"Lightroom 4, Aperture ? and AfterShot Pro" - Digital Photography Podcast 310
With this episode he talks about the recent release of Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta, along with the hopefully release of Apple's Aperture 4. He also talks about the new release from Corel called AfterShot Pro.
After listening to Derrick's review of AfterShot Pro I did download the 30 day free trial. Spend about an hour today fooling with the program and it is pretty impressive. It imports images very fast. It has layers build into so you do not have to do round tripping or use plug-ins. Will it take the place of Lightroom and or Aperture? Personally I do not think so, however it does have some cool feature. It is worth trying for free for 30 days. Will give more input after I spend some more time using this program. So give it a shot.

After leaving Fort Pickens and head East I noticed some cool looking clouds over the beach. I originally shot this image in color, however I decided it would look good in black & White. Shot with the Canon 7D using the Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS Lens.

Well this morning (01/14/12) the Pelican that was doing modeling last Saturday was back again this week. I guess he enjoyed it so much he had to make a return visit.
When I was photographing the modeling Pelican today I caught this shot (see below) of a local photographer taking advantage of the model. The image was shot with the iPhone 4S.

Hope all had a wonderful and safe holiday season.
Over the past weekend I released a new updated look for my StuartOnline Website.
Still making changes and additions but it is up an running.
In time I will be updating to a newer look to the current StuartOnline Blog.
I plan to do some traveling this year which will most likely take me out west and maybe up to Canada. However I do plan to make another photo trip to south Florida to photograph wild life in the Everglades sometime this coming spring.
Keep checking back for updates.
