Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4

Leave a comment

Adobe has announced the release of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 (which I will hereafter refer to as “Lightroom 4”), the newest update to the application. For many (probably most) photographers using Adobe tools for their photography, Lightroom is probably the best option. It provides quite a bit of image editing/processing power and flexibility, excellent tools for organizing large photograph collections, and a wide range of effective methods for outputting final images to the web, to video, to various types of print publication, and as photographic prints.

Depending on your situation, the update is available several forms:

‘Lyrical Landscapes’ by Charles Cramer

2 Comments

Noted landscape photograph photographer Charles Cramer is presenting free a talk on “Lyrical Landscapes” at De Anza College in Cupertino on Friday, June 10 at 6:00 p.m. The event is in the “Choral Hall,” room A11 near the Flint Center auditorium on campus.

Charlie is one of the most highly regarded landscape photographers working today, and his knowledge and understanding of how to achieve a beautiful print is unparalleled. I believe that he will address these things along with some ideas about the parallels between his photography and music. Charlie is also a very talented musician – like a good number of other photographers. (Believe it or not, Charlie played organ at our wedding, oh so many years ago! :-)

I urge San Francisco Bay Area photographers to join me at De Anza on June 10 for this event!

(I’m a faculty member at De Anza and my office is in building where the event will take place.)

Ken Burns National Parks Video Online

Although I was in Yosemite this past weekend when the program started (yes, doing photography), between making photographs and working on them after returning I have yet to see any of the Ken Burns National Park series on PBS. However… I see now that you can watch them online for a limited time.

An odd juxtapostion of signs on a street kiosk in San Francisco, California.

Sometimes, if you walk around with your eyes open, you see juxtapositions that almost defy description – so I won’t describe; I’ll just post.

These are images from a sidewalk kiosk on a street in downtown San Francisco.
