightroom is, it is a dog as far as speed goes when culling or browsing through photos. I found that adding Camera Bit’s Photo Mechanic to my workflow saves me tons of time. Despite it’s $150 price tag, the time savings is more than worth it.
I have to say that Lightroom’s Flag filter UI has got to be one of the poorest UI designs in the history of UI designs…but I digress… For a long while, I could not figure out how to display only the photos that have not been rejected. I was sure you could, but I never …
I had trip planned to Lake Arrowhead, CA. and wanted something fun to play with. I decided on the Nikon Coolpix P900. Ever since its announcement last year, I’ve been more than a little intrigued by this bad boy with its effective 2000mm focal length zoom. My hesitation up til now stemmed from the fact …

I took over 700 photos this weekend of some dogs at a rescue center. I whittled them down to 331 and of that chose 151 as my final set. I use Lightroom presets, but I’ve never applied one when importing. BOY! Have I been missing out! This saved me so much time. I have one …
