October 25, 201312 yr Love the photo, Ian! On a separate note, anyone here running LR5 on Mavericks? Any issues? Though it still works, Mavericks appear to have broken some interface feature on LR4 (at least on my machine) so I'm thinking it's a good time as any to upgrade to LR5.
October 27, 201312 yr Some pics in Asia And the eternal question is answered. Q Why did the chicken cross the road? A To get to the white yak
October 27, 201312 yr Didin't look to see if this is a known issue, but after I upgraded to LR5(.2), it managed to "lose" good chunk of photos from my catalog. The photos weren't actually deleted or moved, but weren't showing up on my catalog. It was easy enough to add them back, but still annoying.
October 27, 201312 yr Yes, I missed critical focus here and I'm not usually a fan of blown out backgrounds however, the image carries with it a nice story. Hope you like it. I saw this gentleman on my way back from the edge of the Deerfield Beach pier. He was rather quiet and diminutive and went about baiting his hooks with a mother's patience. A welcome relief from the gregarious bunch fishing off the end of the pier. His motions were practiced and deliberate and while his brow scrunched with concentration his entire body was relaxed. He had obviously done this before. I watched him admiringly for a few minutes and then asked him if I could take a picture of him. He stared back at me in terror as if I had asked him to commit some heinous crime. Feverishly, he took out his receipt indicating a fishing permit. I took out my camera and flashed it in front of him hoping he would understand my request. He calmed down immediately as he understood I wasn't an inspector. No matter how much I tried to convince him, he wouldn't stop sticking the hook in front of the lens. I still don't know what he thinks I wanted to take a picture of but he swung the fishing line so proudly, I didn't protest and included it in the frame. I thanked him for his time and he opened a giant cooler he was sitting on and grabbed a plastic bag. Now I was confused as he motioned for me to look inside. I saw more fish in that cooler than all the ones the guys at the end of pier had caught. Given my lack of knowledge on the proper way to gut a fish, I politely declined. But I walked away smiling.

October 28, 201312 yr Thanks guys. No burning or dodging. Just adjusted levels in LR 4 and cropped it. Haj, it's taken with your favorite Nikon portrait lens

October 28, 201312 yr It's HEAVY. And looooooong. I find it rather cumbersome at times. Then again, I have only every used 35/50mm in the past so could stand fairly close. Even with the 105 dc I didn't have to walk back as far. The guy didn't know what he had. Sold me the 135 dc for an absurd price because "it made too much noise while focusing."

Nice. 105DC would be a lot cheaper, especially used, but it would be bit close to 85mm I already own.
October 30, 201312 yr The 105 DC goes for only maybe $100 less on the used market these days. Took a break from Histology today.
