» Adobe Lightroom 2 - The Missing FAQ

I posted a while ago about a new great book called Adobe Lightroom - The Missing Manual. Well now with the release of Lightroom 2, Victoria Bampton, the author has already released her updated version for Lightroom 2 (Adobe Lightroom 2 - The Missing FAQ). I’ve just reviewed the book and I think it is brilliant and does truly cover a hole that has been empty. I think it is a very well spent £14.95 (approx. $29.95) where you get almost a little lexicon on Lightroom that you can always keep handy. Thanks also to Victoria for providing all of my readers with a discount code. Upon purchase, just type in the following code (without the quotes) "BM2008" and you’ll get a discount!

» Wednesday Artist Interview with Will King

There was a while ago that I used to be running these artist interviews pretty often but it slowed down a bit a short while ago because it’s been hard finding people that want to be interviewed. Nominated however by a friend of mine, Elizabeth was this time around the great photographer, Will King (who by the way nominated another person you’ll perhaps see next week) who shoots some really great photography. Now, Will is one of these cool photographers that masters a lot of areas. He shoots very nice landscapes and yet he captures some truly great wildlife photos. Anyway, enough with the intro talk and let’s get right to it!

Tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m a husband and a father of one boy. My daytime job is a Network Security Analyst. I’ve been an avid photographer for about three years and have been using Photoshop for about two years now. I love and respect all genres of photography. My favorite subjects to shoot are landscapes and seascapes with dramatic light.

Do you have any formal training/what is your background in art?

I have no formal training in photography or art. I study the works of others and ask a lot questions. I have read several photography and Photoshop books and of course I’m a NAPP member which has been extremely beneficial.

» 1Password application out in the App Store!

I’m an avid fan of the Mac application called 1Password that helps you store and manage your passwords. I was thrilled to hear that they were coming out with an iPhone App as well and even more thrilled when I heard the price of it. Free! It really helps to have your database on your iPhone as well because after a while of using 1Password you rely on it a bit to remember a few of the hard passwords you just cannot remember. So if you are using 1Password, check out the currently free iPhone application in the App Store. If you are not a 1Password user, check out my review of it.
