Aperture 3 at Indy FCPUG Meeting

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 6:52PM

This Thursday, February 25th, at my Final Cut Pro users group meeting, I will be demoing Aperture 3, Apple's latest revision to it's professional photo management and editing software. Why am I showing a photography application at a video users group, you ask? One of the killer new features, and there are many, is that it now supports video and audio clips. Aperture can import, manage, and even edit (as in trim edit, not change-the-look-of-the-image edit) any Quicktime compatible video format. I think this has the potential to be a great video library application, making it easier to catalog, keyword, and find your video when you need it. That is the functionality I will be focusing on at our meeting Thursday night. If you're in the area and are interested, please stop by and join the fun!

In the coming week, I will write a detailed article describing those features here, so if you're interested be sure to check back next week.

If you're more interested in the photo capabilities of Aperture 3, I will be speaking at an upcoming Killbuck Photo Guild meeting (not sure when yet) and showing off all of Aperture's new tricks.

KPG Meeting Follow-up

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 1:20PM

My presentation at the Killbuck Photo Guild went well last night. Hopefully everyone that was there got at least one interesting tidbit from the numerous things that I talked about and showed. I think my Black Rapid Rapid Strap RS-4 was the thing that caught most of the group's attention.

If you missed the meeting or are curious what I talked about, you can download a .pdf file from my presentation slides right here. All of the text and photos link right to the corresponding website.

Speaking at KPG

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 11:38AM

It's official - I'll be speaking at the next Killbuck Photo Guild (the camera club I'm a member of) Monday evening at 5:30. The meeting takes place at Community Hospital Education Center located at 1923 N. Madison Avenue, Anderson, IN. I'll be speaking for about 45 minutes followed by the group's usual critique session. If you're a photographer in the area, you should definitely check it out. There are some excellent photographers and the meetings are a great source of information and inspiration.

The 5:30 portion of the meeting that I'll be handling is centered around the digital aspects of photography. This month will be a Digital Potpourri if you will of software, hardware, and websites that may interest photographers.

Hope to see you there!
