a jump to big lights
I’m a Nikon guy and I love speedlights. I love CLS and the built-in freedom we get as Nikon shooters to basically build an entirely wireless studio at no added cost. But sometimes you just need more power. Heck, even David Hobby agrees with that ;-) With a shoot coming up involving largish group shots [...]
New bug with 10.6.3 and Aperture 3.0.2 UPDATED
I know I’ve been pretty silent about Aperture 3 since it came out, especially considering how much I had been waiting for this upgrade.

aperture 3 coming?
Ok, first off: I know nothing. This is pure speculation.
