Testing Lightroom

[octothorpe]

So as many of you know, I got a fancy new lens, and I am totally digging it.

I'm working a lot in colour, something rather unusual for me, as it's often *so* difficult to get it "right".

I'm also testing Adobe's Lightroom. I've used Apple's Aperture, and I have to say, Lightroom *kills* Aperture, for what I want to do with it. That said, I am not convinced I really need Lightroom, either.

Here are 2 teaser full-frame, low-res output files from Lightroom. The first is our own rockey1. The other is the extinct prehistoric Airshark, which used to rule the skies during the Paleozoic era.

Very nice. What lens did you get?

EF 16-35L II lens. (Canon)

A quick googling came up with this review, although I haven't read it

I'm not seeing "shark" but "placoderm"

Say is that a flying Dunkleosteus?

I like the colour. Keep working with it.

More pictures of the "airshark" please? Fabulous.

I have a few of the "airshark", but right now all developing has been halted until I can get my disk back in working order (luckily, these shots weren't affected by the crash, but my Lightroom app *was*.
