Aperture3 on the surface to me looked like a waste of an upgrade for a professional that just needs to get work shot, approved and delivered. Things like faces may appeal to some, but to me is an utter waste and to see [...]

A true digital light meter, Sekonic – L758DR
If you are a digital photographer and binned your lightmeter, when you realised you could get an accurate exposure data from your camera, far more than was available from your light meter that you used with your film cameras.

Aperture on Two Machines
This is where I start to put basic useful articles on Aperture to help any of those people I talk to, to understand how to use Aperture a little more quickly. Aperture UPNet
EOS1d Mk3 Servo tracking and high speed shooting stuttering.
