Matt Kloskowski posted an excellent blog entry on his Lightroom Killer Tips site regarding the differences between Aperture and Lightroom. I love that the article is a near translation guide between the two products. Great post!

One of the real advantages of the pro-bodies (D300, D700, D3, etc.) is that they have the 10-pin connecter in the front. That makes the small bluetooth device pretty unobtrusive.

Nikon does offer a N1-CL1 close-up filter for the Nikon 1.

9to5mac is reporting that development and updates to Aperture and iPhoto will cease. They will both be replaced by Photos for OS X. The statement: "With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them...

Couple favorites from my first trip with the lens in late April / early May:

Amazing photos! How did you post process your images? Have you considered trying to adjust the perspective? (Your panel states it is okay to edit so I did a quick edit in PS CC14 below.) The other option to consider to avoid perspective issues is to create a panoramic image.

I did go to the Meetup event yesterday. Turned out to be perfect weather. The farm was a bit smaller than anticipated but pretty interesting. Here are a couple images from the day:

PetaPixel posted an incredibly detailed tutorial describing the Golden Hour, Blue Hour and Twilights. In the article an iOS app, PhotoPills was mentioned. Below is a video overview of the app. Great article and interesting app. http://vimeo.com/61835459

It worked when I asked @jdeg for a Mirrorless forum. Took a lot of bribery though. ("Honestly John, the check IS in the mail.")

Taken with my new Sigma 12-24 last month in Hawaii.

I saw a brief discussion in the July/August 2014 American Photo magazine about a new tripod head from Manfrotto. The interesting concept is that the handles retract. The name of the head is the X PRO 3 Way Head. I can see this being useful during transport and to avoid catching things on them...

Calling all of my local Philly area Nikonites. I just learned about a free tour and photo shoot at the Peace Valley Lavender Farm outside of Doylsetown this Saturday. Chance of rain according to the weather man but I went ahead and signed up. There are still spots open. Here is the link for more...

In case the Nikon 1 shooters here haven't seen it, there is an excellent thread and discussion on DPReview regarding setting up your Nikon 1 to maximize image quality.

Smart Collections are your friend. If you have keywords, create them based on keywords (see below). For instance, I have a Collection Set titled "Europe". Within that Collection Set, I have a Smart Collection for countries.
