I was running an errand the other day and saw some hay bales in a field. I planned to come back on Sunday morning and shoot. Went to bed last night looking at the forecast of rain after sunup so figured if it hadn't started, I'd head out. It started to rain about 15 minutes after dawn on a gray...

Terry White just blogged about a free utility to convert Aperture libraries to Lightroom catalogs. Seems pretty well thought out. I don't have anyway to test it but wanted to share the info in case anyone is considering going down that path. (Image directly linked from Terry White)

I wanted a less conspicuous bag for times when I'm out and about. The key was it had to be big enough for my D800 with a mounted lens and two other full size lenses. REI is closing out the 2013 model Timbuktu Camera Sling bag for a pretty reasonable price. (More info here.) I received the Medium...
