    Apple Announces The End For Aperture

    I guess it had to come eventually. I noticed when I got into this almost two months ago, all of the books and learning materials for Aperture seemed to be a bit dated. I wasn't real sure why the version info seemed to relate, but it just seemed that the software had been hanging out there. Not...

    First Formal Training

    I mentioned it in the "Recent Purchases" thread, but after having the night to sleep on it I thought perhaps a blog post (versus a forum post) might be the best place to capture my thoughts. As a bit of background, I have no formal photography training or background. I dabbled with 35mm film...

    A very hard time for my family

    @Bill16 ... still not giving up with the thoughts and prayers. My wife is a pharmacist ... sometimes it's trial and error to find the right combination but they'll get it worked out.

    How do I shorten my URL

    The links look identical in size to the rest of your signature from here ... granted it's a Mac, so everything looks just the way it should. :)

    RocketCowboy's D5300 Pics

    A few pics from this week's trip to Little Rock Arkansas. Any feedback/critique/criticism is appreciated. The sun was setting since I didn't get out until just before dinner. It gave me some interesting shadows to work with, depending on where I was on my walkabout...

    DX Camera - DX or FX Glass?

    I'm just getting restarted with photography, but jumped back in with the D5300. I know that I'll start replacing the kit lenses with better glass as funds become available. My question then is this... I'm pretty sure the 5300 will end up becoming my second body that is either the backup body or...

    RocketCowboy's D5300 Pics

    The first picture I've tried doing some edits in Aperture with. All my posts so far have just been using Aperture to pull the photo from the camera and convert raw to jpg.

    RocketCowboy's D5300 Pics

    For the pics today, I switched over to P mode (rather than aperture priority where I had been shooting) and also started toying with some of the white balance and picture control presets to see how the camera reacted differently.

    Editing Histograms?

    Did a quick forum search and just saw threads referring to tweaking the histogram for a raw picture, but where can I learn the how-to? I haven't spent any time learning a process for post-processing pictures after I've shot them, instead I'm still in the mindset of getting the best picture on...

    Points

    First, thanks @jdeg for all that you do with this site! There's a ton of work that goes on in the back end that most users don't see, other than the end result. Second, with the new likes/thanks system, it doesn't look like this is carried over to the tapatalk interface. Prior to the change I...
